On “My Car Story” we're in Rosemont IL at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals on 11-18-21.
We’re looking at a 1971 Dodge Charger R/T in Hemi Orange Paint. The car features a 512 Stroker CI V8 engine, with a 4 Speed manual transmission.
The car's Owner is Bill Woessner. Bill’s had this car since 2019. Bill shares he has several 1970 Dodge Charger and although this one looks stock, he enjoys driving this one to “Surprise” a few people as this car has 600 Horse Power.

Man Lou that is one beautiful 70 Charger brother.
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-)
A "little special twist"........
A 600 hp Indy Crate engine!
What a fantastic example of a 1970 Charger!! His boy has his eyes on the prize for sure! One lucky kid!!😃
P.S. I love how he has the "Endless Summer" 8-track tape in the radio! Perfection!
Hi George S, Happy to share this "little special twist" with you :-) I think Will knows what he's going to be getting and will be a great Care Taker for this car, Lou
To me the 70 is the most refined of the 68-70 Chargers but any year Charger is great.
HI Chris, Happy to read you enjoy this Charger :-) Lou
As you said, Lou, "What a great car!". The styling of the 1968-69-70 Dodge Chargers was awesome. I especially like the 'flying buttress' detail at the rear window.
Bill's Charger is a fantastic restoration, and it looks great in the Hemi Orange paint. I was a thirteen year-old when his car was new. Time sure flies!
Lou, I would now like to thank you, your wife, and your son, for all the hard work you have put into making so many wonderful videos during this past 'challenging' year. Instead of stars, I am going to give you five thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍. Have a Blessed Christmas, and be safe and healthy. All the Best in the New Year!
Hi Mike, Happy to read you enjoy the styling of this car and appreciate the work that went into restoring it :-) Kind words on the videos appreciated. Blessed Christmas wishes received. Wishing you a blessed Christmas and a healthy New Year! Lou
I'd pay the full sticker price, no problems!68-70 chargers were just too cool!
Hi Richard, Thank you for sharing you enjoy this "too cool!" car :-) Lou
My eyes are loving the look of this car
8-)
What a beautiful 70 R/T Charger and the pistol grip makes some sweeet icing on that cake, wow. My biggest disappointment was missing out on a 70 R/T Charger when I moved to the Bay Area in 85…. How I missed out on buying that 79,000 mile Charger still escapes me since we agreed on a price. Always loved them and this one’s incredible ! 👍🏼
Hi Richard, Happy to read you enjoy this "incredible" car :-) Lou
Those colors, with the white bumblebee stripe, beautiful!
Hi Andy, Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Love this one! Hemi orange, 4 speed and big power. Sounds like a solid lifter cam? The best part is, as he said, non original motor so I can drive it. I would have gone Hemi instead of 440 though. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Hi Greg, Happy to read you "Love this one!' :-) Merry Christmas to you and your family too, Lou
Hi, Lou! The Clean Machine! The Supercar! The Beautiful Brute! With even more charge! This one will deliver the coup de grace to anything, and Legendary Auto Interiors did a magnificent job with the "pad"! I'm not surprised about this being the best Mopar on Woodward, this must have been a shoo-in easily! I trust Bill is doing a fine job of raising Will to be as much of a '70 Charger connoisseur as he is. Thank you all so much for letting us all in on the fun, and have a very Merry Christmas!
