E Body barn find

[taxspeaker]

OK guys looking for a little help here. We found a 1970 Challenger R/T in a barn tody (picture below) The VIN says it is an R/T and we are going tomorrow morning to inspect it closely. I know nothing about E Bodies-are the VIN's in the same place as B Bodies-radiator yoke and trunk? Do the R/T's all have 440's? What about gauges and rear end-are they DANA's or 8 3/4? It is an automatic. Any other guidance appreciated

70 RT did not come with a small block.  Later you could get a 340 in the RT I think 71 but in 70 RT was big block.  I am not 100% sure but I believe you could get a 383, 440, or a hemi in the RT trim.  I have owned big block E bodies and personaly think they were built to be powered by the 340 handeling qise

JS is an R/T , VIN is on the rad wall , left top of the cowl , not on the truck rail .
383 mag N code  is the base engine , 440 , 440+6 & 426 optional
Dana only with 440 or 426 4 spd , auto had 8 3/4 unless optioned in .
R/T had Ralley gauges , 4 pods , tach should be 8 K , 150 speedo , oil temp water & gas in one pod & clock in 4th pod N85 code
Could have 22 or 26 " rad

Well no news on the barn find-he cancelled our in depth look at the care last night-major storms in the area, so we are hoping to get up there tonight or early this week. Will post pics and info when we get some more stuff.

70 Moparman, don't you have a Challenger too. I think I met you before. Welcome to the site...You have almost 30 posts and only been here 2 days. Wow.

[ACUDANUT]

Yea, a 70.  I went to the challenger form but it sucked... This Charger Forum is MUCH better!!!     Don't own any chargers currently, but have previously owned a 68, two 71s, two 72s, and a 73 Charger before, if that gives me any street cred...    Always wanted a 69, but who doesnt.
