About this vehicle
1970 Dodge Challenger with a Six Pack induction system and a shiny set of 15” rally wheels epitomizes the spirit of the muscle car era-and while this convertible example wasn't born with the six-barrel engine, it represents the sort of performance upgrades enthusiasts continued to make on the cars throughout the Seventies and Eighties. It's a driver, too, according to the seller, who adds it "runs and drives very well." The car is also said to be "free of known rust" and wears a color change to Go Mango, which was one of Chrysler's "High Impact" colors.Vehicle Details
POWERTRAIN
The seller says this Challenger was originally equipped with a 318 engine, but now is powered by a 340-cu.in. OHV V8 topped by the triple-carb Six Pack induction system. It also reportedly has a Crane Cams camshaft, Hooker headers, electronic ignition, and MSD box. "It starts right up," says the seller, who adds that there are no leaks or smoke from the engine. It's paired with a 727 TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission that is said to "shift great," sending the engine's output to an
8.75-inch rear axle with highway-friendly 2.76 gears.
EXTERIOR
Originally Burnt Orange, this Challenger now wears
Go Mango paint from 2006 that is reportedly in good condition, with a few swirl marks in the finish but no other reported blemishes. The car also wears a Rallye hood and valance, along with a Go Wing. Additionally, the seller notes there's
"no known rust" or previous rust repairs, but he re-welded the floor and sealed it with 3M undercoating. The glass is also said to be in good condition, along with the seals. There are no noted issues with the exterior lighting. The convertible top is also said to be in good condition, with no reported leaks, but one of the alignment pins is missing.
INTERIOR
The white vinyl interior of this Challenger appears in very good condition, according to the seller, with a bit of wear in spots. There are no reported holes or rips in the seat covers and the seller says he replaced the carpet in 2020. It still looks very good. The door panels, center console, and dash pad also appear in good condition, with a few visible scuffs in the door panels. Additionally, the seller notes the original instrument panel was replaced with an aftermarket Rallye panel with white-face gauges. The in-dash electric oil pressure gauge reportedly reads high, but there's also an aftermarket mechanical gauge. The ammeter reportedly does not work. The car also has an aftermarket radio.
CHASSIS
According to the seller, the chassis, suspension, and brakes are in good condition, with no known issues or needs. The only significant upgrade from the stock suspension setup is the addition of a front stabilizer bar. "The car drives straight down the road" says the seller, adding the famous Mopar "one-finger" power steering system does not leak. The shocks have been replaced, but the bushings are said to look original. The car has power front disc brakes and rear drums. It rolls on New Cooper Cobra radial tires.
