1970 Dodge Challenger

INTRODUCTION: 1 of just 963 R/T convertibles built! Original purple 383 car, it's been taken to the next level with a ground-up restoration and upgraded with a correct 440 Six-Pack- now delivering the look and performance most buyers want! EXTERIOR: Right from the start, it's an extremely rare R/T convertible and what really pushes this one over the top is the factory Plum Crazy Purple finish! Paired with black hood and side stripes, it is an absolute head turner everywhere it goes. The body is straight and smooth from front to back right down to the rockers, with very nice panel fit throughout. The paint is laid out beautifully and polished to a deep, high gloss finish. All of the chrome and trim presents bright and clean. It features hood pins, the correct antenna, and the iconic pop up racing gas cap. The glass appears to be original. The power convertible top is in excellent shape and includes a glass rear window. It's sitting proudly on a set of 15-inch Rallye wheels wrapped with reproduction Goodyear Polyglas tires, giving it the perfect period-correct stance. INTERIOR: Inside it has a very honest, well preserved appearance. The carpet has been replaced and fits nicely, while the seats have been reupholstered and look fresh. It still has its original dash pad, which is a big plus in my opinion because the VIN tag has never been disturbed. There are a couple minor cracks near the speaker corners, but overall it presents very well. It's equipped with the desirable Rallye dash with full gauge package, including the factory tachometer. The original AM radio is still in place, and the center console is in very nice shape with its iconic Slap Stik shifter. The plastic door panels are in good condition and the rear panels do have a pair of vintage Jensen speakers. It also has a full set of seat belts, and the interior light is working. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The engine bay was stripped, detailed, and refinished in the car's beautiful Plum Crazy Purple paint, making for an impressive presentation when the hood is lifted. Originally born with a 383, it has since been upgraded to a date correct 440 topped with a factory Six Pack setup. The engine compartment keeps a very stock appearance with correct style valve covers, exhaust manifolds, Edelbrock intake, Holley carbs, and factory air cleaner. At the front of the motor, the pulleys, brackets, alternator, and power steering system are all clean and properly detailed. It also features power brakes, making this big block convertible far more enjoyable to drive. The compartment is finished off very well with proper hoses and wiring routing, both horns in place, Mopar washer bottle, correct fan shroud, and even a Mopar battery topper for the right vintage appearance. Adding to its authenticity, the hidden VIN stampings on the core support and cowl match the car, and the original fender tag is still in place. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is just as impressive as the rest of the car. Under the trunk lid, the jamb, and the entire compartment are all finished in vibrant purple paint. Inside is clean, solid metal, detailed with factory style stickers, a new weatherstrip, a trunk mat, and complete jack and spare assembly. UNDERSIDE: It is very well sorted and presented exceptionally clean. The steering and suspension appear to be in great shape, featuring sway bars front and rear for improved handling. The steering gearbox was just replaced, and a fresh front end alignment was recently completed. The brake system functions properly with disc brakes up front, drums in back, and the e-brake assembly hooked up and working as it should. It has a fresh dual exhaust system with correct tube-style mufflers and square tips exiting through the valance for that unmistakable Mopar look. The fuel tank has been replaced as well. Looking up at the motor, everything is clean and tidy, including a fresh looking starter. The 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission looks clean, shifts properly, and recen
