§ V.02What moves a car within the band
Within that band, coupe cars are the most frequently traded body style in this set (179 of 353 sales), and automatic cars account for 166 of them. Condition, originality and documented history move a car further than any single specification, which is why the middle half of the range is wide.
The spread by variant, printed in full above, is usually wider than the spread by year: a convertible at $82,500 and a hardtop at $55,000 are not the same market, and a single median that mixes them describes neither.

§ V.06Questions
What is a 1970–1974 Dodge Challenger worth?
A 1970–1974 Dodge Challenger sold for a median of $66,000 across 353 completed auctions from January 2016 to November 2026 (BidBetter, as of 3 November 2026).
The middle half of those 353 sales fell between $42,900 and $95,700 (the typical range), and the full range after cleaning was $6,600 to $502,000.
What affects the price of a 1970–1974 Dodge Challenger?
Model year: by year, medians run from $29,700 for 1974 (9 sales) to $76,000 for 1970 (212 sales).
Body style: a convertible holds a median of $82,500 on 61 sales, against $55,000 on 33 for a hardtop.
Transmission: Manuals hold a median of $88,000 on 124 sales, against $55,000 on 166 for automatics.
Condition, originality and documented history move a car further than any single specification, which is why the middle half of sales spans $42,900 to $95,700.
Is the Dodge Challenger 1970-1974 going up or down in value?
Up. The 65 sales in the 12 months to 3 November 2026 had a median of $77,000, against $62,700 on 33 sales in the 12 months before, a rise of 22.8%. That compares whichever cars came to auction in each year, not the same cars sold twice, so read it as the direction of the market rather than a rate of appreciation.
How many Dodge Challenger sales is that based on?
353 completed auction sales, from January 2016 to 1 November 2026. The table above lists the 15 most recent, each linked to its auction record. The figures were last rebuilt on 3 November 2026.
What is the difference between the typical range and the full range?
The typical range is $42,900 to $95,700: half of all 353 sales fell inside it. The full range is $6,600 to $502,000, the cheapest and dearest sale that survived cleaning. The full range is set by outliers, so it is a boundary rather than a guide to what most cars bring.
Which body style holds its value best?
On this set, coupe is the most frequently sold at 179 sales with a median of $61,600. The highest median among body styles is convertible at $82,500, though it rests on fewer sales. Each variant's median and count are in the table above.
Do manual or automatic cars sell for more?
In this set, automatic cars account for 166 of 353 sales. Manuals hold a median of $88,000 on 124 sales, against $55,000 on 166 for automatics.
Does mileage change the value?
Mileage is recorded for part of this set, not all of it, so it is not used to adjust the median. It is shown in the sales table wherever the auction record carries it, and you can see the effect directly by comparing rows.
How current is this figure?
Data as of . The figures are rebuilt from completed sales on a schedule, and the date above is the date of the last rebuild, not the date this page was loaded.
§ V.07Method and sources
What these figures are. Every number on this page is computed from completed auction sales of Dodge Challenger cars built between 1970 and 1974. The median is the 50th percentile of the sale prices; the typical range is the 25th to 75th percentile; the full range is the lowest and highest sale that survived cleaning. Percentiles are linearly interpolated on the sorted prices.
What is excluded. Asking prices, reserve-not-met results, withdrawn lots and unsold cars are not prices and are not counted. Parts, memorabilia, literature, scale models and other non-vehicle lots are excluded. Sales not made in US dollars are excluded, so these figures describe the dollar market. Duplicate records are removed. Sales below a plausibility floor (5% of the median) and above a ceiling (10× the median) are set aside, because a $22 "911" is a data error rather than a cheap car.
What it is not. This is not an appraisal or an inspection, and it does not predict what any particular car will bring. Two cars built the same year can differ by more than the whole typical range on condition, originality, documentation and provenance.
The set. 353 sales from January 2016 to 1 November 2026, drawn from 13 auction sources, principally Barrett-Jackson (218), Bring a Trailer (75), Mecum (16), Autohunter (11), RM Sotheby's (11), Hagerty (8), Hemmings (6), Bonhams (2), Broad Arrow (2), Acc (1), Cars & Bids (1), PCARMARKET (1).
