Possibly selling my 70 Challenger
« on: August 01, 2007 - 12:49:44 PM »
OK guys, I am putting this out here first because I trust your opinion.  I am considering selling my 70 Challenger, and I am looking to get $40k-$45k.  I want to know what you guys think.  This is not a need to sell situation, but if I sell it I would be able to help a situation out.  These are the specifics (alot is from what I was told about the car) and again opinions are welcome, and if anyone is seriously interested let me know and I will send them my number:

1970 Dodge Challenger
w/ rebuilt 1977 440 .030 over with forged "six pack" pistons
Lanatti performance cam 234 @50 intake/242@50 exhaust lift is .513 intake .533 exhaust
Edelbrock Aluminum Heads that were ported/polished and RPM intake also ported
Edelbrock 800 carb
Ceramic headers with 3 inch TTI exhaust
Just installed Ron Davis 26inch Aluminum radiator w/ dual electric Spal fans (say goodbye to overheating)
4 wheel manual disc brakes (front wilwood)
Now has 3.91 gears
suspension has addco sway bars 1 1/8 front, 7/8 rear
mopar performance torsion bars .960
Firm Feel Inc quick ration steering box
New XV motorsports tilt steering column
New rocky mountain dashes instrument gauge panel w/ new autometer phantom gauges
New pioneer CD player
New carpet and speakers
The seats sit a little high up, previous owner custom made brackets to fit him.

This car was in May 2006 Super Rod magazine shortly after I purchased it from the guy who built the car. 

I will attached more photos of interior and engine when I get home. 

Thanks again for looking and letting me know.

Auto or manual? Does it have a fender tag or broadcast sheet? What was the original engine?

Nice car, i'd love to have it, too much for me though.   :walkaway:

Yea, that would probably help.  Automatic.  727 with 3500 stall converter. 
Originally a 318 car.

Nice looking car, but that's a lot of money for a clone. Body and paint should be next to perfect, with nicely detailed engine and under side to justify that kind of money. :2cents: Good luck. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the info.  The underside is completely painted/coated, and the engine compartment is very nice.  The only thing I would need to do is clean up the wiring from the radiator install this past weekend.

Good luck with the sell, one of my favorite cars on the board :thumbsup:  Wish I had that kind of dough because I don't have the time to get mine done.  Post some more pics and let us check it out.

It's definitely a nice car.  :2thumbs:

Non-numbers matching hurts, and it's not exactly stock looking. I think your price range is reasonable though.  :2cents:

Beautiful car, but prices are starting to come down, and I think, as a clone, you'll have a hard time getting $35 out of it. Would help a lot if it were a 6-pack.

I would think between 30k to 35K. It is a nicely modded Challenger and some people would rather have a tastefully modded car vs stock.
 My car is similar to yours except you have much nicer paint. Mine has a bit more modifications than yours and is a real RT/SE. I don't think my car is worth much more than $30K.

Original 318 car.   Assuming its nice, detailed, finished out nice.   $30K tops.   You could find a buyer interested and motivated on the spot who would pay more.   But most people want a real RT big block car if their gonna spend over $25K.   I wish you the best of luck though.
