Owner's manual

Even almost 50 years later, the performance focus of the 1970 Challenger R/T release is evident. The cab design, optional components, possible color combinations and vehicle stance were created to give a sense of gentlemanly respect, and the car offered here certainly would have been more than a Saturday night special for its first owner. Decked out stylishly with B5 Blue paint, white longitudinal striping and matched white vinyl interior and top, this Challenger from that first year of production is the result of a multi-year rotisserie restoration. Completed in July 2016 by Ozark Mountain Classics in Mountain Home, Arkansas, using original and NOS parts whenever possible, it is easy to understand why this car was brought back to an exacting standard. Under the hood is the matching-numbers U-code 440 CI V-8 engine equipped with a 4-barrel carburetor, dual-snorkel air cleaner with 440 Magnum pie pan, factory-cast exhaust manifolds and dual pipes ending with chrome tips. Coupled to this is the hot A33 Track Pack, with its heavy-duty 4-speed transmission, Dana 60 differential, 3.54 gearing and Sure Grip. There are power steering and power brakes with front discs as well. Inside is also sharply dressed, featuring high-back bucket seats, a center console, Hurst Pistol Grip shifter, thumb-wheel style AM/FM radio, Rallye dash cluster, remote driver’s mirror and even power windows. The blue/white color combination is broken up only by chrome touches like the drip rail, wheel well and lower rocker moldings, plus the locking fuel door, R/T emblems in the grille and rear panel, script Challenger tags and displacement callouts on the sport hood with its hold-down pins. Rather than opting for the Rallye wheel design, this Challenger rides on the classic 5-spoke-appearance styled road wheels using Goodyear Polyglas tires. Showcasing a sense of beauty throughout, yet with horsepower to back up its name, this Challenger R/T is an excellent example of what has made buyers “Dodge Material” even to this day.
