What’s special about this listing
This 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T represents a standout example of one of the most celebrated American muscle cars of the classic era. Introduced in 1970 on the Chrysler E platform alongside the Plymouth Barracuda, the first-generation Challenger quickly became an icon of the pony car wars. According to the seller, this genuine R/T is verified by its original fender tag and features a numbers matching 383 Magnum V8 producing 335 horsepower. What sets this example apart is its stunning Plum Crazy Purple paint paired with the rare factory air conditioning option—a combination that makes it especially desirable among Mopar collectors.
Described as having undergone a complete rotisserie-style restoration documented with a photo album, this Challenger is said to be as impressive underneath as it is on top. The seller notes that the body is exceptionally clean and straight, with smooth rockers and lower fenders, and that the underside has been finished in glossy Plum Crazy Purple to match the exterior. The interior features a high-quality reproduction dash pad with the desirable factory Rallye dash and tachometer, plus the iconic Slap Stik shifter in the center console. Under the hood, the engine compartment is said to be restored to factory-fresh condition, with verified casting numbers and dates, correct stock air cleaner, factory manifolds, and all firewall components properly restored.

- Numbers matching 383 Magnum V8 with original fender tag verification
- Rare factory air conditioning in iconic Plum Crazy Purple
- Complete rotisserie restoration with documented photo album
- Freshly rebuilt 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission
- Underside finished in matching Plum Crazy Purple with rust-free floors
