1970 Dodge Challenger, 44,412 Believed Original Miles, Remarkable Survivor, Believed Original Paint & Interior, Pistol Grip 4-Speed Every once in a while, a car comes along that makes even seasoned collectors stop and take a closer look. This 1970 Dodge Challenger is one of those cars. Showing just 44,412 miles, believed to be original, this Challenger is an extraordinary survivor that appears to have escaped the restoration, repainting, and modification that happened to so many of these cars over the past five decades. Mopar experts who have inspected or discussed the car with us have indicated that examples preserved like this have become extremely difficult to find, and several have expressed the opinion that the car may be worth considerably more than our current asking price. What makes this Challenger so special is not what has been changed it is how much appears not to have been changed. The car remained in Kentucky with its original owner until 2019, an exceptional ownership history that helps explain how a 1970 Challenger could remain this intact for so many years. The car is believed to retain its original paint and original interior, presenting today with the character, patina, wear, and authenticity that can only come from an unrestored automobile. You can restore a Challenger many times over, but you only get original paint and original materials once. Finished in factory Code EF8 Dark Green Metallic, the exterior has the unmistakable appearance of an honest survivor. The interior trim code H5F8 denotes the factory Dark Green Cloth and Vinyl Bucket Seat Interior, creating an outstanding period-correct color combination that represents exactly how these cars looked when they were new. Inside, the bucket seat interior and iconic Pistol Grip 4-Speed Shifter immediately remind you that this is a true drivers-era Mopar. Few features are more recognizable or more desirable to muscle-car enthusiasts than Dodges legendary Pistol Grip shifter. According to the previous owner, the engine and transmission are original to the car. Because drivetrain originality and stamping authenticity are extremely important to collectors, we encourage all prospective buyers to independently inspect and verify the engine numbers, transmission numbers, casting dates, stampings, body numbers, and other identification points prior to purchase. Outside of routine maintenance and preservation items, the car is believed to remain extraordinarily original. The known newer items include shocks, battery, and Wide Oval Tires. Beyond those items, the vehicle is represented to us as being largely untouched. That is what makes this Challenger so compelling.
