Fantastic car Lou, how nice to see a Hemi that's done 151,000 miles, so he really enjoyed and used it over the 47 years, must be one of the higher mileage Hemis still existing and still on the road being driven occasionally 👍👍👍
Happy to reads you enjoy this car :-) Me too lyonheart84 UK exotic fruit growing enthusiast.
Bienvenue Rene. Merci beaucoup.
Nice :-)
@@loucostabile Translation: Welcome Rene. Thanks very much .
I love when the color of the interior matches the color of the car when it haves a special paintjob and this one is definitely special
Happy to read you enjoy this car :-)
Back in the day I took a used 3 year old '68 Charger to my Mom to test drive... metallic turquoise with white vinyl top and white interior... 318" V8 automatic... I thought it was gorgeous... but my Dad said too much money... never forgot that car...
What a beauty. Sounds like she'd rather be tearing up the street. Great feature Lou
Hi FUBAR Model Yard, Happy to read you enjoy this episode :-) Lou
That is one straight charger great gaps, B5 blue and love the blue interior. All the wood grain and blue inside look classy!

Hi Parcours Extreme 4x4 Thetford
, Nice :-) Hope you see many more cars on this TH-cam Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
Lou you are addicted to Hemi engines and their distinctive sound and blue Chargers. Not a bad addiction.
....I think you're right :-)
Fantastic, Lou! That was an interesting tip about the hemi badge placement on Canadian cars. What they should have done was placed it above the taillights because that's probably the only view you will get if you encounter this car on the streets!
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, I thought that was interesting about the Hemi badge too. "should have done was placed it above the taillights because that's probably the only view you will get if you encounter this car on the streets!" NICE ! Lou
I've seen plenty of '70 Chargers, but never one like this. Thanks for another great video.
Hi Nick S, Happy to read you enjoy this Charger :-) You're welcome, Lou
Another great car, Car Story and video!

Hi Jeff King, Happy to read you enjoy this episode :-) I like this one too. You're welcome, Lou
That's a beautiful car there nice in blue the hemi sounds great too. The interior looks great also interesting info about the hemi badge I never knew about that.
Hi Pete Medina, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Me too. I didn't know about that badge either and thought that was interesting, Lou
Amazing car. Growing up in Texas back in the 70's the only Hemi's I remember seeing were at the dragstrip. Never saw one out in the wild on the street.
Hi AMC401 Nash

Hi Motorhead Banger, Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) Me too. Glad you're along for the ride, and you're welcome, Lou
Another grand slam Lou. I like 68 and 69 Chargers best, but this is a beauty. Love the colors. Blue interior is beautiful. I agree that interior is too nice for 151,000 miles. He took exceptional care of these car. 50 years old and still better looking than any junk made today.
Hi George Mattar, High praise :-) "50 years old and still better looking than any junk made today." NICE ! Lou
I'm in love with this car! DC's are awesome sauce on wheels, especially this vintage one! Excellent, Lou!

Hey Lou this car brings back great memories 😁, my 2nd grade teacher had one same color and let the whole class go out and take a look at it was a cool thing for an 8 year old,, thanks so much for sharing this with me and"Howdy from Texas 😁"!!
Hey Greg from TX, Now that's a Teacher who know's have to give a good memorable lesson :-) Lou

Lou presents another unicorn . Nice car . Thanks for posting .
Hi Bud Lee, Thank you for the wonderful comment :-) Glad you're along for the ride, and you're welcome, Lou
Wow he's owned it for 47 years. I admire peole who have held on to valuable cars like that. My best freind
got a 1974 Jaguar XKE from his parents when he graduated H.S. and he's still got it. Tough car to keep with all it's mechanical issues. Another great video Lou!
Hi Randy Tompkins, Agreed, pretty cool when people take care of there "Special Cars" :-) Sounds like your Best Friend is enjoying the looks people give for the High School car :-) Lou
Good morning Lou. Nice car for a weekend ride. Let's roll my friend!
Hi Eagle Whitefeather01
, "Let's roll my friend!", little bonus info, I was able to drive this one too, really nice :-) Lou
I think B5 blue was refered to as "Bright Blue Poly" in some of Chrysler's sales literature. This car was beautiful and Rene was obviously in love with it.
Hi Mighty Lonesome
, Thanks for the tip on the color. Rene is the right Care Taker for this car, Lou
@@loucostabile
You may want to verify that color Lou but I'm pretty sure that's correct.
I love this one, Lou! It sure does scream! Love seeing the Canadian cars. We're Mopar nuts up here for sure. Nice trivia on the Hemi badge placement, too! That info was new to me and it makes you wonder about all of the other region differences out there.
Keep 'em coming! Thanks for posting.
Hi Goola Mamuda, High praise for this car :-) Thank you for the encouraging words, and you're welcome, Lou
Just a note about it being a Canada car. The Windsor Plant in Ontario ( South of the Detroit river) didn't make the Charger until 1975 which shared the body for the Cordoba at that time .
The VIN info shows the XS29 (RT) R (426 ) 0 (1970 ) and the G for the St.Louis Plant . Canada would have also gotten the Michigan Plant Chargers from Detroit Lynch rd ( A ) and the Hamtramck outsdie Detroits border ( B ) .
The good news about US exports to Canada is that Transport Canada had to be given a detailed sheet for every option on that model on top of the VIN id , that record was better than the Build Sheet by the Code descriptions that confirm the Buck tag or door plate codes .
About 5 years ago i saw a video where someone came to canada to check out a 67 Vette with a 4 spd 427. The seller had the Import Sheet to match the car because it was still in the files to buy a copy from Transport canada .
The USA sales had the Dealer Invoice copy which is needed today if you can't find the Build Sheet and you want to ID a special rare car to filter out the clones. FORD had a problem though in late 1961 when the built the 1962's Thunderbird Roadsters because there was no Code for them on the first 550 or so that had only used the Convertible body code 63A and Model Id 85Z . The dealer documents or purchased agreement is pretty well needed to spot a 1962 clone but the VIN sequence number must also be above 105843 while only 7 colour of the 18 were used and most were ragoon red with Black interior.
In early December the 63B now would ID the Roadster plus the 89Z as the VIN numbers were now just over 105700 .
Even those 61 produced Roadster shipped into canada would still have the Import Data sheet to prove it had all the upgrades and correct colour .
Excellent.
HI Gary wood, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge, Lou
i love this car !
Hi lucas medeiros

