1970 Challenger T/A
« on: June 01, 2015 - 08:50:48 AM »
Here is a 1970 Dodge Challenger Trans Am (T/A): 340 six pack. The Challenger T/A's and 'Cuda AAR's were built for the sole purpose to satisfy racing rules in which homologated street versions needed to be produced and sold, similar to the '69 Charger 500, Charger Daytona and the '70 Plymouth Superbird.

$60,000 or best reasonable offer....

* Top Banana Yellow with black interior

* 340 block - replacement with original T/A 340 block which is different and unique to the standard 340 blocks

* A-833 manual transmission with pistol-grip shifter ( original transmission )

* 3.55:1 Sure-grip

* 15x7 rallies with appropriate Goodyear Polyglas GT tires

* Rallye dash: completely restored

* am/fm radio: updated with new guts, sounds pretty good - rear speaker fader

* all sheet metal in great shape

* original hood

* original space saver spare with jack and air bottle

* power disc brakes

* power steering

* chin spoilers

* cranks right up and burrs great. Great running car.

* Underside is practically as clean as the top side

The reason I have it up is to eventually get a nice '69/'70 Charger R/T or '69 Charger 500 w/ 4speed, Superbird project, A12 Road Runner or optioned out '70/'71 Road Runner with air-grabber and 4speed. Trade would be of consideration as well for the right car. The T/A is a REALLY nice car, I'm just a B-body sort of fella, more specifically Chargers and Road Runners. If there are any questions, feel free to contact me via instant message, email or phone:

Seems like a real nice car for the money. 
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Replacement Block at $60k may be holding it back.  Whats the condition of the original 340 Block?

Not sure what you mean by holding it back with the replacement. But, I sold the car for $54,500. It is supposed to be picked up on Friday and then Saturday I'm heading off to get the car I want.... Regarding the original block, no idea. All I know it isn't with the car any more but it has a replacement 340 T/A block.....

Thanks Alan... I think it is a major win-win for myself and the gent from Detroit. I made enough green on the T/A to offset the amount I was previously short on ( and didn't even know it ) and the new T/A owner has a great car. Hopefully he'll be able to take it to Carlisle and enjoy it during the AAR/TA reunion. I will miss looking at the T/A in the garage next to the Daytona, it is a GREAT looking car. But, alas, the mopar-karma looked good on me, placed something on my lap out of the clear blue ( I actually knew about this car I'm getting many years ago, but totally forgot about it until the last second last Friday when all this went down ).

So, with this, the "Troy-trade" business of achieving a lifelong dream may be coming to an end..........

whenever you pick up the other car please post about it, I'm sure like everyone else they will want to see and hear the details about it.
Thanks

I have a feeling it won't fit into the "Cuda-Challenger" category :thinkerg:
