This 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 440 is the hit T.V. Show Graveyard Carz Season 3 fan favorite known as the “70 Sunroof Challenger”.
This vehicle was most likely used as a sales and marketing promotional vehicle based on it being a special order and highly optioned vehicle.
Only a few Dodge 1970 and 1971 Dodge Challenger Sunroof Cars sales have been documented. This is truly a rare opportunity!
This rare 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 440 is the famous “70 Sunroof Challenger” from the hit T.V. show Graveyard Carz. This car is one of only 196 1970 Dodge Challengers shipped to the USA market and one of only 82 R/T models a with the factory power sunroof option M51. This vehicle is one of only 37, 1970 Dodge Challengers in the Mopar registry. This car was restored by Graveyard Carz which is documented with photos and videos from the T.V. show. The dash pad and inside trunk lid is signed by the Graveyard Carz cast during the time of the build. It was featured in the April issue of Chrysler Power magazine that is included.
The exterior of this car is in beautiful overall condition. It’s truly like eye candy with its sweet color combination. The body shell is all original with exception of the trunk floor. During the restoration the hood, fenders, doors and trunk lid were replaced. The body is very straight with great gaps throughout. The hood, doors and trunk lid close very nicely. The car sports its original color of Plum Crazy with a black rear stripe. This is one of the most desirable Mopar colors among collectors and enthusiasts. The PPG paint is show quality and virtually flawless. The paint color is complemented with a new black vinyl top that looks great. The vinyl top was installed by Larry of Larry’s interiors. The sunroof is barely noticeable with the vinyl top. The front windshield was replaced new. All of the remaining glass is original and in good condition with normal signs of age. All of the window trim was restored or replaced and is in very nice condition. The bright work on top of the doors and rear quarter is in good condition with normal signs of age. Everything on the exterior has been restored or replaced and is in excellent condition.
The interior of this car is also in beautiful overall condition. It’s very comfortable and well designed. It was restored in its original high grade black/white cloth and vinyl buckets. The upholstery is complemented with simulated wood trim on steering wheel, dash fascia, center console and door panels. The headliner was done just like the factory did around the sunroof which wasn’t perfect. The sunroof mechanism was serviced by MS CLASSIC CARS and works very nicely. Everything in the interior was restored or replaced such as the rear view mirror, gauges, knobs, switches, heating controls, steering column, steering wheel, door panels, door hardware, power windows switches, console, shifter, bucket seats, rear seats, seat belts, pedals and carpeting. The dash pad was signed by the Graveyard Carz crew which included Mark Worman, Allysa Rose, Dave Rea, Will Scott and Royal Yoakum.
The trunk compartment is also in beautiful overall condition. It was restored and finished in body color. It has a spare saver with tools and a factory style trunk mat. The bottom side of the trunk lid was also signed by the Graveyard Carz crew which included Mark Worman, Allysa Rose, Dave Rea, Will Scott and Royal Yoakum.
The engine compartment is highly detailed with many correct parts throughout. The car is powered by a period correct 440 CID V8 w 1x4bbl 375HP Magnum engine. From the information gathered the engine was from a 1970 Dodge Charger R/T. The engine was completely rebuilt on Graveyard Carz Season 5, Episode 5. It’s equipped with the correct style Carter AVS 4bbl carburetor that works great. “The Wise Vehicle Report” lists many of the engine compartment part numbers such as the block casting, block date, carburetor, water pump, radiator, starter, distributor, exhaust manifold, etc. The engine breathes through factory manifolds and a correct style dual exhaust system. The engine is coupled to a period correct Torque Flite 727 transmission. The power is transferred to the Chrysler 8 ¾ rear axle. The third member casting indicates it’s from a model year 1972.
The undercarriage is nicely detailed with many correct parts throughout. This undercarriage isn’t over done but still nice enough to display with mirrors at a car show. The floors were first finished in body color and then a portion was covered in the correct style black undercoating.
