The Car
Description
This genuine 1970 Dodge Charger R/T has received a comprehensive ground-up restoration and is finished in its factory Bright Red color without a vinyl roof. Its original numbers-matching 440 Magnum V8 is paired with a 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission and a 3.55 Sure Grip rear axle.
The Charger is documented by its original fender tag, which was decoded by Mopar expert Galen Govier, and the car is also listed in the appropriate registry. Its exceptional bodywork, glossy finish, detailed engine compartment, restored interior, and clean underside reflect the quality of the restoration.

EXTERIOR
The body is exceptionally straight, with square, flush-fitting panels and a smooth finish throughout. The door jambs and lower door surfaces are also clean and neatly painted.
The factory Bright Red finish has a deep, glossy appearance and is accented by a black R/T bumblebee stripe. The absence of a vinyl roof gives the Charger a particularly clean and distinctive profile.
The front and rear bumpers have been rechromed, the grille has been restored, and the hideaway headlights operate correctly. The rubber bumper seal is in good condition, and the door-mounted scoops feature new R/T emblems.
The exterior mirrors, door handles, window trim, and upper-door trim present like new. All exterior glass was replaced during the restoration. The pop-up fuel cap, rear lighting, and weatherstripping are also in excellent condition.
The Charger rides on extra-wide 15-inch Magnum 500 wheels fitted with BFGoodrich tires.
INTERIOR
The black interior has been thoroughly restored. The bucket seats feature new cushions and upholstery, while the door panels and armrests present like new. The carpet and tightly fitted headliner have also been replaced.
The dashboard is in excellent condition, including the dash pad, woodgrain trim, padded glovebox door, controls, and instrumentation. The Rallye gauge package includes a functional tachometer, and all gauges operate correctly, including the clock.
Additional equipment includes an original-style center console, a retro stereo installed in the factory location, Vintage Air electronic controls, embroidered R/T floor mats, a new glovebox liner, and an owner’s manual.
The dome light, console lighting, and glovebox light are all operational.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
The show-quality engine compartment houses the original numbers-matching 440 Magnum V8. The engine’s casting codes and production dates have been verified.
Performance upgrades include an aluminum intake manifold, dual-feed Holley carburetor with electric choke, ceramic-coated headers, and a high-torque starter. A dual-snorkel air cleaner with a 440 Magnum pie-pan decal preserves the correct big-block appearance, while chrome valve covers and a chrome alternator add a custom touch.
The distributor and ignition wires present like new. A recently installed Vintage Air heating and air-conditioning system provides modern cabin comfort. The engine retains a proper-style fan shroud and clutch fan.
The compartment is finished in gloss Bright Red, including the underside of the hood. The hood insulation, rubber seal, detailed latches, and hood-mounted turn signals are present. The wiper motor has been restored, the windshield-washer system is connected, and a new power-brake system has been installed.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT
The large, solid trunk was professionally stripped and refinished in gloss Bright Red. The underside of the trunk lid and surrounding jamb are also smoothly painted.
The trunk includes new weatherstripping, a replacement mat, and a jacking-instructions decal. A matching Magnum 500 spare wheel with a new BFGoodrich tire is included, along with a new correct-style jack assembly. A subwoofer for the upgraded stereo system is neatly installed in the trunk.
CHASSIS AND UNDERSIDE
The front suspension was completely disassembled, rebuilt, and detailed. New shock absorbers were installed at all four corners.
The underside of the engine is exceptionally clean and features fresh paint, new freeze plugs, a chrome oil pan, and a high-torque starter. The 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission also presents cleanly.
A new fuel tank and sending unit have been installed. The floor structure and frame rails appear solid, and the underside has been cleaned and refinished in black. Original drain plugs remain behind the rear wheels.
The braking system has been upgraded with front disc brakes, and the complete parking-brake assembly remains connected.
