Vehicle Description
It's hard not to get excited about this 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T
Tribute. After all, it's a beautiful coupe with all the right
sporty touches and a 383 V8 with four-speed from the height of the
muscle car era. And that's before you remember how fewer cars
Chrysler built than it's Big Three counterparts.
The theme of this car is a thoughtful muscle machine. The red paint
has that exceptional high gloss shine that says there was not only
an investment in a professional application, but also the
sheetmeal. These doors close with more authority than ones from the
factory ever could. Just as bold as the red as all the aggressive
black touches such as the matte finish drawing attention to the
scooped hood, the fresh vinyl roof, extra wide rear spoiler, and
the dual side stripes from the '71 package that highlights the
curvy rear fenders. But this is not a completely dark affair. There
are the mirror-like chromed bumpers, full-width taillights that are
bright and clear, and iconic Mag wheels.
Chrysler's black bucket seat interior gets high marks for both
style and comfort, and even today this is a great place to spend
some quality time. The high-back bucket seats have a nice intricate
pattern that is in superior condition thanks to an investment in
new seat covers. The headliner, carpeting, and door panels all have
a similar look of quality from a proper restoration. This is a very
driver-oriented setup with the controls for the heat as well as the
upgraded AM/FM/cassette stereo all within easy reach. The
woodgrained steering wheel matches the dash, doors, and the
desirable center console. And yes, that is the famous pistol grip
stick shift for your right hand to enjoy. The instrument panel is
full of original gauges, including a very useful tach.
When you peek under the hood, you'll find an engine bay filled with
big block Mopar power. The period-correct 383 cubic inch V8 It
inhales deeply through a Carter AFB Competition four-barrel
carburetor, which helps contribute to the wicked snarl of the dual
exhaust. When you pair it with the full control of the four-speed
manual transmission, this total package is a screamer that can be
used to intimidate the rest of the muscle car crowd. And the power
steering, power brakes, and grip of Goodyear Eagle tires all keep
this beast well in-hand.
The total package only has 7,859 miles on it since being restored,
and every picture you see only reinforces the story of this quality
Mopar. So when you can find a muscle car that's rare, fast, and so
well presented as this one, you know you have to act fast to take
it home. Call today!!!
