Love the 68,69 and 70 models of Chargers ! My all time favorite body style for a muscle car !!!
August of 77 I bought my 70 charger 500 383 2bl single exhaust a/c ps and power drum brakes. Original paint and rust free. Wish I still had it today.
This generation of the Charger is my favorite Mopar Steve, I just love the design of the whole car and this one is a beauty.
69 is the best of the bunch i just wish they didn't put vinyl tops on them
October of 77' I was 16. I bought a low mileage 1970' charger 500 383/2bbl, automatic console with power steering and front disc brakes am/fm-8track stereo. Clock gauge package with tachometer and factory air conditioning. Had the magnum 500 wheels on RWL Laramie F70's single exhaust with a hush thrush muffler. 323 rear. Gloss maroon with black vinyl top and black bucket vinyl. I paid $950.00 dollars for the car and looked brand new with just over 65,000 miles on it. Wished I still had it. That and my 68' barracuda notchback 318. Are the only two cars I ever missed in life. This car brings back the memories ❤
68 was the best year as far as looks. The round tail lights and the clean front end without the goofy chrome wrap around bumper. Plus the console was chrome, not cheesy woodgrain. As for the 150 speedo, my 68 had a 383 HO and it would cruise at 145 comfortably and was incredibly stable at that speed. I grew up just outside of DC and would go up onto 95 North on Sunday mornings around 7am, a couple of miles north of the DC beltway, and open it up going towards Baltimore for 20 miles or so. Never more than a couple of cars out so it seemed safe. Looking back, maybe not, but it's something I'll never forget.
I’m doing mine in C7 purple with a matching front bumper. They don’t look goofy with the bumper in the same color on the darker cars. 😀
Oh… and my ‘70 has the console with the offset Pistol Grip, high back buckets, and 440 Six Pack. All of which was only available in 1970. 😁
You could get it in '71 just far fewer numbers
@@garybishop4030 The ‘71 is just a 2 door Coronet.
@@drippinglass Ok You can go away now.
I love those wheels Steve!!!
Mid to late seventies, a buddy had this same color with white vinyl top and burnt orange interior. It was in great shape when most of the muscle cars were getting worn out.
Thanks Steve.
Great car and video, Steve!😁👍🛠️
Thanks 👍
My 70 Charger 500 had vacuum headlight covers that worked just fine. 383 4 barrel with an automatic. Bucket seats but no console.Sure wish I had it now. Remember the turn signals duplicated out on the hood. I loved the six bulb tail lights and the wrap around front grill. The brakes were so-called taxi brakes, very large drums without self adjusters.
Back in the late 80s I had a chance to buy a car that looked exactly like this except it was an RT and had a 383 Magnum for $900. The car had about 106,000 miles on it and had been very well taken care of even had a luggage rack on the trunk. Unfortunately, I couldn't scrape the money together and have always looked back at it as the biggest regret I have ever had.
Know the feeling,had the same deal with a 65 Chevelle SS L79 car for $1,200
Sold my 68 Sport Sat in 85 for 1800 recently replaced it with A 68 Charger to relive it. If that's your biggest regret you're doing great! Always be more cars.
If it was a true RT then it had a 440 or some one put the RT badge on it .
Nice! I got my ‘70 Charger in 1985 for $1200. Literally a basket case… I bought home parts in milk crates. It’s an F8 with black vinyl top and black and charcoal interior. Factory 440 Six Pack 4 speed Dana. I want to go with C7 and no vinyl top. 😀
This was originally a 318 car with the VIN (from the HOC website) for the win: X for Dodge Charger, P for Premium price class, 29 for two door sports hardtop, G for 318 V8 with two barrel, 0 for 1970 model year, G for St. Louis, MO assembly (Fenton) and the rest is the production sequence. The Fenton, MO plant complex operated from 1959 to 2009 and was the main minivan plant in the US for a time.
We got the tag, we can brag: END for end of sales codes, R11 for Music Master AM radio, 2 watt economy, Y16 for sales bank, V1X for full Black vinyl roof, C16 for console with woodgrain and seat belt holder at the rear, C55 for bucket seats, G33 for LH chrome remote outside racing mirror, M21 for drip rail moldings, M31 for body belt moldings, FK5 for Dark Burnt Orange exterior paint, C6K4 for Burnt Orange bucket seat interior trim, 203 for Tuesday February 3, 1970 scheduled production, E44 for 318 V8 with two barrel, approximately 230 HP, and D31 for A904 three speed Torqueflite automatic transmission.
