Restored 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T
I have enjoyed my 5 year restoration of this beautiful classic car – similar to the one I had as a kid.
Purchased in 2013 with 105K miles, non-running and needing full resto I have since put in countless hours and over $50K into this project. Now complete and approaching 2K enjoyable miles on the rebuild it’s ready for a new owner and I’m onto my next project.
Details;
1970 Dodge Challenger R/T with professionally rebuilt (030 bored + mild cam) 383 Magnum V8 engine, Holley 4160 4 barrel carb, 4 speed manual transmission with Hurst pistol grip.
Manual steering, power disc brakes, bucket seats, rally gauges, factory tachometer, custom paint, no A/C but heater core is new and heat works great, 17X7 anthracite aluminum wheels with 215/50R17s front and 235/60R17s on rear. Most every component has been purchased new or rebuilt + zero rust and all new welded floorpans.

· Grill assembly has a slight indentation on the lower flat surface.
