The Challenger remains one of the most popular and collectible muscle cars on the market today. Its enduring appeal stems not only from handsome styling, but also from the solid performance engineering that went into it from the outset. Most notably, the Challenger’s basic E-Body platform could accommodate the entire Chrysler engine range by virtue of its front sub-frame that was borrowed from the larger Charger/Coronet B-Body cars. In addition, the use of the Charger/Coronet rear suspension layout provided a wide rear track, accommodating the wider tires that became available by 1970. The rest is automotive history, as the Challenger and its competitors charged into the limelight. The passion for this era of special machines continues unabated.

Presented in the popular Hemi Orange (code EV2) with black interior and black R/T “performance” stripes; this exceptional example is powered by the coveted ‘V-code’ 390 horsepower, 440 cubic inch Magnum Six Pack V-8 engine that is paired with a A727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission. The new-for-1970 R/T hood is a giveaway to the car’s identity with its “440 Six Pack” badging and NACA ducts.

This is a well-documented machine that comes with its original Broadcast sheet, a data tag code breakdown, and listing in the Chrysler Registry. According to the registry, there were only 1,640 Dodge Challenger R/T two-door hardtops produced for the United States with the famed 440, Six Pack engine. The appearance meets the best of standards with chromed steel Rallye wheels, hood tie-downs, chromed racing-type mirror, dual exhaust with chromed exhaust tips, drip moldings, and B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A tires. The interior features bucket seats without console, Rallye Instrument Cluster with tachometer, wood-like trim elements; all presented in a very tidy presentation. The engine bay also displays a fine degree of presentation, while the trunk has the floor liner, jack, and space-saver spare. The owner’s manual is also included with this notable Challenger R/T package.

Part of the Dodge Scat Pack of the era; the Challenger brochure headlined, “The Six Pack. It snarls, it quivers, it leaps vast prairies in a single bound.” Get ready for a most exhilarating turn behind the wheel in one of 1970s favorite muscle machines.