Hi iswc27, High praise :-) I believe Will will be the right Care Taker for this car too. You're welcome, and Merry Christmas, Lou
Wow! That’s a cool dad that will let you take out a 70 RT Charger as long as you bring it back in one piece.
Hi Dave, Pretty cool Dad for sure :-) Lou
Damn, that is a "bad boy", gorgeous car, muscle galore, all muscle, no "bull", truly Americana
High praise for this "Bad Boy" :-)
What a beast! I love it! It's hard to believe a Charger could be considered as a sleeper, especially amongst other muscle cars, but here it is. Thanks, Lou!
So true!
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Happy to read you "love it!" :-) My pleasure sharing this "Sleeper Charger" with you. You're welcome, Lou
Big Lou great content as usual glad to see you finding a lot of good cars keep up the great work big guy
Big Sinbad, Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) I appreciate your encouraging words, Lou
Fantastic Charger and you were right, great surprise under the hood!
And good advice to the would-be joyrider. This beauty has a lot of power.
Thanks for bringing this impressive one of one car to us Lou!
Hi Jeff, Happy to share the "surprise" with you :-) Glad to enjoyed the advise too. My pleasure sharing the cars with you. You're welcome, Lou
Probably should have said; as long as my son comes home in one piece. That is a spectacular car. I’am a Chevelle guy but I have to tell you. The lines on that look way better than any Chevelle that I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing/. Young man- your dad is awesome!
Hi Hawken Man .54, High praise for the design of this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
love the orange paint scheme, awesome "sleeper?" don't challenge this one at the stop light! love it, thanx lou!
Hi Mouse, Happy to read you "love" the paint scheme on this "sleeper" :-) You're welcome, Lou
The flagship of Dodge, Chargers are timeless.
Happy to read your thoughts on this car :-)
Sweet! Even starts like a Chrysler 😉, but that Tailpipe Krackle Music is more than payment for the Wait!
This young man is in rarified-air having an upbringing akin to a lot of us … seasoned viewers.
Thanks Lou 🙏.
Hi Richard, Happy to read you enjoy this "Sweet! car :-) You're welcome, Lou
600hp indy crate motor and 4 speed with the looks in and out nothing but some real fun
FUN = GOOD :-)
Too me the 68-70 Chargers are the best looking muscle cars of that era. This one is beautiful. Thanks for posting. Have a blessed day and Merry Christmas!!
Hi Gerry, High praise for the looks of this car :-) Blessings received. You're welcome. God bless you and Merry Christmas!! Lou
Thanks for posting another one of your excellent Mopar videos Lou and that '70 Dodge Charger R/T surely is one sharp looking and great sounding muscle car!
Hi JackFlemingFan, Happy to read you enjoy the looks & sounds from this Mopar :-) My pleasure sharing the cars with you. You're welcome, Lou
Knowing 16 year old boys and their 1st car I would not make it that one. Great car Lou Thanks for showing us this fine piece of history with some nicely added power.
Hi Newton, Seems the young man had been taught how to take care of it for awhile now, so I think he'll be ok :-) Lou
Absolutely beautiful car. Congratulations to the owner and his son for that desirable car. Lou, Thanks for all your videos that are an impressive work. I wish to you and family, happy Christmas and the best for next year.

