anyone have any rt emblems for sale?
also, the only rust it has is in the trunk, so i will need a new trunk,  anyone have that???



thanks again guys and gals

[Brock Samson]

[Big Lebowski]

Cool car. And they all had/have trunk rust (except garaged Hemi cars), but it's no big deal fixing it. I'd go back to B7, it's an awesome color.

[The70RT]

Congrats.  Looks like a pretty solid car. Are you planning on going back original sometime? Whoever thought of that door hande thing

yeah, i wasn't to upset about the rust,   

and is b7 the blue color?

i was trying to figure out the color, but couldnt

[kylem4711]

Congrats.  Looks like a pretty solid car. Are you planning on going back original sometime? Whoever thought of that door hande thing   

my thought exactly,  its just hard to open the door.  ha

i am thinking about shaving the door handles,  it seems like that would be easier. 

also, those mud flap things are coming off also.
   

lastly, i have noticed people always say this is a 1 or whatever car.  how do i figure that out?

[terrible one]

Haha man that's wild. LOVE the slots though! The wing looks like it should be facing the other way to me. Are those "mud flaps" just fiberglassed/bondo'd onto the quarters? And the door handles. . . why?! Haha but still dude, awesome car. How much did you pay?

[BMOTOXSTAR]

 

[71ChallengeHer]

Congrats

i dont like the wing either...
yuup, they are just bondo's on,























i paid 10

[Forza]

Man that is an awesome score! Congrats man thats one good lookin car, even with the wierd upgrades the previous owner did.

[68charger383]

Congrats on the score, are the slots on the side for dual antennas?

[70charger_boy]

Congrats, It's a '70.  I actually like the mods, but one big thing I noticed is the rear quarters have fiberglass all around the wheel whell.  You might be in for a very big surprise, on the back half of the car.  The wing is nice, sell it to me!! 

[Charger_Croatia]

Congratulations!

[Charger-Bodie]

awesome B7  70 R/T!!!

[TruckDriver]

LOVE the slots though!

[charger Downunder]

Nice car good find Y09 EXPORT car too.

[400/6/PAC]

Nice score

[Hemidog]

Man, i almost spit out my coffee when i saw those door handles! FAR OUT!!
Nice car though! 

[hemi68charger]

nice score !!!  What are your intentions? Looks like you have some work to do...... A B7 car with black 4-speed interior, nice combination..................

Between you, me and the fence pole (well, everyone else here I guess), those door handle recessess have to go along with that NASCAR Car-of-the-future rear spoiler.. 

Have fun !!!!!

troy

[PocketThunder]

Whatever you do, make sure you keep the antenna location the same!                                             

[dodgecharger-fan]

Those sure are some whacky mods... not too tuff to deal with though.

Congrats!


I think you're right about shaving the door handles - it might be a lot easier - unless you;ve got some extra doors lying around...

Keep us posted on your plans and progress!!

[chargerman68]

nice score

my intentions are to get this to be a reliable driver and drive it everywhere!!!    no show cars for me.   it will be nice,  but these cars were made to drive.

and i agree on the door handles and the spoiler.    haven't you noticed how much i hate them. ive only said it on every post ive made.  ha   


im gonna shave the handles, cover the antenna holes, take out the spoiler, and remove those mudflaps.


i am also going to put in a 440,  and probably be getting about 450 horses.   this baby is going to puuuuurrrrrr

[kylem4711]

also, no one has let me know how to figure out how rare this car is.

for example,   i would like to be able to say that this is a 1 of whatever car.

even if its not super rare, i would still like to know.

Go on the 1970 Charger Registry and post about your car.  they will tell you every thing you want to know!  Those 70 guys are nuts..

  great car  great score

[kylem4711]

thanks man

[Khyron]

Very nice car! congrats! 

now first, remove that spoiler

second, send me those deep rear slots 

[kylem4711]

second, send me those deep rear slots 

huh?   

