Vehicle Description
With an attention-grabbing and factory-correct color combo, this
restored 1970 Dodge Challenger is already exceptionally appealing.
And when you see that this real-deal T/A comes with everything from
a six-pack to a stick shift, you'll realize this is one
irresistible Mopar.
This coupe is out to get all the right attention. Dodge simply
called this color light blue, but Plymouth's description of Ice
Blue really lets you know the cool metallic tones it gives off.
While this is factory-correct, it has been given a professional
respray, and so it has an even brighter shine from the clearcoat
finish. Plus, we know you love the shine that comes from the
mirror-like bumpers, hood pins, and those iconic 15-inch Mopar
Rallye wheels. But the most aggressive elements are in satin black.
The hood treatment highlights the lightweight fiberglass setup and
the massive ram air openings. The complete set of black R/T stripes
accents the curvaceous rear end sheetmetal, and the full rear
spoiler offers a menacing finishing touch. And while a black vinyl
roof is usually reserved for the premium cars, it does a great job
of also adding aggression to this coupe.
While the exterior looks great, don't be too surprised if people
gravitate toward the interior. The factory-correct blue has an
electric-level hue that could have only come from the '70s. It's on
the bucket seats, rear seats, center console, and dash to give this
a standout presentation. And just like the exterior, there's plenty
of tasteful black to keep this from being a blue overload. More
than just an eye-catching color combo, this Challenger goes for
both a premium and a sporty feeling with all the right elements.
For example, the iconic pistol-grip shifter is finished with a wood
handle. This coordinates nicely with the trim on the center
console, doors, and three-spoke sports steering wheel. And while
this Challenger looks like a great time capsule - right down to the
working AM radio - there is one noticeable upgrade. The bright
white VDO tach is vitally important, and so it's centrally mounted
on the steering column.
When you open the hood, you'll see the side callouts aren't lying.
This is powered by a 340 cubic-inch V8 with a triple set of dual
carbs for the ultra-desirable six-pack. There was plenty spent in
the engine bay during restoration as the gloss black elements
funnel all your attention to the Hemi orange block and valve
covers. Plus, the details are there, right down to the correct
diaphragm around the air element for the ram air hood. This is a
period-correct motor, but it's not original to the car. That means
it has taken advantage of everything from a rebuild to more power
from an Edelbrock intake. This big power V8 has a terrific growl
thanks to the AAR-style exhaust that exits right in front of the
rear wheels. And while the sound is amazing, the four-speed manual
transmission ensures that this is a full package that keeps people
intimidated on the streets. But this Mopar is more than just a
stoplight bandit. It's easy to take it out any time thanks to the
power steering and front disc brakes.
Complete with restoration photos, this is the real-deal T/A that
combines great looks and serious power to make for an irresistibly
cool Mopar. So don't take too long admiring this one, or it might
already be gone. Call today!!!
