Vehicle Description
All the Mopar fans out there already know what kind of a rare sight
it is to find a 1970 Dodge Challenger convertible. So when there
has been a ton invested to give it the triple-black treatment,
glittering chrome, and a 440 six pack, then you know this is the
ultimate muscle machine.
It's hard not to love one of the most intimidating looking muscle
cars of all time in a shade of black that's shiny enough to be a
mirror. Of course paint is only as good as the sheetmetal
underneath, and it takes a laser straight body like this one
because imperfections can't hide from this slick black. Good gaps
are also essential, and you're looking at a refinished assembly
that's far superior to what the factory had time to achieve. You're
going to want to take a very close look at this dark affair,
because the true passion is in the details. The scooped hood with
hood pins looks aggressive all on its own, but when the sunlight
hit it, there is a burgundy flake set into the raised section that
clues people in that this muscle Mopar is out for blood. And
aggressive shine is the true name of the game for this Challenger.
The mirror-like chrome front bumper is nicely integrated into the
front end that's wide enough to inhale all the lesser cars on the
road. The bright rear bumper tucks in quickly so everyone can see
the quad tail pipes. Plus, we all love the shine from Dodge's
iconic Rallye wheel package.
With the flip of a switch, the electric black folding top reveals a
clean black interior. So yes, the exterior, roof, and interior make
for a true and desirable triple-black package. It's a rare gem that
has plenty of features you'll love, including bucket seats and
center console. This one stays as close to original-style spec as
possible, so the driver-oriented interior still has the correct
heat/defrost controls and AM radio. The woodgrained steering wheel
matches the door panels, console, and dash, and the instrument
panel is full of original gauges including a factory tach, and a
working clock. But more than just looking great, you'll be
pleasantly surprised by the condition of soft parts like the door
panels and dash pad. These details are how you can really tell
there has been a serious investment in creating a cut-above
classic.
While you've already fallen in love/lust with this Mopar, the best
feature is under the hood. You and everyone else will instantly
know that you are looking at the legendary 440 cubic-inch big block
with the three-duce "Six Pack" carbs on top. It looks immaculate in
the engine bay - like it's the spring of 1970 and this droptop just
came off the Hamtramck line. The fantastic presentation is for a
very good reason. We have $7K in receipts just for the engine
rebuild in 2013. So not only does it look fresh, but it also fires
up with the kind of ease that not even new Dodges had back then.
And speaking of firing it up, the Flowmaster stainless dual exhaust
will let everyone know you've got the big one under the hood with
its serious growl. You've got complete control over the V8 thanks
to the thanks to the A727 Torqueflite three-speed automatic
transmission that's stout enough to handle all that power. The same
goes for the rear end that has $3K invested in Moser unit. And with
power steering and front disc brakes, you're looking at a great
vintage cruiser that's been invested in to make sure it's ready
anytime you are.
This is arguably the best year ever for the Challenger, and Dodge
made less than 3,200 (JH27) convertibles. So when you see the tens
of thousands $$$$$ invested you realize just what a rare gem this
is. Plus, with the full paperwork file that includes the owner's
manual, build sheet, and all the restoration receipts, you know
this is the one you'll keep forever. But you're not the only one
with this ultimate Mopar dream. So hurry and call today!
