1970 Dodge Challenger - $57,995 - Tampa, FL - Here's a triple-black 1970 Dodge Challenger with a 440 Magnum and plenty of rare features. We'll go a head and tell you all the details, but we already know you want this example of serious Mopar muscle.It's hard not to love one of the most intimidating looking muscle cars of all time in a shade of black that's shiny enough to be a mirror. Of course paint is only as good as the sheetmetal underneath, and it takes a laser straight body like this one because imperfections can't hide from this slick black. Good gaps are also essential, and you're looking at a refinished assembly that's far superior to what the factory had time to achieve. The SE package is rather unusual with an R/T, and includes the padded roof with smaller rear window, which gives this car a very unique look. It's not only how this coupe earns the coveted triple-black status (black paint, black roof, and black interior,) but also the matte finish of the roof looks great with the coordinating rear spoiler. But this is not a completely dark affair. There are the brightly chromed bumpers, full-width taillights that are bright and clear, proper Rallye wheels, and of course, there's no missing that bold hood shaker. This car also features a highly detailed undercarriage with chassis markings from the assembly line.
The black interior is the final element of triple-black, and this one keeps correct to SE packaging with bucket seats and desirable center console. The woodgrained steering wheel matches the dash, and the instrument panel is full of original gauges including a factory tach and a working clock. Additional gauges hang below the dash in the usual spot, and you'll be pleasantly surprised by the condition of soft parts like the door panels, dash pad, headliner, and even the carpet is in great shape with no threadbare spots. And while you're checking this one out, don't forget to look up and see the rare overhead console that came as part of the SE package. As much as this one has all the classic components right, there are a few very nice upgrades. There's an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo to keep passengers entertained, and everyone can enjoy the ice cold air conditioning that's running R-134a for easy servicing.
When you look beyond the awesome shaker that's topping the motor, you'll see the big 440 V8 that provides beastly power. It inhales deeply through an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and exhales with authority out of a performance H-pipe dual exhaust. This is a screamer of a motor that can be used to intimidate the rest of the muscle car crowd. The 440 in this car is a period-correct date-code block and it runs excellent! If all you want to do is take your black Challenger on a midnight cruise, then you'll be thankful for features like the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes.
When you dream about Mopars, this is the one and it simply doesn't get any better than black on black. Rarely do you get to find your fantasy Challenger in real life, so don't let this one slip through your fingers. Call today!!!
