I know owners of them being a Mopar guy myself, are you after one?
Yes, a 70 R / T model. Will probably source one from the States, but if a suitable one turns up here then great.Other details, 4bbl or 6 pack, if genuine, matching numbers or replacement engine ok, shaker or flat hood?

That does look good and if as said in the ad. is a survivor rather than a restoration, even better.But, its always something I find very dodgy (no pun intended), it says 'private sale', but the Ad. sounds like a trade Ad. a quick google of the mobile No. given and sure enough, lots of cars for sale, not all at once and always a different location given. So why hide being a trader?

Genuine R/T or clone, manual or auto, I'm guessing a 440 unless you are really feeling flush for a 426, although 426 clones are relatively cheap.
Other details, 4bbl or 6 pack, if genuine, matching numbers or replacement engine ok, shaker or flat hood?
Ideally a 70 R / T, manual if poss, but most were auto, a 383, PlumOther details, 4bbl or 6 pack, if genuine, matching numbers or replacement engine ok, shaker or flat hood?

My Late Dads 70 R/T SE Hemi, seen here in Esst London, in late 72.
It took 36 years to track this car down....
Good luck with your search

Apologies in advance but I simply cannot resist - I'm sure I said the same thing when you posted that fabulous photo in the period classics thread some time ago but.... ''your dad is Barry Newman and I claim my five pounds first prize''
Good luck with your search
Haha, nice one ! And yes, there is a similarity between them lol. Good luck with your search
I remember that car very well, even though I was just a nipper, the roof mounted seat belt used to cut across my neck and the car seemed Huge parked in suburban Chingford back in late 72 and riding in it, but as cars have grown in size, it no longer seems out of place.
In circa 1980, a pal bought a red 70 440 and we parked it up outside the house, where my Late Dad used to park the Hemi. The 440 made my Mums onyx green Cortina 2 Litre GXL look really small !

There's a nice-ish looking manual R/T 440 on Hemmings being sold by Fast Lane Cars, about the only 4-spd car on there at the moment. Has a 6-pack, but doesn't look to be an original 6-Pack car though.
Rare colour.

It wasn't until I started looking seriously into American classics a few weeks ago that I realised how mad Challenger prices are now, compared to other muscle cars.
