1970 DODGE CHALLENGER RT SE 440 53000 ORIGINAL MILES AUTO AIR U CODE

 Hi and thanks for looking. This is a great and original 1970 RT SE 440 U code Challenger. I am the third owner. The first owner from Washington State drove it from 1970-1981 and put on 53000 miles on it when he sold it to another gentleman in eastern Oregon where it sat in his personal from 1981-2004. I bought it in 2004 and it has sat in my heated garage since then and it now has 53700 miles so it has sat about 33 years. The good thing about that is it has not gotten all beat up over the years but the bad is everything leaked from drying out gaskets. So last year I started going through everything starting with the original engine. I sent it to a speed shop in Phoenix that does a lot of Mopar engines and had it baked . umbled. ored out with new pistons. ings. ew purple 484 lift Mopar cam and lifters. The complete assembly was then balanced plus all new cam. od and main Clevette 77 bearings and Melling high volume oil pump. The 906 heads were completely gone through with hardened seats and new springs. eepers etc. Also had the original Carter AVS carb rebuilt. The motor runs great. Next I had the 727 automatic rebuilt with a shift kit and new torque converter and it shifts great. Next I had the original rear end taken out and cleaned and resealed. It has the 489 case and Sur-Grip (Positrac) with the 3. 55 gears. I then put new shocks painted black just like the originals were. I then put in a new exhaust system just like the original that was removed with the resonators and all. The tips are the original ones. I also put in a new gas tank and straps. I had the power steering box rebuilt the power steering pump rebuilt using the original casing. I also had the front suspension rebuilt with new upper and lower ball joints. ushings. ie rod ends and connectors and also had the front disk brake calipers rebuilt with new brake hoses and had the front end aligned. Then went through the entire AC system with rebuilt pump. ew drier. ew condenser. OS heater valve. ew heater core and had the evaporator cleaned and checked. also rebuilt the ac heater box with new foam kit and it looks great. This car also comes with the very rare space saver spare and jack assembly. The windshield was replaced a long time ago and is tinted as are all the rest of the original windows from the factory and they all look new. Inside the car is almost all original except for the new Legendary seat covers and foam that matched the original I took out. I still have the original seat covers that go with the car. The upholsterer through away the drivers seat because it had a tear in the seam but you get all I have. I also put in new carpet from Legendary but have the old if you want it as it was kind of faded. I also put in new door sills but everything else is original like the headliner door panels. ick panels. console. dash. rim blow steering wheel which I had redone by Mopar wheels in Arizona and they did a great job and the horn works great. The dash has never been out and all the gauges work fine but the clock will work for a couple of days and quite for a day so it will need cleaned at least and there is a small crack in the dash top by the center speaker. It also has a thumbwheel AM FM radio that works. This car has 2 fender tags. This is from Galen Goviers report starting with E86-440 1-4 barrel 375hp V8 engine "440 MAGNUM" .

Also the original buzzer for the key and if you leave the lights on still works fine. So here is a super nice and original 1970 R/T SE 440 U code with original paint and motor and almost everything else. I have driven this car about 390 miles in the last month and it is a blast which is 390 miles farther than it has been driven in the last 35 years. If you are looking for an rare and original R/T SE 440 that looks just like it did in 1970 and has not been all rusted out or a 318 car with a 440 or new hemi installed and all hacked up then this car is for you. If I have forgot something you can call me at 208 863 1430 my name is Doug. I am very realistic on the price for such a nice car. I am selling it because my daughter is getting her license and so there will be no room for this classic at my shop or home. I may be interested in a newer VW beatle conv. or a newer VW Jetta as partial trade. Thanks
