1970 Challenger R/T

[RJS]

Very nice! I remember when that car came up forsale and loved the attention to detail and rarity of it. Scott is a great guy that has helped me with information more than once over the years.
You should be very proud of what you have there.

What is the story you were speaking on about another Challenger? Have a link?

that U code looks great! there is a green survivor around here in Chicago (6 pak auto), looks like one of the 2 green ones in that pic.
I knew they were rare, did not know how rare until now.

Thanks black69. Yes...the 70s are somewhat rare. Those green R/T's look great. Hey...I'm from Chicago too....born and raised. Left there when I retired in 2001. Growing up I lived at Jefferson Park and went to Steinmetz HS. Went into the Air Force and stationed in Thailand during Vietnam. Got out and lived in Schiller Park right on River Rd....right down the road from MCACN. Then we moved to the western suburbs....Streamwood and Bartlett. We'll be in and enjoying the pizza and beef sandwiches in 2 days. Really miss the Chicago food.

I am 99.99% sure that survivor in Chicago is my friends old car. Sold new in Ontario.
It is the one in my pic with the black stripe.
My friend unfortunately died while he had the car at Roger Gibson's getting cleaned up.....I helped Roger get the paperwork so he could sell the car for my friends mother. I remember the buyer was from Chicago.

Good catch Mr70. If I can get that model it will be a great added touch.

Not to drag this off topic....but, did Mother Mopar offer some period plates similar to the USA-1 plates we all collect? My mind ain't working right now.... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Hi Ron...the attention to detail is well over the top. Dave owned the car for many years before doing any work on it. During those years he did much research on it....reading as much as he could and with phone calls to other Challenger gurus. He also took that time to carefully accumulate as many NOS parts as he could. The trunk weather stripping cost him $1200 alone. He did one hell of a job on her. Attention to detail was second to none. Scott is a plethora of information and goes above and beyond to help others. He found a buyer and got me out of a bad situation with a 70 Challenger R/T SE that I bought a few months earlier. I can't say enough about either one of those two.

I had a 70 Shaker Challenger RT/SE Six Pack. 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.
