The 1979 Dodge Challenger was a bit different from the muscle-bound legend of the early '70s. This version leaned into a more personal luxury coupe vibe, but you could still get it with a 225 Slant-Six, 318 V8, or even a 360 V8 if you wanted some punch. If yours is running a little rough, start by checking ignition components, fuel lines, and the brake system—these are common problem areas after years of sitting. One of the best things you can do for your '79 Challenger? Fresh weatherstripping and suspension upgrades. Worn-out seals mean a noisy cabin and potential leaks, while sagging springs and tired shocks make it handle like a boat.
