Of all the mid-size muscle cars of the 1960s and ’70s, the Dodge Charger is the absolute coolest of them all. It had a starring role in “The Dukes’s Of Hazzard,” and then it also starred in a number of “The Fast and the Furious” movies.
These Chargers are in my option the very definition of a badass muscle car: great engines, dramatic styling, and are big imposing cars. A fine example of a top-tier 1970 Dodge Charger R/T is our AutoHunter Spotlight for today.
This car is powered by its legendary, numbers-matching 440 Six Pack V8. The freshly rebuilt engine is mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Finished in Light Gold Metallic with a white vinyl roof and matching “Bumblebee” stripe over a Black and Charcoal vinyl interior, it is offered by the selling dealer with a framed original broadcast sheet and clear title.
It is said to have received a complete restoration in 2019, with the seller stating that this Charger is one of 187 known V-Code 4-speed Charger R/Ts produced with Dana 60 rear end and 3.54 Sure Grip, according to the 1970 Charger Registry. Other features include the correct 14-inch Magnum 500 wheels that are clad in F70 Firestone Wide Oval raised white letter tires.
The interior of this Charger looks excellent, with correct Black and Charcoal vinyl upholstery, wood dash trim, center console with Hurst pistol-grip manual shifter, and factory AM radio.
Under the hood is where the awesome is most evident. The factory 440 Six Pack V8 looks correct in every way. If you are worried about power, don’t be as this engine produces 390 horsepower at 4,700 rpm and 490 lb-ft of torque at 3,200 rpm.
When you take a look at the Chrysler broadcast sheet, which is the build sheet in Mopar-speak, you’ll find that this car is exactly as it was delivered from the factory when new. Having that broadcast sheet with the car is important in verifying that the vehicle is correct and raises this Charger to a level higher than Chargers that have been modified over the years. To me it is the perfect car to take to the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals or any local show; it is also eligible for many regional concours events due to it being such a nice, correct, and rare example.
If you are looking for a top-tier muscle car, this vehicle is one you should seriously consider placing a bid or three on, but do so quickly as the auction for this 1970 Dodge Charger R/T 440 Six Pack ends on Friday, June 27, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. (PDT).
