Highlights

- The vendor describes the car as being in very good overall condition and very comfortable

The Appeal
The Dodge Challenger is one of the most recognisable nameplates in American motoring, its modern incarnation channelling the spirit of the original 1970s muscle car with bold, aggressive styling. This example is powered by the 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 and paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox, offering a compelling blend of performance and usability.
Imported from Libya, this Challenger was driven by its owner on a remarkable 1,500-mile journey to England, crossing Tunisia, Italy, Switzerland, and France over four days, a journey completed, we're told, without a single issue. It shows 48,802 miles on the odometer and has reportedly been maintained with oil and filter changes every 3,000–4,000 miles.
The vendor notes that the bodywork would benefit from a polish and wax, but is otherwise sound, and the cabin is reported to be very comfortable with only minor wear to the armrest.
Prospective buyers should note that import duty and taxes remain to be paid, but for those seeking an eye-catching American coupé with a story to tell, this Challenger warrants a closer look.
