Posted above just to mention some of the highlights on this Charger for you.
Obviously restored to what you see here today this HEMI as in almost all cases has had a heart transplant, the 'born with' engine has been replaced with a date code correct HEMI that would have and could have come with this car. It has been fitted with many of the correct bolt ons such as Manifolds, Covers, Pans, Accesories, Etc... As mentioned before the Torqueflite Automatic has been replaced by the much more desired 4-Speed HEMI Manual with Pistol Grip Hurst Shifter.
It is believed that 6 FC7 Plum Crazy Chargers were built and out of those this is the only one to have come with the Go Wing in rear making it a One of One R/T HEMI Charger.
- Added Bonus!!! Build Sheet and Galen Report add credibility to this awesome machine.
This is a tough one to beat!
- Charger = Extremely Desirable
- R/T = Up the Ante on Muscle
- Plum Crazy = Very Cool and Rare
- HEMI = The Holy Grail of Mopars
Many pictures have been posted under different lighting and backdrops so that you can get an accurate description of this Charger and form an honest opinion of its pedigree and condition. It is a 1970 vehicle restored years ago and undergone routine maintenance over the years as to ensure drivability and function. IT IS NOT NEW! It's a collector grade / Investment Car that is barely driven and not perfect. Not many are! All the Gauges work, as do the interior lights, and mechanical components. You can drive it anywhere and get there in style not to mention having to keep everyone from swarming your Charger for a closer look.
The information below comes from Conceptcarz for your reading pleasure.
The Dodge Charger was produced from 1966 through 1978, 1983 through 1987, and again beginning in 2006. Since its inception, the impressive performance and stylish bodies made the Charger an instant success. During its introductory year, 37,344 examples were produced.
The Dodge Charger was based on the Dodge Coronet platform, but with a fastback roofline. The headlights were retractable which resulted in a sportier appearance for the vehicle. The interior had four bucket seats with the rear seats able to be folded down that provided ample space for cargo. Under the hood was a 318 cubic-inch eight-cylinder engine that produced 230 horsepower. Optional was the 361 and 426 cubic-inch Hemi, available in various configurations. The 426 Hemi produced 425 horsepower and would set the buyer back $1000, a considerable cost considering the base price was $3122. Only 468 of the Hemi option were purchased over all these years.
The Charger was redesigned in 1970 and became available in new colors. The SE version added leather seats and an electric sliding sunroof. Dodge introduced the 440 Six Pack which featured three Holley two-barrel carburetors and produced 390 horsepower. In total, there were just over 10,300 Chargers sold in 1970 with 42 of those sales including the 440 Six Pack and 116 opting for the Hemi.
