This 1970 HEMI Charger R/T is one of 112 built in 1970 and one of

　　56 built with the 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission. The car

　　also was equipped with the A32 Super Performance Axle Package with

　　a Dana 60 rear end, heavy-duty suspension, power steering, power

　　font disc brakes, radio, heater, wood-grain dash, leather

　　bucket-seat interior, vinyl roof and increased cooling with a

　　factory-installed transmission cooler. The color is FF4 Light Green

　　Metallic with a VF1 green vinyl roof. The car was stripped of all

　　paint and completely refinished, including the underside, in 1990

　　by Rick's Auto Body in Conway, PA. The Charger was reassembled by

　　Rick's Auto Body with a new vinyl roof. The front and rear bumpers

　　were chrome-plated. The brake lines, fuel lines and brake hoses

　　were all replaced, as were the gas tank and sending unit. The front

　　suspension was completely rebuilt with all new TRW parts and

　　bushings. New stock shock absorbers were installed in the front and

　　rear. The brake system had a new Mopar master cylinder installed.

　　The front and rear brakes were completely rebuilt with new parts. A

　　new Mopar NOS power steering box and pump were installed. The

　　engine and transmission were removed for rebuilding in January 1997

　　by Edward Eckenrode of Pittsburgh, PA. The original

　　matching-numbers HEMI engine was completely rebuilt with Ross

　　custom-made .030 oversize 11:1 pistons. The crank was turned to

　　.020 undersized and the assembly rebalanced. A new Mopar stock

　　street HEMI hydraulic lifter cam was installed, as were a new

　　high-volume oil pump, stock oil pan windage tray and pickup. The

　　car received a new set of 1970 original Carter carburetors, as well

　　as a complete stock exhaust system, including the manifold heat

　　tubes. A new Mopar reproduction battery was installed in 2006. The

　　transmission (1969 model) was completely rebuilt to factory

　　specifications with an original HEMI torque converter installed. An

　　electric fuel pump and multi-spark ignition were added to improve

　　starting function, as this car was driven very little. It was kept

　　in a heated garage. From the Frank Tiegs Collection. ** PREVIEW
