Not mine, but it looks like a really nice T/A.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-Dodge-Challenger/292623193942?hash=item4421b39756:g:yK4AAOSwjvJZPxTk

This is fully restored 1970 white TA challenger, its believed to be 1 out of 33 made, and 1 of 1 with the louvers and no vinyl top.   The car has 50 miles on the restoration.  We have over 100k in receipts, without the purchase of the car. Numbers matching motor and transmission.    We have the original built sheet and all the documents. Took 7 years to restore. The interior is 100% original, except for the carpet, seat covers and head liner.  The dash is 100% original so is the rear and front door panels. The dash is original to the car.  So is the counsel and all the trim. Full blue printed motor!   The engine was super tuned. The carbs were built and tuned by Promax. We went with billet Promax metering blocks.   On the Dyno after the motor was built, it pulled off 415 HP, with 450 TQ .  We have the dyno sheet and video of the run.  The cam is 272 duration, .474 lift.  This cam is a standard cam that came in stock 340s, in 1970.  It works extremely well with the carbs. Instant opening, no bogs. Instant! 

We did not want the stock de-tuned .440 lift cam, the motor was de tuned from the factory.  We decided to go with a standard stock 1970 340 cam.   The motor is 100 original to the car,  it is  numbers matching, with the original numbers matching transmission. The X block 340 with its fast burn heads is one of the best motors ever engineered, ever.  It really out performed on the engine dyno. It made more power than a 2002 Ls6 Zo6 motor with a 550 inch lift cam.  And it did it, with a stock style .474 lift, 272 duration 1970 style 340 camshaft.  It really impressed us. For the motor, we used Mahle light weight forged pistons.  We choose this, because of the expansion ratio, its very minimal with these pistons. In our opinion, nobody on the market even comes close.  We had bad experiences with pistons in the past.  Making knocking or ticking noises, not with Mahle!  The pistons also have a high temp heat coating on the side skirts. 

We would like to mention this car never had rust or a panel replaced, full original quarters.  It was a very low mile car before restoration. We are the third owners, we bought it from the second owner, who bought the car in 1974.  The stock odometer was in the low 30k mile range. The front disc are original to the car, cut once, we cut them.

We decided to use new bolts for the front clip, but we have all the original bolts saved and stored.  This car is an original car, and we have all the original parts. All of them. The radiator is also original, but we re cored it, and put a 4 core in it.  So it can be driven anywhere without worrying about heating problems. 

The little details on this car has to much to list. For instance the gauges were rebuilt by reline, the K member is powder coated, the brake lines are SS, the paint is sickens, the lower control arms are the correct gold, but we had them boxed. We also used slightly larger than stock Mancini torsion bars.  The car handles very well!  The rear leaf springs are stock, and are in perfect condition.

The paint is amazing! The paint on the car is a work of art.  No expense spared!  The bottom of the car looks as good as the top.  We wanted a stock car, but with little touches that would not be noticed, to improve it's performance.  We wanted to bring the best out in this car. And we believe we achieved our goal.  How it was supposed to be from the factory. The car is very quick, the slap stick works well, 6000 rpm shift points are no problem.  Can actually go to 6500 rpm if you wanted.  It feels more like a 440 six pack honestly, but without the heavy nose. The car is very  quick nimble and tight.  No disappointments. Again, too much to list, no expense was spared, we have all the receipts, just call me, and I can tell you about the car.  stage274/library/

My phone is 630-310-2494.  For serious buyers, we have 100K in receipts, without the purchase of the car.  Its an extraordinary car, and its extremely rare. We are selling it with a heavy heart.  Call me and make an offer.  There is no better TA challenger in the country.

Write up shows a person not real car knowledgeable.

Made up non facts.

Shiny restoration by a not knowledagle shop.

They ruined all the OE markings and I doubt they documented what they removed, since they were too clueless to recognize.

This statement is an insult:
"There is no better TA challenger in the country.. "

Better said:
The most ruined original T/A in recent history.

Not a rallye dash car. Then would have two speed motor.

Remember, 70-71 E-body and 71-72 B-body fresh air cars do not have to have 3 speed wipers. That
is only a 69-70 B-body thing.

I like it! It would make a  great daily driver if it had a AOD.

Been on the market for awhile.  More or less in my area, but I've never seen it at a show or cruise.

Yes: I think this is the guy that overspent $150k on it. I agree it would make a great driver, maybe fuel inject it and add some 17's and have at it.

Sorry if it's a stupid question, but it is a rallye dash car from what the pictures show.  Or am I missing something fundamental here?

From what was said, the rally dash option code is missing from fender tag. So the dash is added.

It's a common misnomer that on all fresh air cars you had to have a 3 spd wiper for clearance reasons. But that is only in 1969 and 1970 B-bodies.

But when they redesigned the chassis in 70 for the Ebody and 71 for the B-body they fixed that clearance issue. So on the later cars you don't have to get 3 speed wiper with fresh air hoods.

@pyro273 ...The 1970 Challenger T/A DID NOT come standard with a rally dash, it was an extra cost option. Yes the pictures show this car now has a rally dash, but it's clearly NOT coded for it on the fender tag, meaning the dash was added at some point.

The point about the wiper motor is also pretty clear. When the rally dash was ordered, it came with 3 speed wipers and electric windshield washers....A lot of people neglect to add those things when they upgrade the dash to a rally dash.

Contrary to popular belief, a three speed wiper motor is not required for the six pack air cleaners on an E Body.

I like this statement

"The interior is 100% original, except for the carpet, seat covers and head liner.  The dash is 100% original so is the rear and front door panels. The dash is original to the car.'


Aren't those three items like the most important to be an oringnal interior?