I’ll take the 318 any day with that body style my 1967 Dodge D200 has plenty of power . With that engine. 👍
@charlieb308 I thought the website said it had a 360 V8.
@charlieb308 Says original 318 carin the video, also says original radio delete car however...
Oh yeah, 318 was a killer combination with a two-barrel and radio-delete.
@@gteefxr3094 It originally had an AM radio.
I love American Muscle cars. I hold Italian design first because I am not American but I adore the Charger, Camaro, Mustang, Shelby and so many others from Detroit. Great design and wonderful style. :) Awesome power too :)
Wow! That 318 sounds like a big block anyway!
Huh?
Great video on the charger bud.Your very very knowledgeable on all aspects ,& details...
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful car.Held on to my 71 Grand Prix since I purchased it from original owners in 1987,nothing like the classics.
Vinal top rust like crazy. But sure looks awesome. I would love to have it in my garage.
318, wonderful engine!! That's all you need!!
Basically Steve the Daytona did use the 70 fenders because of the front ward slope. As the superbird used the coronet front fenders for the same reason to better fit that steel nose
😍Nice!!!!! 👍👍
Was not a "Radio delete" car, the R11 code is on the fender tag. R11 is an AM Radio. But it's easier to mount a "blind plate"...
Wow incredible love it, just fabulous!!!
68 by far the best year, 440 six pack was a even better motor than a hemi even
Nice example Steve, and IMO extremely well valued on the website Listing..... just say'in, I don't it will be around long.
I love your commentary you're very thorough Clinton High School had a 1970 Dodge Charger RT yeah for about 5 months to beat the shit out of it why don't you run one on a 65 Rambler Marlin only made 10000 of those and I have one
Y’all just have an Enzo sitting in the back there?? Dang!😳😆
I think the front bumper looks cool. I don’t understand why it’s disliked.
why the factory put vinyl tops on these Chargers I have no idea , they look slicker without them. anyway Steve is right about the 68;69 vacuum headlights they would not close half the time especially the driver side
I reckon any Charger over those years 68 to 70 is a pretty good looking car. I actually love the look of that chrome grill, was just a sign of the times. But then I also like any cars of that era, Ford Escort Mark 1, Citroen 2CV, Hillman Hunter, Vauxhall Ventora, Ford Capri Mark 1, Austin 1100, Citreon DS15, Boss 429 Mustang, Mercury Cougar Terminator and Trabant 3 cylinder 2 stroke, Reliant Robin was pretty good too in those years !
Whats the name of the model of the grey car that can be seen on the top right side during the sound of the engine?
Hello I'm just curious, does anyone know if you could have ordered a 1970 Charger RT with bench seat and on the column shift? Crazy, I know. But I was just thinking what a rare option it would be compared to all the bucket sear floor shift RT cars out there.
That stearing wheel did not come with that car....it has a plymouth logo in the center,still a sharp looking car
Really sad to see a computer on such an otherwise beautiful classic car.
Should have went for the radio.😏
My 67 Charger has electric headlight motors I’ve never heard of vacuum hideaway headlights on a Charger, My 79 Corvette had vacuum headlights
Crazy order
That's smart someone left the so-called trim tag 1970 un repainted with dry rot or otherwise so-called patina & every grunt line build part of the car is super readable unlike the very poor decision to go nuts on the spray and stupidly drown said tag where you hardly can read the build sheet numbers.
Harganya berapa?😊
Tag is screwed in....
I can almost smell the leaded gas......
The 500 I went through two years ago had the door cards with the map pockets- I don't think those in the video are correct for a 500.
Because it isnt a 500. Neither front piece or rear window is correct for a 500.
360 on the website?
That's what it says.
EFI throttle bodies don’t work well dual plane intakes without a spacer
Come take it for a rip she boogies.
@@highoctaneclassics3969 or the plenum needs to be notched
Lost me at 318.
Absolutely! What's the point!
get rid of the 318
EVERYTHING is wrong with that!! 440 please!!!!
Ashtray delete also? LMAO. Probably wants 80K for this.
