Mark's 1970 Challenger RT • The Dodge Challenger Message Board

Hi

Having recently sold my 1973 Cuda which now resides in Germany I was lucky enough to find this car on Ebay jsut at the right time - and only 30 miles away!

After some frantic and nervous bidding I was lucky enough to be the winner and collected her about 10 days ago

So far I am very pleased- Its a 1970 RT and although the fender tag is missing I am 99% sure it is a genuine RT as 2 of the other body stampings are correct and the huge folder of history etc supports everything. - It was subject to a nut & bolt retso about 6 years ago and is still in very good shape- Originally a 383 car it now runs a rebuilt 1970 440 block. Its also a factory 4 speed car whch makes for an interesting drive and is quite hard work in the clutch dept- all great fun tho

Heres some pics and I am looking foward to some decent weather this year so I can get her out and about to some of the events!

Great looking ride. Looks like the only thing to do is DRIVE.................

Well done. A much better investment then a 73 cuda.

Thanks Guys!!

Its a 1969 Colour R4 Rally Red - although can look Orange in certain light!

by **Ade70** » 11 May 2008 21:50

Would that be a Chally color.

by **Newport100** » 12 May 2008 21:34

No ade- Its a 69 only Colour R4 (Plymouth Name is Performance Red)
Nice to see you at Watford last week BTW!!!

by **Ade70** » 13 May 2008 19:50

Hey Mark, I think it looks good in that colour what ever it's number is, do you know if your car is a 69 or 70..........

by **dave-r** » 13 May 2008 20:35

It's definitely a '70 model Ade.

The '69 version didn't look as sharp. :lol:

by **dave-r** » 13 May 2008 20:37

I think what Ade actually means Mark is what is the built date of the car?

by **Jimiboy** » 13 May 2008 22:11

Agree with all the others, your car looks so sweet :thumbsup:

Ahh sorry Ade- I totally missed the point-
Yes Its a 1970 build car!

Hey Mark, was talking to my mate from northampton it was his mate who imported your car, as I had never seen it I did not realise it was the same car...................
