Vehicle Description
Zoom Classic Cars is proud to present this beautifully restored
1970 Dodge Challenger R/T Coupe. This Challenger was originally
manufactured in Los Angeles, California, and spent the first 18
years of its life in Van Nuys. A change in ownership relocated the
vehicle to Michigan in 1988 when it underwent a frame off
restoration, was sanded down to bare metal and re-painted in a body
shop in Hudsonville, Michigan. All the original body panels are
believed to be on the car with no body filler. The original 383 V-8
motor was rebuilt at this time. While the odometer reads 23,632
(has flipped, so actually 123,632) it is no longer operational. The
vehicle is believed to have less than 3000 miles since the
restoration and engine rebuild. The current owner purchased the car
in 1991 and has driven it sparingly to car shows, and periodic
trips to the gas station. The car has won several car show trophies
over the last 33 years, including at Mopar Nationals. The only
known items to not match the trim tag are the horizontal stripe,
which was originally white, and the interior was originally white,
but during restoration was changed to black. The original 4-barrel
carburetor, 383 motor and 3 speed heavy duty automatic transmission
are believed to be numbers matching. The speedometer, tachometer,
fuel gauge, temperature, clock, oil pressure gauge, and AM radio
all function properly. The J5 Sublime and Limelight Metallic paint
still looks amazing. There are a few minor blemishes in the paint
that are each smaller than a nickel and shown in the photos-one on
the driver's side rear corner, one above the passenger side rear
wheel, and one on the driver's side. Overall, I would still say
8/10 on the paint. While the car is equipped with air conditioning,
it does not work. The vehicle is equipped with power steering, and
the power brakes stop the vehicle as needed. The rear end is 8-�
inch with 323 gears. The original wheels are not on the vehicle,
but the buyer may choose to have either the original wheels, or the
ones seen in the photos on the vehicle. This Challenger runs and
drives as it should with no fluid leaks, and a clean interior. On
the road, this Challenger offers a thrilling driving experience,
with responsive handling, strong braking performance, and a deep,
resonant exhaust note that adds to the overall excitement of
driving this powerful machine. The vehicle is located in Vicksburg,
Michigan and the listing price is $77,000. Contact Tom F.
