Vehicle Description
Fresh off a thorough and exacting rebuild, this 1970 Dodge
Challenger R/T Tribute will turn heads and draw a lot of admiring
nods as it cruises the boulevard. Looking way beyond great, this
road-ready muscle car is primed to begin its next chapter of life
and take its next lucky owner on miles and miles of motoring
adventures.
Sporting an exceptionally sharp Hemi Orange Flake paint job really
accentuates the angular athleticism of its exterior, this is one
truly impressive looking Challenger. Its nostalgic, yet
awe-inspiring appearance really holds up over time - it's certainly
no accident that '70s- era Challengers have been featured in movies
for decades, ranging from "Vanishing Point" to "The Fast and the
Furious." That stare-inducing orange paint job is accented by a
black vinyl roof with a very new look that shows no sun damage at
all, as well as a fiberglass spoiler and metal rear window louvres
are equally fresh. Up front, the deep black shaker-style hood scoop
hints at the power that lies underneath and the condition of the
chrome bumpers and trim is pretty noteworthy, as well - everything
appears nice and straight. Step around to either side and you'll
also notice that the body panels have been very well-fitted. In
back you'll see that those extra wide taillights and Dodge
lettering that runs between them are crystal clear and sit above a
set of very cool quad exhaust tips peering out from below.
Open a door and glance inside and you'll see an equally impressive
looking interior. Decked out in black vinyl, the high-backed bucket
seats in front and bench seat in back have a definite newness to
them, as do the door panels. Newness clearly has its advantages.
Sitting between the bucket seats on an equally new-looking center
console is a pistol grip shifter that ratchets up the coolness
factor of this muscle car even further, and below that runs an
expanse of new black carpeting. Just beyond the custom steering
wheel is a full complement of very distinctive gauges that sport
parchment colored faces and clear lenses and sit against a wood
patterned dash, their font perfectly in keeping with the era of
this seriously awesome ride. Just to the right of the gauges, a
Sony AM/FM/CD stereo stands at the ready to provide your audio
options. Occupants will ride in comfort, as the A/C system is
blowing cold and forcefully through the well-placed registers up
front.
Underneath that long hood with its shaker scoop sits the most
coveted powerplant among vintage Dodge enthusiasts, the iconic 440
cubic inch V8. Topped with a 4-barrel carb, it replaces the
6-cylinder engine this Dodge first started with and supplies
literally multiples the power. It's running great, firing right up,
idling smoothly and emitting a nice throaty rumble through a dual
exhaust. The Torqueflit A727 3 Speed automatic transmission it's
paired with is well-regarded for both its power-handling capability
and ruggedness, so it's a fitting companion for this big block
engine. Occupying front and center in the clean-looking, flat black
confines of the engine compartment is an amply sized aluminum
radiator to keep temperatures in check. In addition to its
admirable power, this is one muscle car that's also an easy driver,
equipped with power steering and power brakes at all four corners,
with discs up front. This Mopar classic rests on a set of 14" stock
rims, wrapped in Goodrich T/A radials.
