The Last 1970 Challenger R/T

[Rick R]

A couple of years ago I wrote an article for Muscle Car Review magazine about the documanted LAST '70 Challenger RT, a car that had been found in derelict condition in North Carolina. This oddly-equipped car (440 Six Pack, shaker hood, 4-speed, etc.) is available now online in a new article at Mopar Max magazine. Google the title and scan to the article shown at the middle of the cover on the right hand side.

Weathering experts should love this thing!

I have this issue. Prety rough with a bunch of rusted through areas. Of course it is so important as a car. Is it being restored?

and it's white to boot.

This would be a great project. I need another one like I need.....well, you get the idea.

It's still sitting where it was two years ago, in secure storage. The current owner also has several high-end restored Mopars, including a Hemi '70 Super Bee Convertibles built with correct parts by Jim Barbers' shop. There were two '70 SB Hemi 'Verts built, only one of them exists today, this clone is really convincing and a really popular car at shows.

The Challenger is in line for restoration, but is also available for sale, and the guy with the prototype Yenko Camaro that is in MaxChevy is interested in it after his car sells. 'Til then it's available, asking price $30k. Probably a 1500 hour resto requiring LOTS of parts, many dollars but a great car anyway. I just hope someone would tackle the model project!

Neat article. Too bad there aren't more pictures, like from the back, and the left side, interior, engine bay...just leaves some imagination! Would make a neat model for sure.

Thanks for sharing that!
