Say what you want about the 1970 Dodge Challenger, but you can’t deny it was quite a looker, no matter if we’re talking about the base model or the R/T.
The first-generation Challenger entered production in the fall of 1969 for the 1970 model year, and was manufactured at two different plants in Michigan and California until 1974. This first Challenger was offered with a choice of three different body styles, namely hardtop, coupe, and convertible, all with just two doors.
The first-year Challenger that you see here is an SE model and was originally equipped with a 383-ci (6.3-liter) V8 engine which now is long gone. In other words, if you buy this Challenger, you get it without the original powerplant, though no other specifics have been provided in this regard, so we’re not told if you get another unit or no engine at all.
What we do know, however, is that it’s a non-running Challenger, and as you can see in the photos included in this article, it comes with occasional rust here and there. And this should be the top priority of the new owner, as getting rid of the rust would then make it possible to see what else needs to be fixed and replaced should a full restoration be planned.
The car is obviously offered as a project car, and it was originally a high-optioned model, as it came with air conditioning, power steering, and power brakes.
The interior looks pretty good, and many parts still seem to be there at first glance, with the owner explaining the car is 80 percent complete.
Buying this Challenger won’t be easy though, as the interest for it appears to be pretty high these days. Posted on eBay for an online auction, the Challenger has already attracted tens of bids, with the highest right now getting close to $8,000. The reserve, however, hasn’t been met just yet.
