1970 Dodge Challenger R/T

A Shaker rising through a black hood, a pistol-grip 4-speed and a drop-top. This 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T Convertible brings together some of Mopar's most compelling ingredients, backed by a numbers-matching 383ci V8 and factory A31 High Performance Axle Package. Originally finished in Dark Green Metallic over a green interior with a white convertible top, the Dodge now wears a triple-black combination accented by a white R/T stripe. Ownership history, build receipts and a reproduction window sticker accompany the car. The black finish emphasizes the Challenger's long hood, sculpted flanks and broad rear quarters, while the white longitudinal stripe follows the body's upper contours and incorporates R/T identification. The convertible is reported to retain its original sheet metal following a West Coast history. An added Shaker hood assembly brings a silver scoop through the hood, complemented by hood pins and 383 Magnum identification. Chrome bumpers, bright wheel-opening moldings and polished windshield trim frame the dark finish, while quad headlights and Challenger R/T grille badging preserve the familiar front-end treatment. A black power-operated convertible top completes the triple-black presentation, and 15" wheels wear BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. Beneath the Shaker assembly, the numbers-matching 383ci V8 breathes through a four-barrel carburetor. The big-block retains a factory-style presentation with orange-painted engine surfaces and a black engine compartment. A numbers-matching A833 4-speed manual transmission puts the driver in control, sending power to an 8 3/4" rear axle equipped with 3.91 gears and a Sure-Grip differential. The fender tag identifies the factory A31 High Performance Axle Package, supporting the Challenger's original performance-oriented configuration. The dual exhaust delivers a throaty rumble, while factory-style suspension, power steering and power brakes with front discs round out the mechanical equipment. Inside, black vinyl bucket seats feature pleated inserts, accompanied by correct door panels, black carpeting and a rear bench. Woodgrain accents across the instrument panel, console and door panels provide contrast, joined by a wood-rim steering wheel. The Rallye instrument cluster includes a tachometer, placing the engine's vitals directly in the driver's view with an AutoMeter tachometer mounted below. Between the seats, the woodgrain-trimmed console surrounds the pistol-grip shifter, one of the defining details of a 4-speed Mopar cockpit. A factory-appearing digital AM/FM stereo adds Bluetooth connectivity while maintaining the dashboard's period character. There's plenty of appeal in a big-block Challenger, but a factory R/T convertible with a 4-speed makes the driver's seat especially inviting. Lower the top, grab the pistol grip and let the gnarly exhaust note set the tone for the drive ahead. This Dodge makes a strong case for taking the long way home.
