1970 Dodge -

In 1970, Dodge introduced what would be perhaps their most iconic and desired Muscle Car, the Challenger. Although built on the same platform as its also very sought after sibling from Plymouth, the Barracuda, the cars actually share very few body components but have similar body lines and style. What would a MOPAR muscle car be without their legendary drivetrains? All were present and accounted for on the Challenger order form from the 383 & 440 Magnums to the 440 6 pack and, of course, the vaunted 426 street HEMI.

This 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T HEMI was ordered by Crenshaw Dodge, Los Angeles, CA and was built in Hamtramck, MI with a scheduled production date of Saturday, November 15^th, 1969. It is one of only 137 hardtops produced with a 426 HEMI engine and 4 speed transmission combination. The optional 3.54 ratio Dana rear end included in the A33 track pak also adds to its desirability. Finished in its factory colour of TX9 Black with high grade trim, this car features a long list of desirable options such as driver’s side remote mirror, dual chrome mirrors, hood pins and factory stripe delete. The matching black interior also features wood grain trim, front buckets seats, noise reduction package, rally instrument cluster, multiplex AM/FM radio and a rear speaker. Having benefitted from a complete nut and bolt rotisserie restoration, this numbers matching Challenger is an exceptional example. The car has a copy of the broadcast sheet, was decoded by Galen’s Tag Service and had been collector owned and maintained since the restoration. One of the most sought after muscle cars of all time, this Challenger R/T represents an incredible opportunity for the discerning collector to obtain as the Chrysler Registry (as of September 1998) has stated it is #27 of 86 known to exist. A very rare Hemi Challenger tics off all the boxes: factory black on black, 4 speed Hurst Pistol Grip, Hemi California car with its unique options, numbers matching and documented!