Starts like a true race car.
Just the way we like it :-)
I love her ! Lou my brother watched your channel too ! We both loved cars he was one of the greatest mechanic in Nashville he was at Volvo and left early last week and fell dead in the parking lot ! I’m destroyed but he loved your channel as I do, thanks great muscle car 🚗
Hi Larry, Happy to read you "love her" :-) SAD to read your Brother passed. I've had 2 people pass away this month too. One of the reasons I do these videos is to leave a legacy of these great cars and the stories from the Care Takers about them for the next generation. Let's do our best to recognize were still here so God is keeping us here for a reason even if sometimes we don't know what it is in the moment. I guess that's why everyday is called "The Present". I wish you and your family peace and health this holiday season, Lou
@@loucostabile God Bless You and I only pray you keep finding these gems 💎 I thank you for your sympathy ! Amen 🙏
Another great video Lou. I was expecting a stick looking 440 to be under the hood but I sure was wrong. Love the color combo as well.
Hi PlymouthDuster225, Happy to read you enjoy this car, and thanks for sharing what you were expecting, Lou

Hi PlumCrazy_ TrackPak, Thank you for sharing the details you notice. High praise! Happy Hoildays!!!, Lou
"Creamsickle" kinda works, so does "Orange Crush" for anyone challenging this bad boy at the stoplights. We can all agree on "Winner!", right? Thanks for vid gentleman.
Hi Bruce H., "Orange Crush". Good one! You're welcome, Lou
Goodday Lou,
I wasn't going to wait till Xmas to watch this video. My all time favorite Charger the 1970 R/T 4 speed, Dana back end in Hemi Orange.
The cream vinyl roof & the white bumblebee strip just set it off so nicely. Did I hear right this gentleman has 7 of them wow.
Luck kid to be able to claim his trophy at such a young age.
Great video delicious sound as well.
Your number 1 Fan in Australia
Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍 ❤
Goodday Louis, You're right, Will is quite the lucky young man, and yet it seems he knows he's going to cherish this special car :-) Happy to read you enjoy the looks and sound from this car :-) Thank you for being my # 1 Fan in Australia, Lou
Wonderful! Hemi Orange is one of my favourite paint colors for a Charger... I wish you a Merry Christmas, my friend:-)
Happy to read you enjoy the color of this Charger :-) Merry Christmas my Friend,
Thanks for the nice Christmas present, Lou ! My favorite year for the Charger & color also.! The white roof & matching interior doesn't hurt, either. Then add the updated power with the "right amount of pedals " ,as you call it.... thanks you, Lou ,and the owner & his son for the cool Charger. Merry Christmas, Lou, to you & your family also!
Hi Kevin, My pleasure "present...ing" this car for you :-) Merry Christmas to you and your family too! Lou

Hi Bruce, I'd love to have so many of these I can share them with all the Viewers, however the best I can do is this video this year :-) Merry Christmas, Lou
Absolutely love the color
:-)
Es muy parecido al Dodge Charger del 69 de la serie The Duke of Hazzard (o Los Duques del peligro, como se la conoció por acá). Un impresionante auto, junto con un espectacular interior y color! Saludos cordiales!
Hi Jaime, Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Your a lucky guy 😉,this Charger is my favorite color!! 7 Charger's,that's Mopar Wonderful! My 72 Demon was Orange! Love this car!
Hi Christine, Happy to read this is a favorite color for you :-) Glad to read your Demon had this color too, Lou
Charger, HEMI, muscle car? I’ll take one in ALL BLACK!! Merry Christmas, Lou! 🥳🎉🎄🎁🤟🏾😆🎅🏾
Hi Gmoney, NICE ! :-) Merry Christmas, Lou
Merry Christmas, Lou!!
Merry Christmas Pappy Mc!!
Very cool!!!!
:-)
Absolutely beautiful car. No doubt a stroker motor.
High praise :-)
Nice Charger R/T!
:-)
Nice ride. I love the warning to Will. Right as rain.
Mentioned the '69 i bought for $750 in '77....the good stuff (383M, 727, sure grip).
Looked good but needed help.
Thinking i did OK then a good friend buys a '69 RT Charger for $350 !! I think it was someone they knew from church.
It wasn't as pretty as mine (Dk Brn, blk vinyl and 'daisies' vs coppertone and chomies) but it was in better shape.
'Those were the days, yes they were'. Cream.
Happy Holidays Once Again !!!
Hi Glen, Happy to read you enjoy this ride, and a little Fatherly advise too :-) Thank you for viewing & sharing. Happy Holidays, Lou

