GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer for sale this STUNNING 1970 Dodge Challenger for your consideration. This is a beautifully restored example of the 1970 E Body, covered in HIgh-Impact Go Mango Orange with a nice contrasting black bucket seat interior. This is possibly one of the rarest Challengers out there and definitely one of the nicest. A meticulous, complete restoration has brought it back to almost new showroom condition. The drivetrain consisted of the infamous workhorse 225 Slant Six engine backed by a 3 speed manual transmission. During the restoration, a later model 4 speed manual with overdrive was added as an upgrade, but don't worry, the correct and perfectly restored 3 speed goes with the car at the end of the sale. This Unicorn is a stripped down Pony that only featured one option, and that is the EK2 paint code that was special order only. No power steering, power brakes, air conditioning... NOTHING! So, if you're looking for that one car that can be statement piece for your collection or are just wanting to buy one of the nicest E Bodies you will find, this is the car for you. Drive this one out of our showroom or have us assist with shipping it to you anywhere in the United States!