The colour got me too.
1970 Charger R/T SE Hemi what's there not to like, the Holy Grail my favorite Charger with the ultimate combo, thanks Lou for again pushing the bar high one more time & finding these absolutely stunning Mopars.

Great car, awesome story!
Hi 20alphabet

That’s a true beauty I love the chargers
Happy to read you enjoy this one :-)
That sound always brings a smile to me American muscle never disappoints I enjoy your channel lou hope u keep going thank u!
Hi Danny Al, If you like the sounds of American Muscle you've found the right TH-cam Channel :-) You and I are going to be having lots of smiles and fun together. My pleasure sharing with you, and you're welcome, Lou
Thanks Lou I watch your videos and I just imagine fixing my 79 z28 to cruise with my son one day he also likes American cars
He has that engine running perfectly. Its quiet for a Hemi and idles nicely. He purchased at the right time, during the oil embargo. Around that same year a friend of mine purchased a Boss429 from a used car dealer for $2800. Original owner got too many tickets so the wife said the car had to go.
Hi Rick, Happy to read you enjoy this Hemi, and you're right, a very well manored motor for this car. Timing is very important, and buying low allows you to be fortunate later if the market goes up. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Great looking car Lou.
Hi Big Charlie's Model Garage

Awesome Car 🚙
Hi David Terry, Happy to read you enjoy this "Awesome Car" :-) Me too, Lou
Partial to the '69s since i had one but this '70 is a beast !!! Great he's had it all these years.
Interesting bit about the Canadian models.
'81, we go to Wa state for a family reunion. Had some time so take the ferry to Victoria. In laws, Butchart Gardens.
Us, just a stroll thru town for lunch. Surprised how many Pontiac Catalina's i saw badged Parisienne's. Four, if memory serves. Slightly different trim, but...
Pretty awesome memory.
Thanks for the Charger and trip 'back' ;)
Hi g mat, Understand why you'd be partial :-) Happy to read this one this brings back awesome memories, and thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

can't believe you've been sitting on this since july. love that blue! EARLY edition, with '69 tail light assembly! nice. renee didn't have the obligatory "trunk treats." ..perhaps he didn't get the memo. good sport nonetheless. fantastic post, Lou!!
Hi Scott Brady, It's like desert, you save some of the tasty treats for last :-) High praise on this post and glad you're along for the ride, Lou
The luxury/hot rod combo was what the Charger was all about. Great car!
Hi Ray S, Glad to read you consider this one a "great car" :-) I think so too, Lou
Awesome!!
:-)
Hey Lou, you always showcase beautiful cars and from all the makes but being a Mopar fan, this car is the icing on the cake! And I like the HEMI badge location better than the US cars! It is almost where Dodge used to put the 383 MAGNUM, 440 MAGNUM and 426 HEMI badges on the 1966-'67 cars, if I remember correctly! And maybe again in 1970 with the 383 MAGNUM Super Bee and Coronet 500 too, I think! Thanks for your videos, Lou!
Hi Olias Of Sunhillow, Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) I like this one too. Glad you're along for the ride, and you're welcome, Lou
Wow,i love that option on 70 dodge and plymouth,👍

Man, that elephant sure sounds angry when he revved it up. Certainly a most beautiful car.
Nice :-) Glad you enjoy the sounds from this car.

