Dodge Challenger Western Sport Special (1970)JS23
The Western Sport Special was a $199.50 option availible in the order books shortly after the Challenger's launch in August, 1969. It was a regionally-unique option to the Los Angeles and San Francisco areas. It was mostly an apprearance package available on the Challenger Highline (JH23) Models.

The WSS package consisted of a vinyl top, Western Sport Special decals on the rear quarter, a woodgrain applique, rim-blow wheel, sill and belt mouldings, the astrotone applique above the rear taillights, front splash pan scoop, cowl moulding, pedal-dress up kit, bumper guards, a driver's side remote control mirror, and 14" Rallye wheels with F78x14 Polyglas tires. The option code was A91 on the fender tag.



Production numbers are as follows:
225 Slant Six - 145
318 2-V - 1,066
340 4-V - 1*
383-2V - 381


*That number could be closer to three or four, One documented example has the 340 performance package.
A Challenger Trans-Am exists with all the Western Sport Package accounterments. All but a handful of WSS Challengers were built at the Los Angeles plant, and also would have the N94 Evaporative Emissions Control package, mandatory for all California Cars, and this example has neither. It is a possiblity that a dealer added the package to a T/A to get it off the lot.
