SOLD 1970 Challenger Convertible 1 of 84 Factory 383 Automatics

[canadianclassics2]

Hi here is my 1970 Challenger Convertible `N` Code 383 Big Block NUMBERS MATCHING ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. Car comes loaded with options Power Top, Power Locks, Power Windows, Power Steering, Heavy Duty Suspension, Big 11-Inch Drum Brakes, Slap Stick, Air, 8-Track, Rallye gauges, Special handling Car. (All documented on the original build sheet). Basically the car is a base challenger optioned out like an RT. Factory FE5 Rallye Red with Red Interior and White Top. Car was purchased in Dallas Texas by the believed to be second owner and was sold by the second owner to the third owner with 51K miles in 1998. The third owner had it in Florida for a year then moved back to Tucson where it remained till 2010 when I purchased it with 71K miles. The engine is all stock and has never been rebuilt. The second owner repainted the car and restored the interior as well as a new NOS top in the 1997 and 1998 time frame. The dash was redone by Just Dashes as well as the original interior rear panels. Since I have had the car I have been collecting NOS parts for the possibility of a concours resto someday. NOS parts I have are: Complete Grille Assembly, Marker Lenses, Left Tail Light Assembly, Back up Lense, Hood molding, Trunklid and quarter panel molding as well as various other parts totaling more than $7,000.00. The build sheet also has an "S" before the order number and "Code Y76" which according to internet sites and people I have spoken to the was an Ordered Car sold to a "Chrysler Preferred Customer" Gelco Leasing out of Phoenix Arizona and later became GE Capital. It is unlikely that a loaded car like mine was leased out and may have been for a Gelco executive.

Overall the paint is about a 7 to 7.5 out of 10. Still has a nice shine, the odd chip on the door edges but no dents. (I am a very particular guy). To some they may think it is an 8 to 8.5. The car holds its own at cruise nights and car shows. The interior is in very nice condition and the original glass is too. The original grille is very nice with one minor ding (hardly noticeable). I had the bumpers rechromed in 2012 and added NOS bumper guards because I like the look. The pics are current. I have added Wheel Vintiques 15 inch Rallyes with NOS Sombrero Center Caps and rings, New Good Year tires and a white body line non-RT stripe. The chrome valve covers were on the car when I bought it. I have the original steel painted valve covers for it.

Overall the body is rustfree, dry and solid with all of its original panels. Still has the factory marking on the rear end and paint dab on the cowl near the master cylinder. Nice original big block numbers matching Challenger Convertible ready to go to a new home. For those interested I have the buildsheet scanned and can email it to you. Selling only because I wish to buy a 2016 Hellcat.

I am asking a reasonable $40,500.00 USD. The car is located in Bolton, Ontario, Canada. I can assist with shipping etc as I have done it a few times cross border. Send me a quick reply with any questions or PM me thanks. Todd

Very nice. Do you have more pics? A pic of the Fender Tag? Maybe pics posted to an online photo album like flickr or photobucket?

Your asking price of $49.5K, is that Canadian $$?

Post to your ad or PM me if you prefer.

Thanks!

Note the "S" before the order number on the tag, which is also shown on the buildsheet, denotes something of a rarity, or so I have been told by another member. The build sheet also has Code Y76 which was a Chrysler "Preferred Customer" code for Gelco Leasing out of Paradise Valley, AZ and now GE Capital. With these kinds of options on a base car it is unlikely it was for a lease but rather for one of the Gelco Executives but so far I haven't been able to substantiate that.
