1970 Dodge Charger R/T

1970 Dodge Charger R/T

The item you are bidding on is a numbers matching “S Code” 1970 Dodge Charger RT. With 45,000 original miles, his is a true collector’s item. Color is “Go Mango”. This color was one of the new “Hi Impact” colors offered in 1970 and is a head turner to this day. Almost every show I have entered the car in, he came home with a new trophy!!

She has the original vinyl top that that is showing its age, ut since I have owned the car, have treated it with Aerospace 303 protectant. I purchased her in 2013 after she had been sitting in a barn in Wisconsin for approximately 15 years. It has been quite the adventure getting her up and going again, ut it is time to part ways and move on to another project.
