Say what you want about the 1970 Charger, but despite the subtle changes inside and outside, the new model year remains a notable release thanks to the introduction of the famous 440 Six Pack.
The new engine was a monster, sporting three two-barrel carburetors for a power rating of 390 horsepower. The Charger truly deserved a massive upgrade, mainly thanks to its growing popularity, so Dodge made the right call and brought the 440 Six Pack from the Super Bee and the Road Runner to its new superstar.
Unfortunately, this flood of horsepower wasn't enough to reignite the market's interest in the Charger. The yearly sales continued to decline, this time to approximately 46,500 units.
A 1970 Charger still proudly wearing the original R/T tags is out from a long time in hiding, with the car seemingly ticking the essential boxes for a compelling restoration candidate.
However, as you'll discover in just a few seconds, this Charger fails to answer a few essential questions, making it a highly desirable but mysterious find.
First, the owner says the car spent 35 years in storage. A pile of metal sitting for nearly four decades in the same spot likely struggles with rust, but eBay seller dmnthng says it's not the case with their Charger. The car exhibits "very little rust issues," and while the body looks solid, with only surface damage, you should put the Charger on a lift and inspect the floors.
Second, the R/T continues to be all-original, with all numbers still matching. The VIN tags are in place, and the car sells with a title.
Let's move to the mysterious part.
While this Charger R/T rolled off the assembly lines with a 440 big-block unit under the hood, the seller does not reveal if the engine is still the one that came with the car. They claim the 440 runs strong, but it's unclear if the engine has already been rebuilt – considering a long time in storage, a seized engine wouldn't be a surprise, so we should assume the owner already conducted regular maintenance.
The provided photos do not reveal the interior, so the cabin is as mysterious as possible. It's unclear whether the seats are in place or the dash has already been cut.
Meanwhile, the Charger is getting a lot of love on eBay, with over 30 people watching the listing. However, the owner wants $29,000 for the car, seemingly more than most people are willing to pay. The Make Offer button has also been enabled.
If you want to see the Charger in person, you'll have to travel to Alpine, Wyoming. A trailer will also be needed, given the car doesn't seem road-worthy, so you can't drive it home on its wheels.
