History
The article quotes the owner of the five Challengers used for the 1996 television remake as saying a reliable source told him the original five cars were sold for scrap at a Los Angeles salvage auction in 1971. He states that none of the originals is known to survive, so the only screen-used Challengers that can be seen are the remake cars. This is one account, so the fate of the 1971 cars remains disputed.