[dodgecharger-fan]

slotted mags - purty

[Joshua]

Dude....that car rules! Looks like it was a show car during late 70's-early 80's...except for that wing....that looks added on after it was painted white.
What color is in the door jambs? I'd carfully sand the car down to the next layer of paint.....may be some wild graphics/lace/ freakdrop paint tricks under there!
If you decide to restore it back to stock, or close to stock by removing all the mods, be sure to take lots of pics.
Sometimes I feel these old customized cars should be kept as they are (or brought back to former "show" GLORY)....to a degree, regardless of their "rarity", R/T, Hemi, etc....it's a part of our automotive "history", so to speak.....
Not all of 'em....some are real abortions....this one doesn't "appear" to be....hard to tell from pics.
There are a pair of '68/9 GTX cars in the area that are old show cars....LOTS of chrome, airbrushed murels everywhere (BAMBI!...hahaha) T-Tops cut into the roofs, swivel bucket seats, lots of velour.....neat cars. Not everyones cup 'o' tea, but a cool "look back" to what was done back in the 70's.....

Yeah...................I'm WEIRD......

[Blakcharger440]

I also have a 1970 Charger RT 440 4speed car and originally it is FE5 Red with black interior and vinyl top. My Chrysler production code book  listed these particular optioned cars as 1 of 1400.

By the way your car looks awesome and I like the vintage slotted wheels!
My car is currently getting the Pro Touring treatment and i will drive it on the Hot Rod Power Tour in 08'

[OldGuy]

Are the headlight doors painted silver or is it just a reflection

[Joshua]

Looks like overspray from the quickie white paint job.......

[evil1]

Nice car, but how do you put gas in it?

[The70RT]

Nice car, but how do you put gas in it?

Wow. I never noticed before. I'm sure he will put that back. I think the Charger has the coolest place for a gas cap.

[tan top]

good deal   ,  mmmmmmmmmmm  slot mags

[moparstuart]

  wow  why on earth would they ever take the gas cap out    stange

[Tom_440]

Nice ride!!! Other than the wing, the 'old school' stuff is cool in a wierd way. Gotta drive the wheels off it!

[kylem4711]

Nice car, but how do you put gas in it?

finally someone noticed that there was no gas cap!!!!!


the charger has the coolest one, so thats gonna go back for sure.

and to be honest, i dont particularly like the mags.

might put them up for sale so i can put some torq thrusts.

i think i decided to make this car how i like it, because i dont think i will  be selling it anytime soon

[Chris G.]

Those 70 guys are nuts.. 

I resemble that remark...thank you very much. 

Sweet car man. B7 was not a very common color. Add the hardtop, and it's even better (IMO). If you want to get a better idea of how it looked in EB7 (dark blue), click here... http://1970chargerregistry.com/Misc/Colors.html

Good luck with it, and lose that spoiler ASAP. 

[Charger_Fan]

Looks like the headlight doors were in the open position when they sprayed the car. It probably slipped in past the hood & the rubber.

The gas cap...huh.  I didn't even notice that on the first pass, I was too busy looking at the mud flaps & door knob.
A couple of those pics are going in my oddball Charger stash.

Kyle, congrats on being a proud '70 owner...the finest 2nd Gen Charger made!

Can't believe I had to edit CF's post  . Did you really think another Gen(meaning all years) Charger stood a chance?

Damn, what was I thinkin'??

[472 R/T SE]

Right-on.  Got yourself a cool ride.  I once had a Dana 4 gear R/T.  They're a kick in the pants rowing thru the gears.  You lucked out as yours is optioned as a console 4 gear.  That's way cool.
Go to the Registry to break down the percentages on how many were made optioned out like yours.  Have you looked for a broadcast sheet yet?

ha,  are they worth something? should i hold on to them?

[SeattleCharger]

That's a really neat souped-up zoomin' boomer you got there!!      

[Brock Samson]

Few folks seems to be getting the slots any more, they are now being rebopped and are period correct for after market wheels.
the wide "deep dish" rears are hard to find,.. I'm running them currently on my Road Runner, Pic enclosed..
..polished up and with new centers and lugs they look great. IMO.
I think it's a funky ride ya' got but the flaps and spoiler are horrible, the door handels and antenna holes are kinda' charming in a off beat kinda' way..
really needs a gas cap, i didn't notice it being gone either... where is the gas cap now?... 

Some of the mods that some folks make to what was a very nearly perfect Muscle car make me wince.
