With its bold red exterior and striking interior combo, it’s a tribute that faithfully captures the essence of the legendary Challenger R/T.
Introduced in the fall of 1969 for the 1970 model year, the Dodge Challenger was Chrysler’s entry into the pony car market, designed to compete directly with the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro. The R/T (Road/Track) variant was specifically aimed at performance enthusiasts, offering powerful engines and sporty features. The 1970 Challenger R/T quickly gained popularity due to its muscular stance, aggressive styling, and potent engine choices, including the legendary 426 Hemi, 440 Magnum, and 383 Magnum V8 engines. The R/T package also featured unique graphics, heavy-duty suspension, and a variety of performance-oriented options that made it an instant icon among muscle car enthusiasts.
Exterior Condition
Finished in dazzling Bright Red Crazy paint, this Challenger demands attention everywhere it goes. Classic R/T stripes, black vinyl top, black Sport Hood with pins, chrome mirrors, and a rear black wing enhance its aggressive stance. Factory-correct roof drip rail moldings and pristine chrome bumpers complete the meticulous restoration. The car rides confidently on Rallye wheels wrapped in black sidewall performance tires, perfectly complementing its bold aesthetics.
Interior
Inside, you’ll find an immaculate red twin bucket seat interior complemented by matching rear seats. This Challenger includes the highly desirable Rallye Instrument Cluster Package featuring a tachometer, classic wood steering wheel, red carpeting, matching door panels, and the iconic Pistol Grip Shifter.

Under the hood sits the potent, factory-correct 383 cubic inch V8, clearly detailed with its orange-painted engine block, heads, and intake, along with the black factory air cleaner proudly sporting the Magnum decal. Paired with a robust 4-speed manual transmission and factory Pistol Grip Shifter, power is sent to a heavy-duty 3.55 Sure Grip rear axle, enhancing its muscular performance. Dual exhaust, factory-correct manifolds, and a 26-inch radiator round out the car’s performance credentials.
