1970 Dodge Challenger on 2040-cars

Here is a 1970 Dodge Challenger with its original matching numbers 318 V8 engine and matching 3-speed manual transmission on the floor. It is F8 dark green with green interior, and originally had a white vinyl top. The car has power steering, manual drum brakes, music master am radio, fender mounted turn indicators, console option, and six-way seat adjuster. The car is about 97% complete and includes some extra parts (missing some trim and air cleaner), and it has a Connecticut title, fender tag, door decal, dash VIN, and radiator stamping that all match. The car is ready for a full restoration back to original, or a great candidate for a T/A or RT clone. The car has been stored many years and does not run, so the buyer will need to make arrangements to have the car transported. Here are some more details on the car to go with the photos. PLEASE BE ADVISED VEHICLE NEEDS A COMPLETE RESTORATION INCLUDIBNG RUST REPAIR, VEHICLE DOES NOT RUN.

The frame: the frame overall all is quite solid, with three small areas that I noticed that have some rust. First is a spot on the top of the frame rail just below the battery tray(common spot), second is a spot on the passenger side frame extension, and the third is a spot in the bend of the frame by the left rear tire. (see pics that correspond with these areas) The trunk floor needs replacement but frame underneath looks pretty good.

Body: The body needs a full restoration. All the panels look original with probably a repaint at some point.  Because of the vinyl top there is rust in the front pillars and a hole on the rear passenger side of the roof. The filler panel behind the vinyl top trim looks good though. Fortunately there are roof repairs panels available now. The drivers inner front fender (affects battery tray, hood hinge, etc) needs to be replaced. The front floorpans have surface rust but no holes, and the drivers side rear floorpan does have rust  through and affects the inner rocker on that side.  The grill is in excellent shape, the firewall is solid, and the bumpers are pretty solid too. The original doors on the car are in decent shape. The hood and trunk lid are rough underneath, but I do have a bunch of extra used body parts that go with the car if the buyer wants them, including an extra trunk lid, front valence, rear valence for dual exhaust, two front fenders, and two extra doors)

Interior: All the original seats and panels appear to be in the car, except for the carpet and headliner material. (the bows are still in place) The dash has some cracks in it, the glass is all there, original 3-speed console is in there too. The 6-way seat adjuster is still in place under the drivers seat. Obviously the interior needs to be restored as well. Sometime in the 70’s someone added a pioneer 8-track player under the dash and I still have it!

Drivetrain: The numbers matching engine and transmission are still in the car. The only modifications that were made were a 4-barrel intake and carb were added, plus and exhaust system with headers. The car hasn’t been run in many years so its safe to assume that they will need a rebuild. I was told the rear end is 8 3/4 . The car originally had steel wheels but now has a set of 14” rally wheels.

The buyer will get the CT title plus a bill of sale with purchase.