Beautiful car! I like the build! I too have a ‘70 Charger. I got it back in 1985 for $1200. It’s a factory 440 Six Pack 4 speed with the 3.54 Dana. I hope to get it back on the road soon! 😁
Hi drippinglass, Happy to read you enjoy the looks and build of this car :-) Hope your behind the wheel of your soon, Lou
@@loucostabile Thank you Lou! And thanks for bringing all these awesome cars to all of us! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Nice 😀 Merry Christmas
Hi Michael, Happy to read you think this car is "Nice" :-) Merry Christmas, Lou
@@loucostabile Thank you 😀
That’s one lucky kid
Wonderful to start with a car like this as your 1st one :-)
GREETINGS. From Venezuela. Mr. Lou, Thanks for Always Showing us the BEST AUTOMOBiLES in the World. ....................................EXCELLENT AUTOMOBILES VIDEOS. ................................................................................................................. Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Greetings Alejandro, My pleasure sharing the cars with you :-) I appreciate your kind words. MERRY CHRISTMAS, Lou
Beautiful car, great build. I only wish (as an old-timer Chrysler guy) that he could find some factory valve covers, but perhaps the valvetrain hardware/lift precludes that. And even though a big ole' Hemi or 440 6V would look great under the hood, this built RB with the U code on the tag handles itself just fine, I'm sure!
Hi Easy Going, Happy to read you enjoy this looks of this car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing suggestions too, Lou
At first, I thought this would be a boring car because we lived near a dealership when I was growing up. We saw these every day. However the engine is special! How does he keep the car on the road? Thank you for showing! 😄
Hi Jed, Happy to read you enjoy this "surprise under the hood" :-) You're welcome, Lou
love the sleepers.
too funny.I was 15 when I "took" my dads 73 dart 340 for a ride.
:-)
Sweet
:-)
Sounds sinister too!!
Agreed.
Perfection, wolf in sheep's clothing. Love it 😀
High praise :-)
Is it even possible to buy a car in the US now w/o a/c? Great thing now is that we have vintage air, a great system. Beautiful car, I remember these as I was a freshman in high school in 1970. Back when cars had color and people looked forward to the new car intros.
Hi LoveIsAll, I think they all come with air conditioning now. Happy to read this car brings back memories of Freshman year :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
This one definitely has that creamsicle vibe going on and it sure is looking sweet for sure!!! Ya just can't go wrong with a pistol grip shifted big block Mopar with a bumblebee stripe!!! Mopar or No Car!!!
Hi Hobiemarty, Happy to read you enjoy this "sweet" car :-) Lou
A classis Mopar body style!!
Happy to see you like this one :-)
chingon
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-)
I bet this baby will scoot with that motor!!
I think you're right.
Now can I get this Charger at North Pole motors with the 600 optional reindeer option ?? thanks Lou
That would be a nice surprise under the tree :-) You're welcome SuperJoes70
See if you can catch up with these guys when they can romp on that 600 horse Chrysler big block.
GIDDY UP !
I am jealous for sure. Looks perfect, that engine sounds soooo good!
Hi Kelly, Happy to read this one "Looks perfect" & sounds good too! Lou
👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
Happy to see you enjoy this car :-)
the clutch pedal is way over to the left. did manufacturers just repurpose the parking brake pedal from the automatic without any modifications for the clutch?
Hi Hugh Mungus, Hmmm, I'm not sure. Maybe a Viewer can help answer your question, Lou
😎 period ads and brochures!
Nice to see those with the car :-)
Every time I see a Pistol Grip Shifter it remind me of a my mothers cooking
:-)
👍
👍
What type of compression and this is a nice car
Not sure.
The radio looks like it came from a 1969. The 1970 RT I had didn't come with roller controls.
Hi Philip, Thank you for sharing what you notice, Lou
He owns 7 Chargers! I don’t even own one. 😢
I don't have one either :-)
Lifters sound like they’re knocking
Thank you for sharing what you heard.
under hood surprise i was hoping it was a 225 slant six everyone puts a hemi or a 440 in these things
Hi Michael, The 225 would have been a surprise and.....for a 16 year old new Driver, not a bad idea :-) Lou
That exhaust note said this motor isn't stock.
There is a little something extra :-)
4 speeds got it all ,over the automatics! Don’t like the sound of the start up??

Lou, ok, Love the cyclone’s
Awesome gorgeous 70 Charger. Glad it was a modern take on old school power and not a fugly Hellcat Hemi . I'm for going with a new take on old tech. Not the current trend to fully integrate modern engines into old muscle. To me an engine has to look good not just perform good. When modern engines of the late 70's and 80's were way down on power the trend was replace with older higher compression engines from days gone by. Now it's LS crate and modern Hemi crate or Ford Coyote engines in everything. 🤮🤢
Hi Dave, Happy to read you enjoy this "Awesome gorgeous" Charger :-) Lou
A hemi is a very complex expensive engine, very thermally efficient but too complex for garage mechanics, a 440 wedge makes good power much easier and for less $$$

Style died with the end of the vinyl roof !
Thank you for viewing & sharing.
Sounds angry, even at idle
Just the way we like it :-)
Hopefully Bill marries a nice gal (hopefully not a feminist) and has a kid or two, and then the car is passed on down to them. And then they have kids (who also do not marry feminists) to whom the car goes to and so on and on... That would be cool. And they'll all watch this episode of My Car Story! ... And maybe even read my comment. Who knows?
Hi Warner, Who knows? Lou
