Stumbled upon this stunning '70 Challenger RT/SE while surfing the net. Looks like it is part of an ad for Esoteric Auto Detail in Ohio showcasing their work - and some fine work they apparently have done with this car. Some of the pics in the photo set below are amazing in how they have made that paint shine. I really like the red horizontal RT stripe on this car - it's really striking and sets the car off just right. I'm not sure if I remember seeing another RT with the red stripe. The car has a 426 Hemi. Don't know if it is one of the original 60 made or a recreation. Whatever it is it sure is pretty. Is it yours?

Here's a Flickr link to 55 photos of the car

Is the Dodge logo on the quarter panel just back of the rear side window correct or an add on? I've never seen that before.

Actually, that's the "SE" emblem. You should see them there on all the RT/SE's

The "SE" edition cars had a smaller back window, different door panels with 'SE' script, a carpet strip and reflector at the bottom and an overhead console.

They also had a one piece headliner. The moulding package was part of the SE package.  I think bumper guards were also part of the SE package.  The seats were deluxe interior with leather or cloth insert.

Don't forget the rear tail light panel on SE models.

Is the Dodge logo on the quarter panel just back of the rear side window correct or an add on? I've never seen that before.

Also if you notice a sticker on the rear side window is a factory "Scat Pack" bumble bee quarter window sticker.  That's factory on the R/T cars for 1970 and I think for other years as well.
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

Don't forget the rear tail light panel on SE models.
The moulding package is the two door top mouldings, the two top quarter panel mouldings, the hood and fender edge mouldings (on the wind shield side of the hood and fenders, the rear wide tail light panel moulding, and the front valance opening moulding.  The SE also used a wider vinyl top moulding.

One of my friends had one like that but with the 440 engine.  Those cars are beautiful in black but show every swirl if you don't detail them properly.  So hard to detail an all black car like that.  Basically that is my dream car model except I'd take a 440 or the hemi.  Of course cars like that just aren't in my financial future but I still can admire via pictures.  Thanks for sharing it.

Is this the Swedish car? Is this car on Roland's Swedish Challenger site? Man that car is pretty! At first I thought there was some dents and damage to the left front fender before I realized that it is only reflections in what is a super-fantastic shine. Man that car is just glowing! :2thumbs:
