SOLD - $127,750 + BP

MODEL OVERVIEW:

The 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T (Road/Track) represented the high-performance flagship of Dodge’s new E-body muscle car line, combining dramatic styling with serious factory power. Distinguished by its performance suspension, bold R/T badging, optional longitudinal body stripes and aggressive stance, the model was designed to compete directly with the era’s top American muscle machines. Under the bonnet buyers could choose from a formidable range of big-block V8 engines, including the 440 Magnum, the 440 Six Pack with triple two-barrel carburettors, and the legendary 426 HEMI, delivering blistering straight-line performance. Heavy-duty components such as upgraded brakes, performance suspension and available four-speed manual transmission reinforced its Road/Track credentials, while the cockpit featured a driver-focused dashboard with Rallye instrumentation, bucket seats and centre console. Today the 1970 Challenger R/T stands as one of the most iconic and desirable American muscle cars ever produced, celebrated for its combination of brute power, unmistakable styling and enduring collector appeal.

1970 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T

GENUINE R/T - SUPERCHARGED EFI 440 BIG BLOCK MAGNUM V8 - STANDOUT BODY & PAINTWORK – NO EXPENSE SPARED BUILD

American muscle at its finest, this 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T has been transformed through a no-expense-spared rotisserie restoration into a formidable high-performance street machine. Built using a genuine Big Block R/T Challenger, it combines iconic Mopar styling with modern engineering, delivering a car that is as visually striking as it is brutally capable. The result is a professionally executed, high-dollar build — show-quality in presentation and significantly elevated in performance specification.

DRIVELINE

At its core sits a Gene Cook Race Engines built Supercharged EFI 440 Big Block Magnum V8, engineered for serious output. Featuring MoTeC electronic fuel injection, a Harrop HTV2300 supercharger, Mopar Performance alloy cylinder heads and a list of high quality internals, this package delivers a dyno-proven 560+ horsepower in soft street tune. A big set of extractors and stainless steel exhaust system completes the package, delivering the unmistakable deep Mopar big-block note.

Power is delivered through a rebuilt heavy-duty 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission, supported by a fully upgraded suspension and driveline including a brand-new Dana 60 differential with Sure Grip limited-slip centre. Chassis extensions have been installed, a strong combination engineered to confidently handle the substantial output.

Equally impressive is the braking system, upgraded to Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes with a matching Wilwood master cylinder, complemented by braided brake lines throughout. This high-performance setup delivers vastly improved stopping power, pedal feel and reliability, bringing the braking capability in line with the engine’s performance and ensuring the car remains both controlled and confidence-inspiring under all driving conditions.

Cruising ability is taken care of with Power Steering and modern Air-conditioning fitted for an easy turn key use.

EXTERIOR

Finished in Metallic Silver, the body presents to an exceptional standard following its full rotisserie rebuild. The paintwork features multiple layers of clear coat, delivering outstanding depth and gloss, while panel fit and overall finish reflect the high level of professional craftsmanship invested. The Challenger’s aggressive E-Body proportions are perfectly showcased with 18" Boss wheels and wide rubber, giving the car a strong stance and unmistakable road presence.

INTERIOR

The interior retains its R/T configuration and has been fully re-upholstered to a high standard throughout. Presentation is fresh, detailed and cohesive, maintaining the classic muscle car aesthetic while incorporating subtle enhancements for usability. Features including centre console, correct instrumentation and modern air conditioning ensure the cabin remains both authentic in feel and comfortable in operation.
