1970 Dodge Challenger R/t Convertible on 2040-cars

Up for auction is one of the most nicely restored 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T convertibles in existence.  It was restored professionally to factory specs.  The way you see it is the way it rolled off the assembly line back in January 1970.

 It has its numbers matching 383 engine which was restored to factory specs and ran on a dyno before installed.  The transmission was completely torn down, detailed and completely rebuilt to factory specs.  The 8 3/4 rear end was also torn down and rebuilt.  The housing was chemically dipped to remove all of the junk in the housing.  The center section was cleaned, detailed and completely rebuilt with new clutches and bearings.

The interior has been completely restored.  The seat frames were media blasted and painted.  Then new seat foams and covers were installed.  The gauge cluster was completely restored by Auto Instruments.  The door and rear interior panels were recovered by Just Dashes as well as the dash pad.  The heater control panel is new so it has the correct chrome detail vs. the silver paint pen most use.  The radio is a new reproduction that looks original on the outside (also with the correct chrome detail) but is new on the inside with IPOD and blue tooth capabilities.  All of the seat belts are new as well as the correct consol.  The dash frame and steering column were painted with NOS correct suede paint.

All of the convertible top components are new including: power top pump, both cylinders, and all of the plastic lines.  Top was professionally installed and looks great.  The frame was media blasted and repainted the correct shade of satin black.  Correct new satin chrome latched and receivers were installed.  

The front suspension was completely detailed using cosmoline on the upper and lower control arms.  All front suspension parts were detailed and coated with RPM (rust preventative magic sold by ECS Automotive).

The exhaust was purchased from Accurate Exhaust.  It is one step louder than factory and has a perfect tone for a convertible. 

The engine compartment is completely detailed with the correct radiator restored by Ray’s Radiator and a date coded carbureted restored by Scott Smith (Harms Auto).

I can write a book on this car.  To sum it up everything on this car was touched CORRECTLY.  What needed to be plated was plated correctly, not sprayed with metal color aerosol paint cans.
