Dodge Challenger R/T 440 Convertible
1970 Dodge Challenger R/T Description:
1970 Dodge Challenger RT Convertible...Yes, a Big Block E-Body Convertible!
What better way to use a tax refund or Year-end Bonus!
The Challenger R/T became one of the most storied muscle cars in automotive history, with meticulously restored and rare examples today selling for six, or even 7 figure prices.
With original Hemi Challenger R/T Convertibles at 7 figures and 440-SixPack Convertibles at $500k, the next most rare and desirable are the 440-equipped cars.
For the 1970 model year, just over 83,000 Dodge Challengers were sold.
Of those, few were R/T's and only 129 were convertibles equipped with a 440 and a Torqueflight transmission as this one is.
Unfortunately, few survived and even fewer survived with their original drivetrain.
Why even consider a 'tribute' or 'clone', when an original, investment quality car is available?
This Super Rare 440 (U-code) Challenger R/T Convertible is dressed in stunning B5 Blue paint with a matching blue interior, just as it left the factory!
Professionally restored to the highest level using numerous NOS components.
