Vehicle Description
1970 Dodge Challenger 2-Door Hardtop Coupe Plum Crazy Color - Built
360ci V8 w/TorqueFlight 904 - Folder of Documentation (Please note:
If you happen to be viewing this vehicle on a website other than
our main website, it's possible that only some of our many
photographs of this car are presented due to website limitations.
To be sure you access all the photographs, please go to our main
website: Garage Kept Motors.) Garage Kept Motors is excited to
offer this Plum Crazy Mopar for your consideration. Rebuilt with
care by Mopar fanatic and also hiding a healthy V8 engine under the
hood. This is a great example of the car-show/summer drive-in 1970
Challenger. �Still finished in the original color combination of
'Plum Crazy' with yellow stripe...Dodge did it right! The
drivetrain was quite an important component of the rebuild, as our
client bought the car without an engine. �This Challenger
originally left the factory with the optional 'Engine Package'
340ci V8 w/4BBL carb, and optional TorqueFlite transmission. �While
not the original engine under the hood, a great deal of work has
been performed to the powerplant by C-Tech, a local engine shop in
West Michigan. �The result is not only a 360ci V8 (a punched out
318ci V8) nestled in a tidy engine bay, but a baseline dyno of 341
horsepower was achieved after initial assembly. The transmission is
a TorqueFlite 904, with a nicely appointed B&M shifter. Our
client's aim was to build a reliable, streetable drivetrain with
plenty of power on tap when you put your foot down. We'd say that
he's achieved just that, and in a stunning body. This car also
features power steering and upgraded power brakes (discs up front)
- it was originally optioned with HD Drum brakes as part of the
Challenger Performance Package (Code A66). The interior is
impeccable. �Hop in, and if you're quiet enough, the first thing
you will hear is the clock running. �Wood trim surrounds the 5
round gauges, and switches on the Rally dash. The optional Rally
dash on this car included electric clock, 8k tachometer, and 150mph
speedometer. Other original interior options include power windows,
Music Master radio, and electric rear window defroster. Everything
inside the car looks as new, and will take you back to the great
muscle car era of the early-70's. When in the driver's seat you'll
feel as though you should be wearing some polyester pants and
platform shoes, but we'll let you decide the attire. Regardless of
your getup, we guarantee you'll enjoy the point at which you turn
the key and the 360ci V8 jumps to life. � This Challenger left the
Hamtramck assembly plant finished in a very unique exterior color
combination that includes the Plum Crazy (C7) paint color with a
bumblebee rear stripe in Yellow (V9Y). Mounted on each end of the
car are re-chromed bumpers, and mounted above the rear bumper are
re-chromed tail light bezels. During the rebuild, the only sheet
metal replaced was the rear quarter panels. Once satisfied with the
body, our client had the car repainted in the original Plum Crazy
with Yellow 'bumblebee stripe'. Other exterior touches are cowled
hood (part of the Performance Package), dual exhaust with chrome
exhaust tips, and optional chrome racing mirror. This Plum Crazy
Challenger demands attention. Such a great color for an awesome
Mopar muscle car! Included with the sale is an article featuring
this car at an auto detailing convention, a handful of receipts and
records, and a copy of the original window sticker, which indicates
the car was delivered new to Courtesy Dodge, which is just down the
road from our showroom. Born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
