Dodge Challenger RT – Factory Original Number Matching 440 Magnum “U” Code
You are viewing a rotisserie restored 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T.
Original number matching 440 Magnum engine, original data tag, dash ID VIN and
drivers door VIN tags. Extreme attention to detail was taken to completely
restore this awesome Challenger to original factory assembly line
specifications. Overall restoration costs exceeded $80, 000.
The 1970 Challenger R/T 440 Magnum “U Code” option was an upgrade from the
standard 383 motor commonly found in many 1970 RT's. The big block 440 AVS
four-barrel engine was relatively easy for the average home garage mechanic to
dial in for street and even an occasion run at the local drag strip. Even back
in 1970 this factory “Go Mango” Challenger was a rare car with only 970 JS23
vehicles produced. Most Go Mango cars came from the factory with the black
vinyl top and interior combination. This Challenger is the epitome of what was
Hip in 1970. Driven less than 150 miles since complete
restoration.
This is a rare car in pristine condition and would make an exceptional
investment that you can also drive and enjoy. Don’t miss out on a unique
opportunity to own this vintage, big block Challenger RT!!

PRIMARY
USE -
Street driven show car.
CONDITION
GRADE
- Excellent - 95% of new condition. Shows virtually no
wear, paint and bright-work are perfect.
FACTORY
ORIGINALITY -
Pure factory stock appearance - A restored car in
factory condition where the equipment of the vehicle match the VIN
and documentation description. The restoration process included a mix
of original re-built, NOS and reproduction parts. The car will
appear stock in a broad sense, attention to the finer factory details
are not adhered to.
EXTERIOR
-
Overall, the paint quality is excellent. Overall panel fit and
finish is about as perfect as it can be for a 1970 Chrysler vehicle.
There is no evidence of rust or damage repair to the sheet-metal
panels or frame. The DODGE hood letters are included but not installed.
INTERIOR
-
The H6XW white interior is perfect condition. Dash pad, door panels, headliner and seat covers were replaced with Year
One/Legendary components. Dash gauges were restored and re-colored
and look like new. All glass
including the windshield is good. The factory installed AC
works (blows cool but could likely use a freon charge due to winter
storage). The special Challenger upper interior door wood grain insert panels are include but not installed. If you are looking for a time capsule to take you
back to 1970, just sit in the driver's seat.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT -
Engine
and all additional components look just like it did back when the car
was on the Dodge showroom floor in 1970.
CHASSIS -
Undercarriage
is perfect. Factory simulated undercoating was applied during the
restoration process. Exhaust system is perfect. The trunk floor is
perfect. The original factory supplied jack assembly and space saver spare
tire and rim are included. Both jack, rim are in excellent original
condition. The tire appears to be original 1970 vintage.
NUMBER MATCHING -
The engine, transmission and body numbers all match the car's VIN.
VALUE -
