1970 Challenger R/t factory red car, black interior, black vinyl top, added rear louvers, wing, and hood decal, have a partial build sheet, was 383 Auto , now a steel world block Hemi  with hardened seat steel mopar heads and a Hemi four-speed with a full 11 inch center force clutch and a original B Body Dana sixty with 3.54 gears. With the extra one inch on each side from the B Body rear and the relocated super stock springs there is plenty of room for the monster 295/15/50 rear Tires. The engine is custom built with all roller components, roller rockers, and solid roller lifters and is a non-stroker 426 engine with H beam rods and forged lightweight pistons-and file fit rings. The exhaust is Hemi manifolds with a TTI three inch exhaust. Two six fifty thunder series carbs modified down to 550 each and a Methanol/ Water system permits using pump gas and still have 116 octane equivalent fuel on demand. ( See the picture of the methanol tank in the trunk) and the O2 gauge under the dash to monitor the air-fuel ratio. It also has a Griffen Mopar look radiator with custom shroud and twin fans and controller.

The steering has a Borgeson steering box, tubular-upper control arms and custom adjustable strut bars, huge front and rear sway bars front and back. Handles great for a nose heavy Hemi car and almost feels like a rack and pinion steering car. It stops great with a reproduction Hemi power brake booster and front disk brakes and 11 inch rear drum brakes. The bottom of the car is all original undercoat with all new gas brake and e-brake lines.

The entire car is all original panels with small repairs.  ( one fender and front valance is N.O.S. Replacements from many years ago) The trunk floor is original with repairs. The paint is fresh and the grille is restored and bumpers are rechromed.

The interior has original door panels, rear seat covers and the nicest original dash pad you have ever seen, probably a three thousand dollar pad if you could even find one like it!  New carpet, headliner and front seat covers make up the interior. The seat belts are original and perfect. The gauges work perfect with a rebuilt tack that reads correctly and a aftermarket volt gauge since the dash harness has been bypassed so that most of the voltage goes to the battery. It has a second fuse panel on the passenger side for the extra accessories. The sound system is good with a amp in the trunk behind the collapsible spare and four speakers, the head unit works with a phone and blue tooth for music. ( good luck hearing the phone) Yes, it has air conditioning as well, vintage air, and heat, both work better than the original ones ever did.

This car is NOT just a bunch of reproduction parts and I have an appraisal to support the value of the car. I have owned the car about two years and been to one show, I came away with a best in class trophy

  I built this car to be a high-end driver for myself but it's way above that. I've restored many
Mopars and there is nothing about this car that is weak. I have done several Hemi cars as well,
572, 528, 512, 472 and a couple of 426 non-stroker motors so I knew how I wanted this motor.
It only has a few hundred miles on the build so you are benefiting from my labor and you
can't build this car for what I'm selling it for, (this car is just made out of money and rare
parts, you can't build a car like this without both ).....let alone find one this well preserved to
build this nice. 82,500.00

No test dives permitted, only a ride along, you can drive it when you pay for it. The  Car only
leaves when funds clear my bank or are wired to my bank based on cash.

It's the best Hemi car I have built and I am going to hate selling it but I have had two operations on my eye for a detached retina and I need to free up some cash. I have at least two more operations to go on the same eye. It really sucks what has happened to health insurance.....totally worthless.

At least I have a AAR Cuda almost ready for the road to replace this one. If the AAR was done I would never sell this car though, the fact is I can never replace it because the parts just don't exist. If this does not sell soon enough the AAR will be done and I will put it up for sale and hopefully, it will sell first. At least that's my plan. It's a car for an eye either way.;(
