1970 Dodge Challenger R/T Convertible

THE STORY

There are reasons to pay attention to details with any car purchase, and it is in the details one will find this to be a very special Dodge Challenger. Built on August 2, 1969, the very first day of production, this car is one of only a small handful of Dealer Announcement Show Cars. Moreover, it ended up being one of only 61 V-Code Challenger R/T convertibles produced with the 4-speed manual transmission that first and only year; the convertible R/T option was eliminated for 1971. Noted on the copy of the original broadcast sheet as a “special handling car,” it features an older ground-up rotisserie restoration by Jim Spetzman and has been in its current owner’s care since 2001. A recent mechanical inspection and tune-up was completed by Smothers Supercars in Talala, Oklahoma.

Beneath its upgraded Shaker hood (a date-correct example with the original hood included), the car sports one of Challenger’s most renowned powerplants: the 440/390 HP Six Pack V8 engine. This Chrysler RB-series big-block design had been standard in R/T models since 1967, but the trio of Holley 2-barrels gave the 440 even more of a reputation. Dual exhaust and Hemi suspension were standard. This car came optioned with the A34 Super Track Pak, meaning its A833 New Process 4-speed manual transmission is backed by a Dana 60 Sure Grip-equipped rear end with 4.10 gears. There are power steering and power brakes on this car as well.

Outside, the car is in R4 Bright Red, and it features white longitudinal stripes and a power-operated white top. Inside the gorgeous matched red bucket-seat interior are premium options like power windows, an AM radio with 8-track player, chrome pedal dress-ups, the Rallye dash with tachometer, and a rim-blow steering wheel. Outside are color-keyed mirrors, the rare luggage rack, 15-inch Rallye wheels and Goodyear Polyglas tires. Accompanied with restoration pictures, a window sticker and a Chrysler Registry Report, this car was featured in two magazines and remains a true standout for this model.
