 Hi and thanks for looking. This is a great and original 1970 RT SE 440 U code Challenger. I am the third owner. The first owner from Washington State drove it from 1970-1981 and put on 53000 miles on it when he sold it to another gentleman in eastern Oregon where it sat in his personal from 1981-2004. I bought it in 2004 and it has sat in my heated garage since then and it now has 53700 miles so it has sat about 33 years. The good thing about that is it has not gotten all beat up over the years but the bad is everything leaked from drying out gaskets. So last year I started going through everything starting with the original engine. I sent it to a speed shop in Phoenix that does a lot of Mopar engines and had it baked ,tumbled,bored out with new pistons,rings,new purple 484 lift Mopar cam and lifters. The complete assembly was then balanced plus all new cam,rod and main Clevette 77 bearings and Melling high volume oil pump. The 906 heads were completely gone through with hardened seats and new springs,keepers etc. Also had the original Carter AVS carb rebuilt. The motor runs great. Next I had the 727 automatic rebuilt with a shift kit and new torque converter and it shifts great. Next I had the original rear end taken out and cleaned and resealed. It has the 489 case and Sur-Grip (Positrac) with the 3.55 gears. I then put new shocks painted black just like the originals were. I then put in a new exhaust system just like the original I took out with the resonators and all. The tips are the original ones. I also put in a new gas tank and straps. I had the power steering box rebuilt the power steering pump rebuilt using the original casing. Then went through the entire AC system with rebuilt pump,new drier,new condenser,NOS heater valve,new heater core and had the evaporator cleaned and checked.also rebuilt the ac heater box with new foam kit and it looks great. Inside the car is almost all original except for the new Legendary seat covers and foam that matched the original I took out. I still have the original seat covers that go with the car. The upholsterer through away the drivers seat because it had a tear in the seam but you get all I have. I also put in new carpet from Legendary but have the old if you want it as it was kind of faded. I also put in new door sills but everything else is original like the headliner door panels,kick panels, console, dash, rim blow steering wheel which I had redone by Mopar wheels in Arizona and they did a great job and the horn works great. The dash has never been out and all the gauges work fine but the clock only works about half of the time. It also has a thumbwheel AM FM radio that works. This car has 2 fender tags. This is from Galen Goviers report starting with E86-440 1-4 barrel 375hp V8 engine "440 MAGNUM" . D32 Torqueflite  Automatic Transmission.

END-End of Fender Tag Codes. I forgot to say I also put on a new Legendary Vinyl top as the old one was a little faded at the bottom. Also the original buzzer for the key and if you leave the lights on still works fine. So here is a super nice and original 1970 R/T SE 440 U code with original paint and motor and almost everything else. I have driven this car about 370 miles in the last month and it is a blast which is 370 miles farther than it has been driven in the last 35 years. If I have forgot something you can call me at 208 863 1430 my name is Doug. I am very realistic on the price for such a nice car. I am selling it because my daughter is getting her license and so there will be no room for this classic at my shop or home. I may be interested in a newer VW beatle conv, or a newer VW Jetta as partial trade. Thanks

I forgot to mention the windshield has been replaced a long time ago and it is tinted and all the other windows a factory tinted original and look brand new. Also the original dash does have a small crack in it by the center speaker.
