1970 Dodge Challenger R/t Convertible on 2040-cars
New Baltimore, Michigan, United States
Up for auction is one of the most nicely restored 1970 Dodge
Challenger R/T convertibles in existence. It
was restored professionally to factory specs.
The way you see it is the way it rolled off the assembly line back in
January 1970. It has its numbers
matching 383 engine which was restored to factory specs and ran on a dyno
before installed. The transmission was completely
torn down, detailed and completely rebuilt to factory specs. The 8 3/4 rear end was also torn down and
rebuilt. The housing was chemically
dipped to remove all of the junk in the housing. The center section was cleaned, detailed and completely
rebuilt with new clutches and bearings. The interior has been completely restored. The seat frames were media blasted and
painted. Then new seat foams and covers
were installed. The gauge cluster was completely
restored by Auto Instruments. The door
and rear interior panels were recovered by Just Dashes as well as the dash
pad. The heater control panel is new so
it has the correct chrome detail vs. the silver paint pen most use. The radio is a new reproduction that looks
original on the outside (also with the correct chrome detail) but is new on the
inside with IPOD and blue tooth capabilities.
All of the seat belts are new as well as the correct consol. The dash frame and steering column were
painted with NOS correct suede paint. All of the convertible top components are new including:
power top pump, both cylinders, and all of the plastic lines. Top was professionally installed and looks
great. The frame was media blasted and
repainted the correct shade of satin black.
Correct new satin chrome latched and receivers were installed. The front suspension was completely detailed using cosmoline
on the upper and lower control arms. All
front suspension parts were detailed and coated with RPM (rust preventative
magic sold by ECS Automotive). The exhaust was purchased from Accurate Exhaust. It is one step louder than factory and has a
perfect tone for a convertible. The engine compartment is completely detailed with the
correct radiator restored by Ray’s Radiator and a date coded carbureted restored
by Scott Smith (Harms Auto). I can write a book on this car. To sum it up everything on this car was
touched CORRECTLY. What needed to be
plated was plated correctly, not sprayed with metal color aerosol paint cans. We only use the best vendors on our restorations. This car was not built with the intensions of
selling it. This is an investment piece
that just happens to be but on the market for personal reasons. This is not a car that has been put back
together with old repainted cleaned up parts.
Everything on this car was restored to new condition or replaced with
new quality reproduction parts. We only restore Mopar’s.
It is what we specialize in and all we do. This is a gorgeous car and we guarantee you
will be happy with it. You can see 271
pictures of this Challenger on our site afterhoursrestorations.com. We are only interested in positive transactions. If for any reason you are not happy with this
car at time of pick up the sale will be void and all funds will be returned no
questions asked. Feel free to have the car inspected. The car is on a platform hoist so it can be
inspected front to back, inside and out. Seller reserves the right to end auction early because car is for sale locally. Please ask questions. 271 pictures of this Challenger can be seen on our web site www.afterhoursrestorations.com.

As Dodge Challenger changes, hybrid or however else, it's sure to stay retro
Thu, Aug 15 2019Unverified rumors claim Dodge will make major technical changes to the Charger and the Challenger (pictured) to comply with looming regulations. They'll likely be lighter than they currently are, they could get smaller in nearly every direction, and you can safely bet that they'll incorporate some degree of electrification. The retro-inspired, heritage-laced design is here to stay, however. Mark Trostle, Dodge's horsepower-addicted chief of design, told Muscle Car & Trucks that looks deserve a big chunk of credit for making the Charger and the Challenger as popular as they are. Horsepower and quarter-mile times help sell cars, but it's the "magic of their design" that lures buyers into showrooms to check out the modern-day muscle cars in the metal. "I wouldn't want to ruin something that's been so successful for us," Trostle concluded. He compared the Challenger to the Jeep Wrangler, another design icon in the Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) portfolio. The offroader entered its fourth generation in 2018; every part of it is new, and it's not a Xerox copy of its predecessor, but it's still immediately recognizable as a Wrangler. Trostle hinted he's planning this type of evolutionary design for the next-generation Challenger. After all, it's part of the company's history, and heritage is something no amount of money can buy. While it sounds like development work on the next-generation Challenger is ongoing, Dodge isn't finished with the current-generation car yet. The nameplate will celebrate its 50th birthday during the 2020 model year, and it's reasonable to assume Dodge has something special planned for it.
Dodge gives 2015 Viper slight power increase, new GT model
Tue, 02 Sep 2014With its troubling sales figures, the newly rechristened SRT Dodge Viper needs to come out swinging for 2015. To do that, Dodge has made a number of tweaks and changes that will hopefully carry the V10-powered sports car into more successful days.
First up for 2015 is a new GT model, which aims to marry the reasonable price of the base car with the adjustable suspension and trick stability control program of the GTS model. The GT also sports a cabin that's covered in Alcantara suede and Nappa leather as standard.
Also new for 2015 is the SRT TA 2.0 Special Edition, which expands on last year's Viper TA by adding new aerodynamic bits and bobs, including a larger rear wing, which ups downforce at 150 miles per hour from 278 pounds to 400 pounds.
2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat en route to dealers
Sat, 15 Nov 2014Get ready, world: The 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has officially been unleashed. But rather than just have the big coupes quietly arrive at dealers, Dodge has released this video, showing Hellcats loading up onto car carriers at Fiat-Chrysler's Brampton, Ontario plant. And yes, that is Mötley Crüe's "Kickstart My Heart" playing in the background. Of course.
This really is worth all the fanfare, though, considering Dodge will sell its ridiculously powerful, supercharged machine for just $59,995. And if the Challenger isn't quite up your alley, just remember, there's an equally powerful, 204-mph, four-door Charger Hellcat on the way...
