1970 Challenger T/A For Sale- Mopar Nationals 1st Place Award
Winner, Fully Documented LMC is very proud to offer for sale this
prized 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A With the introduction of the new
Challenger in 1970, Dodge had finally entered in the pony car
market. The new Challenger gave Dodge the opportunity to enter a
new platform in the SCCA Trans-Am series which was being dominated
by General Motors and Ford. The Trans-Am racing series focused on
factory pony cars racing on road courses which quickly gained steam
in 1967, when the Mustang and A-body Barracuda suddenly had
competition from GM with the Camaro and Firebird. Add to the fact
that some of the greatest drivers of the era like Gurney, Foyt,
Donohue, Savage, Follmer, Posey and Parnelli Jones, and you've got
a race series worth watching. The 1970 Dodge Challenger was unique
from its competitors in the marketplace. It was offered in every
class of trim, with every engine package Mopar offered from the
basic 6-cylinder coupe to the highly optioned R/T-SE Hemi. Out of
all the available packages, the limited-edition T/A was the one to
have if you preferred handling to just straight-line performance.
The T/A option package mandated some special pieces that would help
the Challenger compete in the Trans Am series. The T/A was powered
by a 340 cubic inch Six Pack which boasted 290 hp backed by 4 speed
transmission and Hurst Pistol Grip shifter. Under code A53, T/A
Challengers also received a scooped fiberglass hood, a decklid rear
spoiler, front chin spoilers, heavy handling-oriented suspension
changes similar to what Hemi models received and special graphics.
These cars also were exclusively optioned with 15-inch wheels with
two tire sizes (Goodyear Polyglas E60-15 front and G60-15 rear),
mandating the Hemi-type front fenders and a special rear-mounted
radio antenna. This particular 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A is
equipped with a numbers matching 340 TA six-pack engine and a
numbers matching 4 speed pistol grip transmission. This is an
ultra-rare combination of EW1 white exterior complimented by an
unusual B-5 blue interior. It is believed to be one of only 3 white
cars built with the B-5 blue interior. As well this is also an
original rear window louver optioned car which is very rare in
itself. It has undergone a complete rotisserie restoration to OEM
specifications using NOS and date coded parts where required. Not
only are they pre restoration pictures but also of the whole
restoration process. It documents with pictures throughout every
stage of the restoration to show the quality workmanship. It has
also been documented in the Challenger T/A registry and has a
documented owner's history. This T/A has extensive paperwork that
includes: Ownership History, copies of old titles, period pictures
of the car, Restoration Documents, Original Decals,
Repair/Restoration Invoices, Mopar National's Judging Sheets,
Owner's Manual, Factory Broadcast Sheet plus much more. This car's
extensive paperwork and restoration has lead it to win 1 st place
at the Mopar Nationals judging event. This is a very rare American
icon, with it being likely 1 of only 3 produced in this
combination. With its extensive paperwork and concours level
restoration, this Challenger is a collector grade investment. Being
a numbers matching drivetrain and a unique color combination, this
Challenger T/A is the perfect car for the Mopar enthusiast who can
appreciate the rarity and collectability of such a car. This