Hello,your charger looks great,Ive always liked the the white vynle top with the b5 blue,to me its the best looking cars ever.thanks
HI David King, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
Nice car I love it 😍
Hi Ammar Dukmak, High praise for this car :-) Lou
Sweet!
:-)
Winner Lou!
Thank you Joseph :-)
Love the color and the options I would have opted for air conditioning too but hey beggars can't be choosers. Such a neat body design I like that and those headlight with that are driven by a motor so much nicer than vacuum.driven. I noticed his seat is gonna need some work but hey a beautiful car thanks for sharing Lou!
Hi Steve Flad, Glad to read you enjoy this car :-) When you picked the Hemi option, air conditioning was not an option. Thank you for viewing, commenting, and you're welcome, Lou
Oh I did not know that Lou! Thanks for telling me.
He has owned other rare Mopars too, the only 1970 white int plum crazy Hemi Challenger convert and a 1969 Hemi GTX convert and now has a 1960 D500 Dart convert. Unfortunately his wife of MANY years passed last winter, he is a very nice man.
Hi Raymond Pauze
, Hope in the future to share some of those car you mention. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
@@loucostabile Rene is friends with Ray Dupuis whom you featured his 66 Belveder 1, 66 Hemi Coronet 500 and his girlfriends 67 440 GTX convert
Thank you for showing this gorgeous example of 1970 r/t s/e charger. It's the best of the 68 & the 69 & a hint of what was to come in 71. It's in my top 10 number 1s. Yes my number 1 has atleast 10, if I ever won a lottery I'd have a hard time picking a car besides plum crazy 71 charger r/t with ramcharger hood black stripe, black full vinyl top & black interior. HEMI 4 speed Dana 4.10 sure grip. But if it was a 440 4 bbl auto I'd be more then happy.
Hi Korie Creson, High praise for braking the "Top 10" barrier :-) Lou
Nice 😀
Hi Michael Coffey, Glad to read you think this car is "Nice" :-) Lou

Nice car.

Good to see original paint colors. B5 blue is the only blue I like period, awesome mopar color and by the way its an original Hemi!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Mad Hatter, Happy to read you consider this car "awesome" :-) I think so too, Lou
WOW 😲😍 WOW!!!!
Hi FROGMAN78 , Happy to receive two "WOW's" from you :-) Lou
So he paid $ 3 grand, worth around 50x that today ? Also I wonder if a Canadian built Charger is worth any more than one built in the US ? What a special car & a nice gentleman 👍
All 70 Chargers were built in the U.S., specifically at the St. Louis plant. What makes this a "Canadian" car, is that it was built for Canadian export (see code Y07 on the fender tag); meaning after assembly it went directly to Canada to be sold at the Canadian dealer who special ordered it.
@@jtp336 thanks for the info I knew GM built Chevelles in Canada & thought maybe Chrysler did the same with some of their models . According to that car's VIN shows 7th digit G .. it's built St. Louis as you mentioned..
. Looks like they're building the chargers in Canada now ..www.hagerty.com/articles-videos/articles/2019/05/15/american-muscle-cars-built-in-canada
Hi Florida Scot, Happy to read you enjoy this "Special Car & nice gentleman" :-) Glad you're along for the ride, Lou
Yeahhhhhhhh!!!!!

Nice Canadian Hemi car, that engine is not easy to live with.
Happy to read you think this car is "Nice" :-)
That's a good looking older Ram truck behind it. With the hood ornament still there. Did he trailer the car in with that truck?
I don't think that's his truck.
Why the pinstripe? I owned a v code 440 six pack 4 speed. Hemi Orange vinyl top delete. 410 Dana 60.
Hi Matthew, Hmmm, not sure why the pinstripe. Happy to read you had a fun car too, Lou
Don't know I love more the color or the motor
Win / Win :-)
If Donald wants to make America great again all he needs to do is get the big three to build all there 1970 muscle cars again . Awesome car Lou thanks.
Sounds like a fun idea to me Steven :-) You're welcome.
People probably thought he was crazy back then for buying it because Arabs had gas prices sky high and insurance prices. Smart man for holding onto it
Hi Charlie B, This car worked out well as a "Keeper" :-) Lou
Vive le Québec!
:-)
Power windows were an option, not part of the SE package, so a Hemi RT/SE with power windows has to extremely rare. Great find & story. My first car was a 70 Charger SE B5 Blue with white vinyl (383 4 bbl auto). I've uploaded the original factory brochure to Hamtramck Historical's site, where most of the old brochures can be seen online.

One in nova Scotia twin to it but 440 car
Hi Gerry, Thank you for sharing, Lou
How much?
Not for sale.
@Fred Gallant @@loucostabile It was sold short after the Chrysler Carlisle show of 2022
how is it chrysler sold all the hemis in canada ??? and all the junk in america
Canada must have the $ for the optional Hemi.
151,000? No engine or interior work, just a paint job? The driver's seat doesn't show the mileage either. Hmmm!
A well taken care of car.
new cars suck ass compared to these... idc if the engine came with a 90 day warranty
