Pair of Classic Dodge Challenger Convertibles Headed to Mecum Harrisburg 2025Two highly desirable Dodge Challenger convertibles are set to cross the block at Mecum’s Harrisburg 2025 auction on Saturday, July 26, offering collectors a rare opportunity to bid on prime examples of Mopar muscle.
1971 Dodge Challenger Convertible – Lot S217
This rotisserie-restored Challenger combines meticulous craftsmanship with upgraded performance. Originally a 383-powered car, it now features a rebuilt, period-correct 440-cubic-inch V-8 with a Six Pack carburetor setup. The powerplant is paired with a four-speed manual transmission operated by the classic Pistol Grip shifter.
Finished in deep black paint applied by Bruce Harvey of ProComp Custom, a multiple-time Ridler Award-winning builder, the car retains an original-style black interior, Rallye wheels, and Goodyear Polyglas GT tires. Highlights include power steering, power brakes, bucket seats, and a restored convertible top. The car comes from a private collection and has been carefully maintained to show-quality standards.
1970 Dodge Challenger R/T Convertible – Lot S134
The second Challenger is a factory R/T convertible finished in striking Plum Crazy Purple with a white interior. Originally equipped with a 383 big block, it now carries a legendary 426-cubic-inch Hemi V-8 mated to an upgraded five-speed manual transmission. A Hurst Pistol Grip shifter, power brakes, and Rallye wheels reinforce its performance pedigree, while features like a power top, high-back bucket seats, and rear Bumble Bee stripe maintain its classic appeal.
Additional details include hood pins, a custom sound system, and a thumbwheel radio with an 8-track player, making it as stylish as it is powerful.
These two convertibles are expected to attract strong attention from bidders looking for show-stopping muscle cars with both originality and performance upgrades. Mecum’s Harrisburg event runs July 24-27, 2025, with these lots scheduled for Saturday.
