Lay down the hammer and you get to feel the 440ci RB V8 hit hard with its modern Edelbrock induction and Edelbrock aluminum heads. There’s an aluminum radiator to keep the engine cool at any speed. To handle that power boost is an A727 TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic, plus a Dana 60 rear. You’re treated to a nice symphony through the custom exhaust with Flowmaster FlowFX mufflers. Just imagine how many rear tires you could shred in this sweet ride!

A rotisserie restoration has ensured this Challenger looks spectacular from every angle, including the undercarriage. The exterior is true to the factory looks, not only with the genuine Plum Crazy paint but also the Performance Hood Treatment and a fresh white top to match the white upholstery. The suspension has been lowered, giving this Dodge a little more aggressive stance and helping some with handling. Topping off the looks are the factory badges and 15-inch Rallye Wheels.

Speaking of the interior, the white and black vinyl look excellent as do the wood grain accents. If you get tired of hearing that 440, a modern Sony sound system works for entertainment.

Lots of great amenities are included with this beauty. For starters there’s air conditioning, something you don’t always get in a classic muscle car. Power steering is also included, along with power front disc brakes.

There are a lot of reasons to be fascinated with this 1970 Dodge Challenger Convertible. If you want to bid on it, you’ll need to register for the auction first. Keep in mind the Motorious May Muscle Cars Only Online Auction ends Tuesday, May 12, 2020.
