The 1970 model year marked the debut of Dodge's E-body Challenger, and the R/T sat firmly at the performance end of the lineup. With its long hood, short rear deck, aggressive grille treatment, and muscular proportions, the original Challenger remains one of the defining designs of the muscle-car era. This example enhances that formula with the drivetrain, appearance equipment, and documentation serious Mopar enthusiasts look for. 383 Magnum & Pistol Grip 4-Speed Under the hood is the 383-cubic-inch Magnum V8, factory rated at 330 horsepower. The big-block 383 provides the torque-rich personality that made Mopar's Magnum engines such formidable street performers. Backing the V8 is arguably one of the most desirable components in any classic Mopar: the Pistol Grip 4-speed manual transmission. Few controls are as instantly associated with the muscle-car era as Chrysler's iconic Pistol Grip shifter, and its presence makes this Challenger considerably more engaging from behind the wheel. Power is transferred through an 8¾-inch performance rear axle equipped with 3.55 gearing, a well-balanced ratio for strong acceleration while retaining usable road manners. Performance & Drivability The car is equipped with power steering and front disc brakes, providing welcome assistance while preserving the analog character expected from a classic R/T. An aluminum radiator has been installed to improve cooling capacity, while the exhaust system utilizes dual Flowmaster mufflers terminating through proper R/T-style exhaust tips. The result should provide the deep, unmistakable big-block Mopar soundtrack expected from a 383-powered Challenger. FE5 Rally Red Exterior Finished in FE5 Bright Red, also known as Rally Red, the exterior presents one of the quintessential colors available on a 1970 Challenger. The bright red bodywork is complemented by several important performance-oriented details, including a rear Go-Wing and factory hood pins. Those details are particularly well suited to the R/T's aggressive profile and give the car the visual attitude expected from Dodge's premier performance trim. The factory-inspired appearance is finished with 17-inch polished Magnum 500-style wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich performance tires. The larger-diameter wheels retain classic Mopar styling while giving the Challenger a more planted and contemporary stance. Interior Inside, this R/T retains the classic performance-oriented arrangement of bucket seats and a center console, with the Pistol Grip shifter positioned prominently between the seats. A remote driver's sport mirror adds another period-correct detail, while an aftermarket stereo system provides a modern convenience without changing the overall character of the car. The combination of bucket seats, console, four-speed transmission, and big-blo
