Description
1970 Dodge Challenger R/ T Magnum V8
First-production year Dodge Challenger R/ T Magnum with the large 7. 2-liter V8 engine and an automatic transmission. The Magnum was the largest displacement engine offered in the Challenger, producing 375 brake horsepower from the factory. Only 32185 indicated miles on the odometer.
The car is equipped with many desirable options from the factory, including air-condition, front disk brakes, Rallye gauge package, and center console.
Engine rebuild and a new transmission were installed in 2017 before the car was imported to Denmark. Service records from 2019 totaling over 4000 Euro, including a new battery, new wiring harness, ignition cylinder, ignition switch, and more, are included in the sale.
Originally a Texas car (documentation included in the sale), the car was imported into Denmark in 2017 and is coming out of single Danish ownership. The vehicle passed Danish Technical Inspection (Syn/ MOT/ TUV) and will not have to pass inspection until June 2025. An in-house inspection and service confirm that the car is in excellent mechanical condition and can be enjoyed as-is for many years to come.

History of the Dodge Challenger:
Introduced in fall 1969 for the 1970 model year, the Challenger was one of two Chrysler E-body cars, the other being the slightly smaller Plymouth Barracuda. Positioned to compete against the Mercury Cougar and Pontiac Firebird in the upper end of the pony car market segment, it was "a rather late response" to the Ford Mustang, which debuted in April 1964. Even so, Chrysler intended the new Challenger as the most potent pony car ever.
The performance model was the Challenger R/ T (Road/ Track). The R/ T was available in either the hardtop or convertible. The Challenger R/ T came with a Rallye instrument cluster that included a 150 mph (240 km/ h) speedometer, an 8, 000 rpm tachometer, and an oil pressure gauge.
