Few muscle cars wear their attitude as boldly as a Plum Crazy 1970 Dodge Challenger, and this R/T SE example takes that swagger to another level. Now listed with GAA Classic Cars for its 2026 July auction, this coupe pairs one of Mopar's most outrageous factory colors with the hardware that made the breed legendary.
At the heart of the car is a date-coded 426 Hemi, the famed R-code engine that turned the Challenger into a street and strip terror. Backing it is a 410 Dana rear, while a Shaker hood feeds the big elephant motor with cold air and plenty of visual drama. This is the combination Mopar collectors chase, and finding it in a genuine R/T SE makes the package especially desirable.
The car has been treated to a frame-off restoration and finished in factory Plum Crazy Purple, topped with a white vinyl roof for that period-correct contrast. Inside, the cabin is dressed in salt-and-pepper houndstooth, a hallmark of the SE trim, and even retains an AM 8-track radio for an authentic early-1970s feel.
According to the listing, the Challenger retains its original VIN, body numbers, and fender tag, confirming its identity as a Factory R/T SE R-code Hemi car. GAA does note some honesty points worth knowing: the car carries a non-conforming VIN and some incorrect fasteners, details that serious bidders will want to weigh as they evaluate the restoration.
Wearing one of the boldest color combinations Dodge ever offered and packing the most coveted drivetrain in the catalog, this 1970 Challenger R/T SE is exactly the kind of headline car that draws a crowd. It crosses the block on Saturday during GAA's 2026 July sale.
