1970 Dodge Charger R/T – Numbers Matching Plumb Crazy with a 440 6 Pack
This car has had a complete rotisserie frame off, every nut and bolt restoration that was restored back to original factory condition. The restoration was completed in October of last year and has been driven less than 100 miles since the restoration.
This car has 47,741 all original miles. I am the 2nd owner and have had the car for 20 years.
It is one of only 169 of the Plumb Crazy cars that had the black Performance Hood Paint Treatment and one of only 1199 that were FC7 Plum Crazy. Most 70 Chargers came with a vinyl roof so to have no vinyl roof is more rare. There are only 29 1970 Chargers registered with the Dodge Charge Registry with FC7 paint and no vinyl roof.
It is an absolutely stunning car – the pictures do not do it justice!

The final number on the bottom line is the build sequence number at the St. Louis plant. The plant started the 1970 model year with sequence number 100001 and worked up from there. One must remember that the St. Louis plant made other models as well, not just Chargers so the sequence number is assigned to each car as it moved in order through the assembly plant. If your sequence number is 102410 that does not mean your Charger was the 2,410th Charger built, but rather your car was the 2,410th car (all models) built at the plant.
