I'm sure a few of you remember me posting the 69 Hemi Road Runner that my cousin has.  http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,91498.0.html    Well as it turns out he also has a 70 Hemi Challenger, and according to his Dad he also has a Cuda but he didn't know if it's a Hemi or what year it is.

We kinda grew up together but I moved to Texas and he's now living in California. When I posted about the Road Runner he was back home here trying to sell it and even took it to Mecum auctions but didn't sell it.  Well his Mom called me today and said that Mike (my cousin) had sold a 70 Dodge Challenger he had and some trucking company is supposed to come by and get it within the next week, and Mike told her to call me to see if I wanted to come see it before it goes. She goes on to tell me that somebody by the name of Galen came by yesterday to check out the car to be sure it was legit.

Anyway, Sorry for the crappy pics but the doors were closed and I couldn't get a good shot of the whole car.

Wow if my cousin had a Hemi Challenger, I would make sure i new about it, You need to spend more time talking to your family members who knows what else they have. Now that's one that got away i hope he got the right money for it.

According to his Dad the car did have one repaint and you can tell, but other than that it is all original. 36,298 original miles.  His mom said that the guy that is buying the car is the one that got ahold of Galen and flew him out here.

I'm sure he did. He was asking $125k min for the RoadRunner and high bid was $100k. It's back in the barn.

did he acquire these when they first came out and just kept them there? 

Its one of those dreams we look back and say, 'damn wish I bought some of those and preserved them' kinda deal like buying stock from the 80s and cashing out in 2000 etc deal.

Very nice car. :2thumbs: Every time I see one of those trunk-mounted luggage racks I have to wonder if anyone has ever used one for its intended purpose.

I know he's not the original owner of any of them because he is real close to my age. I also know the Road Runner was bought in the 80's and according to what his Dad said today I'm guessing he's had them all for a long time, probably the same time frame.

I don't think he's in a bad position anymore. At least not in a "have to sell" position like he was.

Funny, even though I prefer blue mopars I like that Challenger much better. Probably because 69 RRs are not my favorite car.

I moved to Texas back in 78 before he got them. He moved to California but I have no idea when. I've only been back from Texas since fall of 2006 and just sold my house there a year ago last January, so no I didn't know about them.

My uncle bought a Limelight 70 Cuda in 94, I didn't hear about it til 2002, and even then didn't lay eyes on the car til 2009 so hey, it happens.

I just got an email and apparently Galen told them it was the only known 70 Challenger RT with a hemi and 4 speed known to exist. I'm always hesitant to believe things like that only because I've heard that only a handfull of 68 Chargers with a 318 and 3 on the tree were made, but I have one and have seen half a dozen others either on ebay or other places on the net.  I wish I could get him to tell me what he got for it. lol

You probably mean "with a luggage rack" or something along those lines. There are plenty of Hemi 4-speed 70 Challengers. More likely it has to do with the interior color. They certainly didn't make many Challengers with red interior - even without the Hemi!

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

401 scheduled production date with March on the door sticker, so for some reason the car was made early.

Well I'm getting my information from his mom who is getting information from him, which is part of the reason I said "I'm always hesitant to believe things like that"

Probably thinks it's none of my damn business... and he'd be right.  :lol:  I doubt he got ripped. He knows what these old cars are worth.
