Actually they produced 2399 TOTAL Challenger T/A’s in 1970, not 2399 FM3 Pink ones. Very few of the cars were pink, there’s only about 67 known in the registry that are actual pink cars at the moment. Beautiful car though and good video.

God that Challengers engine sounds like music to my ears once you got it going correctly. Holy cow! Congratulations man!

10* morning + 50 year old car + Cold starts, and hold revs at 5000 rpm's = "Oil's in the pan, not in the engine". Next on DriveHub: We replace spun bearings in a half-century old engine.

I had a 1970 model Duster Twister 340 w/3spd standard in Panther Pick. It was very fast car. We changed the 3 spd for a 4 spd tranie. It had 150 mph on the speedo and I've had the needle on the stop way past 150 mph. She ran 13.60's in the quarter. Only mods. was headers and MSD unit and we rejeted the carburetor. I loved this car, should have never gotten rid of it. Thanks for taking me back to that place.

Congratulations- that is 1 beautiful automobile, I remember that car very well. Went to the SCCA Trans-Am race in Laconia when they were racing. I had a 6 cyl 1966 Mustang with a 3speed manual and a Thrush glass pack and thought I was dynamite.

i like the color great vid keep em coming

I am very late to this video but, I love the car!!! Please more old school muscle car videos.

Congrats Jon! Awesome car

Beautiful.

Dream Car.

would love to see more videos like this!

Beautiful car. I would lowered a bit if it were mine. I had a '70 Challenger SE and I lowered it a bit and man it made the stance look real mean and wide.

And I’m the opposite. I like the higher stances. The way they had them on the streets in the 70s/80s. And if it doesn’t have stock rally rims or steel w/dog dish caps, id go with 70s/80s CRAGAR SS

Finally another young dude with a 50 year old car. I got a 1970 454 corvette, love the challenger though, its a whole different driving experience when the car is 50 years old.

Damn that this is awsome

WOW! That is awesome! Was I the only one screaming at the car "come on baby" but once she did, just listen to that rumble! Now the question everyone wants to know, what did you pay for it?

looks like the time was out a bit. great car!

Nice car, can't miss it driving down the road

NiCE!!!!! 🙌🏾

@@DriveHub omg yes!

so many youtubers buying dream cars making video, this shit will never seem like its "not" bragging

That’s my dream car

VERY cool car. Around that time something very close to 290hp became a very common number for high performance cars. It's the same number as the Boss 302 Mustang...also underrated. I suspect it has something to do with the massive insurance costs which were just as big a factor in killing the original muscle cars as government regulation. Of course you can blame it on insurance, but bad brakes, tires, and handling led to expensive insurance.

Challenger could use a set of studded snow tires, but it looks great!

Nice car

badass ride! loved the gf comment lol

No choke on the center carb? Not 100% sure but it may idle on center 2 barrel and then all 6 when floored?

No doubt an awesome car...I prefer the Plymouth version AAR Cuda but I won’t quibble...I’m not a fan of the “pink” but 🤷‍♂️. It’s very rare for a reason. I was a junior in high school when these cars were new It’s hard to believe my high school parking lot had several AAR CUDAS Super Bees Road Runners, GTO, Chevelles Mach 1 ...I still have my 69 Road Runner from a couple years later. The T/A has all the Mopar issues I think it has bad gas, or bad ground lead or a dead spot in the starter...all minor everyday stuff back in the day...I used to hate the starter sound...now I love it...great video, it would be great to see more of the same.

Sounds like bad ignition switch or starter solenoid and that center carburetor needs attention (bad needle and seat). Check the grounds also.

Just got it off the trailer, but I’m betting the starter is hung up. Give it a few good taps with a hammer and watch it start. I’ll wait to see if I was right 😉

first!!!

Beautiful car. Watching all that raw fuel and ether dumped down in the cylinders was truly painful. Maybe take it inside first and have a thoughtful plan for waking up a car you just paid tens of thousands of dollars for. Just my humble opinion.
