  This 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T is a beautiful, rotisserie restored

  Mopar muscle car with a menacing look and feel! 1970 was arguably

  the peak of America's muscle car era. While Dodge did offer several

  successful muscle car options, such as the Charger and Coronet, the

  Chrysler marque lacked a true pony car from its lineup. Most

  attribute the first pony car to Ford with its debut of the Mustang

  in the middle of 1964, a youth-oriented, sporty car with a modest

  price tag. In the years that followed, virtually all of the other

  American manufacturers released their own pony cars such as the

  Chevrolet Camaro, the Pontiac Firebird, the Mercury Cougar, and the

  AMC Javelin, and consumers enjoyed the performance look and feel

  that these cars offered. Of course, in 1970 when Dodge released its

  own pony car, the Challenger, its was a huge success and Dodge

  produced over 84,000 units. The front end of the '70 Challenger

  looked mean, with a full-width, recessed grille that simulated a

  performance-oriented induction system. Down the sides, the new

  Challengers sported the iconic "Coke-Bottle" lines with raised rear

  quarter panels that sloped down into the taillights. The rear end

  layout was elegantly designed, with an almost space-aged inspired

  design with two large taillights that occupied virtually all of the

  rear escutcheon panel with the exception of a small center license

  plate sized gap featuring the Dodge nameplate. Even in the

  Challenger's debut year, Dodge offered numerous option packages

  such as the economy "Deputy" package, the more formal "SE" package,

  and the performance oriented "R/T" and "T/A" packages. The

  Challenger R/T came outfitted with several performance upgrades

  including heavier duty brakes and more powerful engine options,

  along with upgraded trim options such as special R/T decals and

  emblems, along with the more feature-rich Rallye Gauge cluster. In

  total, Dodge produced 14,889 Challenger R/T hardtops which makes

  this R/T Challenger quite a special and collectible automobile.

  This particular example comes to us with its Production Broadcast

  Build Sheet along with its fender tag from an excellent steward of

  the car. Powering this '70 Challenger R/T is an upgraded 440 Cubic

  Inch V8 engine fed by a single 4 barrel carburetor tucked beneath

  the dual snorkel air cleaner. The NOM 440 V8 is backed by a 727

  TorqueFlite Automatic Transmission that makes this Mopar pony car

  an easy car for just about anybody to take for a spin around the

  block. Exhaust leaved this Dodge's 440 powerplant via a dual

  exhaust setup with FlowMaster mufflers that generates a fantastic

  throaty sound out of the rear tailpipes. This '70 Challenger comes

  outfitted with great options! With power steering, squeezing this

  Dodge Challenger R/T into a tight parking space at the local car

  show or drive-in is a total breeze and the overall driving

  experience is much improved. Further assisting in tight spaces is

  the addition of dual chrome outside mirrors. Riding on a set of

  BFGoodrich Radial T/A raised letter tires mounted on a set of

  optional Code W21 Rallye Wheels accented with Beauty Rings, this

  1970 Challenger R/T is a fantastic look and even better ride.

  Braking is supplied by drum brakes in all four corners that run

  through a dual master cylinder that provides more reliable stopping

  power. The body of this 1970 Challenger has been correctly

  refinished in Dark Green Metallic paint with R/T beltline decals

  that complete the exterior look of this pony car. The interior of

  this 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T is gorgeous! The front high-back

  bucket seats and rear bench seat have been correctly reupholstered

  in Green Vinyl. The color-matched door panels, carpeting, center

  console, and padded dash all appear to remain in their stock

  configuration and appear to retain a nice stock appearance. The

  simulated woodgrain trimmed Rallye instrument cluster is outfitted

  with a 150 MPH speedometer, 8,000 RPM tachometer, oil pressure

  gauge, temperature gauge, alternator gauge, fuel gauge, and Rallye

  clock. The dash is finished off with an AM/FM entertainment system,

  various lighting and climate controls, indicator lights, a

  slide-out ashtray and locking glovebox. Whether you're buying your

  first classic muscle car or you're adding to your existing Mopar

  collection, this 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T would make an excellent

  choice. Give Ellingson's a call today at !
