Help w/ Value 70 Challenger R/T
 
Hi Guys,
I have a friend that wants to sell a car that he has had for many years to buy something else. I am looking at buying it, and I have known the car for many years.

Being a challenger, I was wondering what you think is fair, he wants to give me a "good deal", but neither one of us wants to screw the other.

The car is a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T. It is an original Lime Green, Black interior car. Original 4 speed car. It has a rotissorie resto and the body and paint is near perfect. It is not numbers matching, but currently has a 340 in it. As far as needs, it needs the interior finished, carpet, headliner and dash pad.

I am going to go over there saturday and get the tag numbers for a decode.

If the car is what is above (in the looks dept, it is, just need to check those numbers), then what would you think is a fair price for this car?

Running Driving 70 R/T, NOM 340, orig 4 speed, 10 of 10 on body paint, needing interior finished, Lime Green/Black Int, orig wheels.

I know someone who just sold an 70 Challenger R/T orange with Black vinyl top and interior, matching numbers but an automatic. Fully restored.
He got $46,000 for it.

I hope this helps.

This one is NOM, and needs the interior finished. But it is a 4 speed car.
I really need to go and get a pic of the data plate and decode to make sure.

Thanks,
Rich

Do you know what the original engine was?

Also, is the paint code FJ5 or FJ6?

if its a small block it isnt an rt std. engine on an rt would be a 383, post the tag info and you can get a good idea of value

seems the 70 Challenger R/Ts are coming out this year. I know of a one owner 70 Challenger R/T 440/6 pak car that was traded in on a new truck last year. Oh the cars owner was the ORG owner https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif Triple black 440 car https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif Soon to be in one of the MOPAR Mags coming to a rack near you https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

On a challerger the vin# is embossed into the dash pad. It does not come out unless there's a new process that I am unaware of. That can cause a lot of head aches if you use a good dash from another car.
That's also correct about it needing to be a 383 or bigger to be an R/T.
If it's a 440, 440 6pac, or hemi with a 4 speed, it most likley is a dana. Any of the above could be an 8.3/4 with an auto. This can be misleading as different combos could be ordered although a 383 727 dana was possible, a 440 6 pac 4spd 8 3/4 was not.
Ebody mopars are cool. Just remember mopar parts are pretty pricey.
Just in passing, the new goodmark challenger fenders are very nice.

The original engine size is coded into the first 7 charcters of the VIN.

A friend of mine used to own a 70 440 six pack 4 speed RT challenger convertible, with just about every option possible, from rim blow horn to A/C. He sold it a few years ago and now it is undergoing a full restoration (not that it really needed it). He bought it for 1500 bucks in 1984.

The VIN tag on the dash is riveted in, I believe with a 6 sided rivet, not 100% on that though, its been about 12 years since I had a Mopar

Bingo!

(Unless it's a '71 . . . )

Also, Mark C., no AC in Six Pack cars. What's the story, morning glory?
