Summary:
Used 1970 Dodge Challenger Red
Location:
Salt Lake City, UT
Description:
1970 Challenger R/t , one of about 9,000 made and an original factory red car with black interior, black vinyl top, and factory white r/t stripes, I added rear louvers, wing, and hood decal and changed the r/t stripes to black, have a partial build sheet that shows this, it was a 383 with an automatic ,but someone at the factory welded in front hemi torque boxes so it was partially ready for my transformation.ENGINE and drive train. It now has a steel world block Hemi ( the very best hemi block made and now obsolete) with modern steel mopar heads with hardened seats to run pump gas and a Hemi four-speed with a full 11 inch center force clutch and an original B Body Dana sixty with 3.54 gears. With the extra one inch on each side from the B Body rear and the relocated super stock springs there is plenty of room for the monster 295/15/50 rear Tires. The engine is custom built with a Keith black gear drive and all roller components, roller cam, roller rockers, and solid roller lifters and is a non-stroker 426 engine with H beam rods and forged lightweight pistons-and file fit rings. The exhaust is Hemi manifolds with a TTI three inch exhaust. Two six fifty thunder series carbs modified down to 550 each and a Methanol/ Water system permits using pump gas and still have 116 octane equivalent fuel on demand. ( See the picture of the methanol tank in the trunk and the O2 gauge under the dash to monitor the air-fuel ratio .28 cents a gallon to get race gas!!!).BODY and trim The entire car is all original panels with small repairs on the quarters, the doors and fenders have never been rusty or repaired. ( one fender and front valance is N.O.S. Replacements from many years ago) The trunk floor is original with repairs. The paint is fresh and the grille is restored and original bumpers are re-chromed, most all of the trim is new including the tail light trim.INTERIOR The interior has original door panels and they are very nice, rear seat covers and the nicest ORIGINAL dash pad you have ever seen, probably a three thousand dollar pad if you could even find one like it, the grain on reproductions just do not look like this pad, it's awesome to look out the windshield over this amazing dash, new carpet, headliner and front seat covers make up the rest of the original interior. The seat belts are original and perfect. The gauges work perfectly with a rebuilt tack that reads correctly with modern electronics and an aftermarket volt gauge since the dash harness has been bypassed so that most of the voltage goes to the battery. It has a second fuse panel on the passenger side for the extra accessories to protect from an electrical fire, something very common on these old cars. The sound system is very good with an amp in the trunk behind the collapsible spare and four speakers, the head unit works with a phone and blue tooth for music. Not an original Air conditioned car just like all real Hemi cars but yes it has air conditioning as well, vintage air, and heat, both work great.OVERALL This car is NOT just a bunch of reproduction body parts welded on to a rust bucket it's more along the lines of a survivor (though it looks totally restored) that has been babied for fourth nine years and I have an appraisal to support the value of the car for insurance or this sale at an honest 73k. I have owned the car two years and been to one big show, I came away with a best in class trophy.
