For Sale: 1970 Dodge Challenger in Newfield, New Jersey

Vehicle Description

For the true muscle car enthusiast, there is no greater thrill than the roar of an engine, the feel of power at your fingertips, and the rush of adrenaline as you push a classic machine to its limits. The 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A embodies all of these qualities and more-a genuine piece of automotive history. With only 2,400 units ever produced for the USA under the special Option A53, this Challenger T/A stands out as a rare gem, designed specifically for the SCCA Trans Am races to demonstrate Dodge's prowess on the track.

This particular Challenger T/A, listed in the Chrysler Registry since 2004 with the VIN JH23J0B304184, carries a pedigree that few other muscle cars can match. Included are two original production broadcast sheets, offering a unique window into its origin and manufacturing details. The fender tag, meticulously decoded by Galen V. Govier, further verifies its authenticity, while its numbers-matching credentials speak volumes about its originality and value.

Under the hood, you'll find the legendary 340 J Code engine, enhanced with the coveted 3-2bbl Six Pack Option (E55). This powerplant is not only numbers-matching, but it also includes a factory Edelbrock Six Pack aluminum intake manifold, painted to match the engine color-an element that emphasizes both performance and attention to detail. Mated to this engine is the original 727 Torqueflite automatic transmission (Option D32), providing a smooth yet thrilling driving experience that only a true American muscle car can deliver.

This car is not just a testament to raw power; it's also a masterpiece of restoration and preservation. It underwent a rotisserie restoration before the previous ownership in 2004, ensuring that every inch of this vehicle is in immaculate condition. Originating from California, this Challenger T/A still bears its original title and comes with a copy of that document, verifying its provenance and journey over the decades. The evaporative emission control system (Option N95), required in California, adds to its uniqueness, showcasing an original vertical pump configuration that collectors will appreciate.

Aesthetic perfection is another hallmark of this 1970 Challenger T/A. It retains all original factory color codes, with an exterior paint code of FK5, a striking Dark Burnt Orange that commands attention on the road. The interior, coded K4, complements the exterior with its equally captivating Burnt Orange finish. Adding to its distinctive look is a white vinyl top (Option V1W), which contrasts beautifully against the rich body color. This car also features a functional fresh air fiberglass hood (Option N94), equipped with hood pins (Option N44) for an aggressive, race-ready appearance. The ducktail rear spoiler (Option J82) and side exhaust (Option N44) further amplify its Trans Am racing heritage.

This particular Challenger T/A was produced on Friday, April 10th, 1970, and sold new in California-a fact documented by its accompanying paperwork, broadcast sheets, and other supporting documents. While the original radiator support had rust along the left side, it has been replaced with an original stamped rad support that comes included with the car, ensuring that no detail has been overlooked in maintaining its integrity.

This 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A is not just a car; it is a living piece of history, a true collector's item that tells the story of a bygone era when muscle cars ruled the streets and tracks. It's a rare opportunity to own a piece of American automotive legend-one that demands to be seen, experienced, and cherished by those who understand and appreciate its significance. Do not miss your chance to own this unique and beautifully preserved example of Dodge's racing legacy-a true must-see for any serious collector.
