1970 Dodge Challenger R/T Tribute Delivers Classic Muscle with Big-Block Power

440-powered Challenger tribute finished in Sublime Green with a 4-speed, Sure Grip rear, and street-ready performance upgrades.


Finished in unmistakable Sublime Green with matte black R/T striping, this 1970 Dodge Challenger delivers the classic E-body style and street presence that defined the golden age of muscle cars. Built in tribute to the high-performance R/T models, this example combines period-correct aesthetics with modern enhancements for a bold blend of power and drivability.

Under the hood sits a potent 440 cubic inch Chrysler Magnum V8, paired with a Quick Fuel double-pumper carburetor, Edelbrock Performer intake, and Champion aluminum radiator to ensure strong, consistent performance. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed A-833 manual gearbox and 3.23 Sure Grip rear end, giving the car the torque-heavy punch expected of a big-block Mopar.

Power steering and front disc brakes make for confident road manners, while the 15-inch Mopar steel wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires give it the classic muscle stance. The black vinyl interior is clean and straightforward, staying true to the car’s roots with minimal distractions. A Kenwood stereo system has been added for modern convenience without compromising the vintage vibe.

Though not a factory R/T, this Challenger was clearly built with attention to the details that define the breed—from its aggressive stance and period-correct finishes to the visceral experience of rowing through gears behind that 440. It’s a car made for the open road and for turning heads wherever it goes.

Whether you're looking to relive the muscle car era or want a ready-to-run street machine with serious style, this 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T-style build delivers on all fronts.
