1970 Hemi Charger R/T-SE on ebay
 
No, it's not mine. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif Dont know anything about it but I just ran across it on ebay. This is one that was not on anyone's radar. Green on green, 426 hemi, automatic, original owner. Check out the whitewalls and the cadillac hubcaps! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I guess the numbers go up one now to 6 automatics and 10 four speeds known to have been produced. And the VIN indicates it was built about 80 cars after mine!

$300,000 starting bid!

Owner should find a photographer to post some good photos. OR, is there plenty to hide ?

I know which one's worth more now,but I wonder what he paid more for-the car or his house?

Looks like he's brand new to ebay = first listing. I emailed him asking for more photos. I love the one of him standing by the car. He looks like the local butcher with his apron on. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

He just posted some more photos this evening. It's the real deal: "A47" is the code for the SE package. That's the original fender tag with the inspector's stamps on it and its unique factory mounting screws: one painted and one natural. As the cars went down the painting assembly line the tag was mounted with the front screw only and bent up for the inspectors to place their crimped inspection stamp on the tag - the "v" and the "11". You can even see the crease by the front screw where it was bent up. No repro here. F8 Green with no vinyl top. It was built a day after my car: Tuesday Dec 9, 1969. The interior is immmaculate: Green Leather! Nice dirty, untouched engine compartment. It even has its original battery cable still. What a time machine. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

I would say the local photographer finally came meat shopping. -- WOW nice interior, that rear seat appears it's never been used. 300k should enable him to hang up that apron.

Sorry for being both stupid and uninformed are you guys saying that only about 16 HEMI Chargers were produced in 1970? Why the reduction from 432 HEMI Chargers built in 1969? Lack of interest?

Les, Steve in referring to the # of Hemi's Chargers that have both the R/T and the SE options. There were many more built with just the RT option. Hope this clears it up for you.
Rich.

To answer your questions Les, the numbers dropped probably due to the introduction of the Cuda and Challenger, and the hefty price of the Charger. As for production, the Dodge Boys made 112 Hemi Chargers in 1970: 56 four speeds and 56 automatics. And in anticipation of your next question, no, they didn't plan that exact same number for each tranny combination, it just worked out that way. Of those 112 built, 15 (now 16, broken down into 10 four speeds and 6 automatics) were the option upon an option R/T-SE (think of a Z-28 with the Rally Sport option as a GM equivilent) The SE gave you a bunch of luxury additions such as the leather interior and real artificial woodgrain on everything. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif
