Awesome Challenger! Very nice to see this car as a survivor that actually gets driven,.despite the fact that it's value is into six figures. Nothing can replace that sound at the rear exhaust. Total intimidation and character. No sanitized EV can convey that.

What beautiful lines this 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T has in red! I liked those air intakes on the hood, and the thin and elongated front grille, along with its double headlights, giving it an aggressive appearance. Interesting was the anecdote that Curtis told, about the crazy mistake of the rest of the blue paint in the trunk, haha. A beautiful red interior, such as the seats, doors or dashboard; and all seasoned with that elegant touch that only wood can give. Plus, I liked the roar its V8 Hemi engine produced! Congratulations to its owner, Rindy! Because every time her son drives her late husband's car, it brings back fond memories for both of them; and, why not, somewhere a big smile from her father! Best regards, Lou!

Only thing he did was find some wider steel wheels for the back, have them painted correctly, put the dog dish caps on, and changed all 4 tires to Coopers. They were a soft, well sticking/pavement grabbing tire at that time. Super Mags-with the white letters turned inward. Vanishing Point, only watched them destroy a Challenger ONCE.

Believe it or not, my father ordered this car from Dodge in 1970. It was purchased new in April 1970 from Glass City Dodge in Toledo Ohio. Very few red on red Challenger RT Hemis were ever produced. I have tried to contact the current owners to purchase this car but I was informed that they were not interested in selling it back to me. My father has since passed away but I’d love to own it, restore it for the memories. That’s my sad but true story…

First time that I can recall seeing an E-body with a red interior. Black or white seem to be the most common. No way they would have built a bright blue car with this interior colour, so I guess the solution was either to re-assign the blue body to a different build, or re-spray it in red and carry on with the build sequence.

@@loucostabile The others I seen were at a large dealership that I was directed to when I had concerns about mine. Only 1 of the other cars was associated with them, the other 2 they had pictures of from across the country. Their problem was a customer came in wearing a gun threatening them with giving him his money back or he'd get it through a lawsuit or another way. He accused them of taking a car off the lot and painting it because he wanted a white car and they didn't have one. They showed him the tag, their paperwork, his paperwork where it left the factory as a white car. These weren't special cars like this Challenger but run of the mill cars, his was a Fury, mine was just a little more than a lot car but only a '73 Charger SE, 3/4 vinyl opera windows, 400 4-bbl, duel exhaust, air, cruise, full power. The dealership went bust after the next gen took it over but if I ever get to Mo.-which I don't plan on doing-I think the Charger could be sitting in a fence row and I could take pictures of it. It's one of the things I signed over to the future ex before filing for divorce, I don't think it lasted another year with the new guy and it ended up parked, son said it looked like a banana after landing on it's nose.
