AI Listing Summary

This listing is for a rare 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T SE, a 'Triple Black' example with a 440 Magnum engine, four-speed manual transmission, and Track Pak. It's a survivor car with 36,000 original miles, unrestored and retaining its original paint, accompanied by extensive documentation including the original dealer invoice and a Galen Govier report.

Condition

The car is described as a "very genuine 36,000-mile survivor, totally unrestored and sitting its original paint." This indicates that while the car is original and well-preserved for its age, it is not in perfect condition. The listing mentions 'lots of paperwork and history' suggesting careful ownership, but the term 'survivor' typically implies some level of wear and imperfections consistent with age and use. As such the car is not in pristine or outstanding condition as some reconditioning is likely needed to bring it to a very high standard, but it is likely to be in very good condition overall.

Positioned to compete against the Mercury Cougar and Pontiac Firebird in the upper end of the pony car market segment, the Challenger used the same unibody platform as Plymouth's new Barracuda but its wheelbase was 2” longer to provide slightly more rear-seat room.

Exterior design was penned by Carl Cameron, who was also responsible for the exterior designs of the 1966 Dodge Charger, Cameron based the 1970 Challenger grille on an older sketch of a stillborn 1966 Charger prototype that was to have a turbine engine.

As in most US classics, it came with a large number of trim options making each one quite individual.

Dodge muscle cars were among the fastest and wildest on offer offering an astonishing range of engine choices from a docile slant six to the earth-shaking Hemi.

This was Dodge's way of getting attention.

This MOPAR car was special further still though.

It was one the rare R/T 440 performance models (Road/Track) with a 6.3 litre ‘Magnum’ V8 rated at 335bhp.
