1970 Dodge Charger 500 Pro Touring

Vehicle Description 1970 Dodge Charger $131,998 INTRODUCTION: Chargers are among the most desirable muscle cars ever built, and this one takes it to another level. Rotisserie restored, it still has all the iconic looks and original charm of a 1970 Charger, but it's been highly upgraded for performance, handling, comfort and reliability. Best of both worlds- classic Mopar attitude with modern muscle car performance! EXTERIOR: I literally just stepped outside and saw this Charger sitting in the sunlight, and it looks stunning! The gentleman who restored the car told me it retains its original metal, and the body is exceptionally clean. It's straight, the panels fit very nicely, and I did not find any rust, damage or problem areas. It was repainted a beautiful glossy red with no vinyl top, giving it a clean, sporty look. The jambs are painted and finished nicely as well. The black bumblebee stripe with the 500 callout really sets it off. All of the chrome and trim is straight and shiny, and the windshield was replaced. Up front are the iconic hideaway headlights, creating that unmistakable full width Charger grille when closed. It's sitting just right on a beautiful set of chrome American Racing wheels- 17s in front and 18s in back and they are all wrapped in Mickey Thompson Street Comp performance tires. INTERIOR: The interior has been very nicely restored. The seats were recushioned and reupholstered, making them exceptionally comfortable, and the side panels are all in excellent shape. The carpet and headliner were replaced, the interior light works, and the dash pad is fresh. Even the instrument panel is clean and not beat up. What you don't see is an all new Hotwire wiring system, while what you do see is a great looking set of upgraded Dakota Digital VHX gauges. A modern center console adds the convenience of an armrest and cup holders. But there's no question about the best part- the six-speed shifter sticking right out of the console! It's also upgraded with three point shoulder belts in front for added safety. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Under the hood is where this Charger really separates itself from the crowd. It's powered by a modern 6.4-liter 392 Gen III HEMI V8 rated at 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque. It has modern electronic fuel injection, a serpentine accessory drive, modern alternator and power steering, along with Vintage Air heat and air conditioning. It's also fitted with a remote oil filter, Wilwood master cylinder and new power brake system. An upgraded electric wiper motor adds reliability, while an aluminum Champion radiator with dual electric fans keeps that HEMI happy and cool. A custom fabricated air box gives the installation a clean, finished appearance. The engine bay itself is exceptionally clean- all solid metal painted glossy red with fresh hardware throughout. Even the windshield squirters are hooked up, and the original fender tag is still right where it belongs. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid, the jamb and the entire trunk are painted red. It has insulation padding underneath the reproduction trunk mat, and the weatherstrip was replaced. The battery has also been relocated to the trunk and is safely secured inside a battery box, helping clean up the engine compartment. UNDERSIDE: There's a lot going on underneath this Charger, starting with the pristine, dry metal that's finished in glossy red. Beyond how clean it is, there are some serious mechanical upgrades. Up front is an AJE tubular suspension system with a tubular K-member, sway bar, QA1 adjustable coilover gas shocks and rack-and-pinion steering. The frame has been reinforced front to back with welded connectors that look like they belong there, reducing body twist and making the car much more rigid. In back is a four-link suspension with tubular control arms and adjustable coilover gas shocks. Braking is handled by four wheel disc brakes with replaced lines and a custom parking brake. The fuel system was completely replaced and upgraded to support the fuel-injected HEMI. It has an impressive 3-inch mandrel bent exhaust with an X-pipe, Flowmaster mufflers and factory style stainless tips exiting out back. Looking up at the motor, it has a Holley oil pan and high-torque starter. The Tremec six-speed manual transmission uses a hydraulic clutch, and a custom driveshaft connects to a Ford 8.8 rear end with 3.73 posi gears. SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation.
