1970 r/t challenger owner in Australia
« on: September 18, 2016 - 04:20:06 AM »
Hi guys,

I own a 1970 R/t challenger here in australia.  Its a factory R/t 383 N code, 4 speed, A/c, tx9, h6e4 and delete stripe car.

It has had a color change by previous owner and is now plum crazy with black trim.  When i got it the engine was not matching numbers so i installed a 440 with a factory 1970 6 pack setup.

I absolutely lovethecar and there are notto many others over here.  Took me 3 years to find a manual 1970 r/t over here.  Anyway hi to all and look forward to being a part of the forum.

Hi cudamad,

Yeah i actually mean not to many 1970 R/t 's specially in a manual around not so much ebodys. I would have thought there would have been more e-bodys around than 82.  We have a few locally mainly 72 73 models.   I recently sold a chevy 55 2 door post and there was a hell of a lot more of them around lol. 

But stoked i found mine

What area are you from?

Welcome and  :useless:
