VIN XS29U0G167268
What’s special about this listing
Described by the seller as a show-stopping Mopar legend, this 1970 Dodge Charger R/T is finished in the iconic Plum Crazy purple—a color that has become synonymous with the height of the muscle car era. According to the listing, power comes from the legendary 440 cubic-inch 4-barrel V8 paired with a 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission, delivering the deep, commanding rumble that defines classic Mopar performance. The seller notes that the car is equipped with power steering and power brakes, making it as enjoyable to cruise as it is to admire, while the black vinyl interior and custom wheels complete its unmistakable presence.
The 1970 model year represents the swan song of the second-generation Charger, a design introduced in 1968 that remains one of the most celebrated silhouettes in American automotive history. The Charger R/T—short for Road and Track—was Dodge's flagship performance variant, with the 440 Magnum serving as standard equipment alongside the exceedingly rare optional 426 Hemi. These cars dominated NASCAR competition in 1970 and later achieved pop-culture immortality, ensuring the fastback Charger's status as a genuine cultural icon. The seller emphasizes that finding an authentic 1970 Charger R/T in road-ready condition is an increasingly rare opportunity.
