Through the years of fans and enthusiasts, certain automotive
terminology tends to build its own appeal. For example, in most
gearheads' minds the term "Plum Crazy" recalls one of Chrysler's
most creative and confident eras. "R/T", short for Road/Track,
invokes visions of muscle cars prowling small town streets. "Dana
60" or "Scat Pak" incites visions of late-night stoplight brawls
and octane-fueled quarter-miles. And who could forget "Hemi", the
incredible V8 that led Chrysler through an era of epic performance.
If you are looking for first class Mopar muscle then look no
further than this 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 440 Six Pack car
sporting the iconic Plum Crazy purple paint on the exterior with
black vinyl top. Being 1 of only 847 Challengers in 1970 to have
the 440 Six Pack mated to a 4 speed manual adds even more
excitement to owning this classic piece of American muscle. Given
its resurgence in popularity, no doubt aided by the current
LC-based version, the Challenger is considered by some to be the
quintessential American muscle car: a status that naturally invokes
an aggressive and exciting aesthetic. At the front of this
Challenger, a 1970-exclusive grille hangs an unmistakable
"Challenger R/T" badge between pristine headlights, amber parking
lamps and a mirrored bumper. Behind that grille, a pinned,
Hemi-branded hood props bold "D O D G E" lettering in front of
clean glass that is framed in correct stainless and capped by
correct vinyl. At the sides of that hood, a sculpted profile hangs
correct R/T stripes amid fresh rocker trim, flush door handles, a
correct mirror and ornate ""Challenger"" scripts. And at the back
of the car, a stainless-trimmed valence centers body-width
taillights and more ""D O D G E"" lettering between a second
""Challenger R/T"" badge, a second mirrored bumper and correct,
quad-outlet exhaust tips. Open this coupe's light hood and you'll
find the legendary, 440 cubic inch Hemi that, while not original to
the car, is a date-correct piece that has been professionally
rebuilt and maintained to keep it's nostaligic looks and
performance. All of the 390 horses reside in a glossy Hemi Orange
block. And exhaust is handled by correct, low-restriction exhaust
manifolds that feed an H-shaped crossover. Slide under this
spotless E-Body and you'll find a solid chassis that's ready for
the turntable. Satin Black paint highlights exceptionally clean
floors that have been finished to better-than-new condition. Behind
the Hemi, lives the original 4 speed manual transmission to the car
that is tight and shifts like new. Helping transfer all of this
excitement to the pavement are is the factory Dana rear end that
houses a set of 3.54 gears. Stops come courtesy of correct power
front disc and rear drum brakes. And all this Mopar goodness rolls
on stylish Rallye Wheels, which twist radial tires with raised
white lettering around polished trim rings and silver center caps.
Peak your head in the window of this car and you'll find a correct
Black interior that's functional, straightforward and very
comfortable. The front bucket and rear bench seats are wrapped in
pliable vinyl covers that display hardly any signs of wear. Below
those seats, stain-free carpet floats Challenger-themed mats at the
sides of a correct, wood-trimmed console and cool Pistol Grip
Shifter. The wood-trimmed dash seats correct Rallye gauges and has
been painstakingly restored to its original glory. In front of the
driver, a correct steering wheel mixes subtle form with major
function. And behind the passengers, a nicely finished trunk
centers a correct jack and space saver spare tire between a correct
mat and new decklid decal. You can view this 1970 Dodge Challenger
