Sold it to a friend - He still owns it.....I want it back - lol!

A shaker on any 70 Challenger is rare.......they didn't start shipping until May of 70 because of problems with the Challenger hood.

Mine was a 4.10 4-speed Six-Pack.....with the white roof and bumble bee stripe.

The pic with 2 of them is mine and my buddies 440-6 Auto - original paint car. Both were FJ5 Sublime.


There were only so many 70 RT/SE's with shakers.....can't remember the actual number right now but total 70 Challenger Shaker production was around 184 cars........need to find my info on RT/SE with N96 option.

Wow RS_COPO_Canuck....you have totally blown me away. Those are both unbelievable to see in the same pic. I can't believe you let that one go. Here's a short blurb and break down on the 70 Shakers.

Early in the '70 model year the SHAKER was:
STANDARD on HEMI'Cuda
OPTIONAL on 440+6 'Cuda &amp; HEMI &amp; 440+6 Challenger R/T

Spring of the '70 model year the SHAKER was:
STANDARD on HEMI'Cuda
OPTIONAL on other engine 'Cuda &amp; all engine Challenger R/T


I've seen the following numbers (accuracy??)
1970 production figures w/N96 (US spec. cars):
BS23R0B - 652
BS27R0B - 14
BS23_0(B/E) - 717 (non-HEMI)
BS27_0(B/E) - 8 (non-HEMI)
JS23_0(B/E) - 164
JS27_0(B/E) - 5
JS29_0(B/E) - 15

</div></div>

Yes - I remember that number now......15 JS29's (RT/SE) got a shaker.....15 spread among the 440-4, 440-6 and the Hemi....383? Not sure if that was in the mix..............Not too many!!
I'll end up with that car again......but I will have to give him a car I don't want to give him...Lol!

I love the combo on yours. Was it a sales bank car? </div></div>


It was a customer ordered car....not a dealer ordered car. I honestly believe that he liked the way the Jaguars looked in that color scheme and did the same thing. It is very unusual but striking. My wife loves it and she thinks the word to describe it is elegant.
I hope you end up with the Challenger again. It shouldn't be hard at all to track it down now.
