In 1970, Dan Gurney bought out Carroll Shelby and has been sole owner, CEO and Chairman of All American Racers ever since.  From its inception, AAR Inc. intended to build cars for its own racing teams and also for sale to customers.  He and Phil Remington began by preparing aptly named AAR 'Cuda and Challenger T/A's to race in the Sports Car Club of America's Trans American Sedan Championship for himself and other drivers like Sam Posey.

To comply with SCCA rules, Dodge built a muscle car version of the Trans-Am Series car for the street that was even wilder than the competition model, the 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A.  The race cars ran a destroked 305-cid version of Mopar's fine 340-cid V-8. It had a four-barrel carb and some 440 bhp.  The street T/As stayed with the 340, but upped the ante with a trio of two-barrel Holleys atop an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold.  Factory reported output at 290 bhp, actual horsepower was closer to 350 bhp.

The first batch of Challenger T/A's were delivered to none other than Mr. Norm's Grand Spaulding Dodge.  Mr. Norm ordered a variety of color unique combinations, like this one, that have ended up to be a documented one of one. With her gloss black paint, satin black T/A stripes, black out hood, offset by her white interior and white top, this Trans Am Challenger looks like James Bond sporting his dinner tuxedo. 

Living her entire life in the midwest, long term storage saved her from the ravages of winters and salt.  Since her complete rotessorie restoration she's lived the high life, winning top honors in her class at Chrylser's at Carlise in 2007, featured in magazines includine Mopar Collector's Guide, and invited to the most exclusive Mopar invational: Mopar's at the Playboy Mansion.

Documentation includes original bill of sale from Mr. Norm's Grand Spaulding Dodge, Dealer order sheet, and orginal window sticker.  If you are looking for a truly rare and significant investment collectible with impeccable documentation and a national show winning pedigree, look no further that the Challenger T/A dressed to kill.
