This Charger R/T I believe was originally B5 Blue, which from a statistical standpoint, fewer in numbers than the Plum Crazy. The 1970 Chargers are the fewest in numbers from the entire Charger family. Take for example another popular car such as the 1966 Mustang. Ford produced a total of 607,568 Mustangs in that year, while Dodge produced only 46,576 1970 Chargers in Total...of which, only 8,574 total were R/T 440 4 Barrel cars heralding the XS29UOG Vin precursor. There are an estimated 7500 1970 Chargers accounted for in collections and on DMV Record (*www.1970ChargerRegistry.com). Her metal is solid & well done, with no patches, rust spots, rot & her Frame Rails are in great structural & cosmetic condition with no rust or rot. The chrome on her original triangular vent windows is in near perfect condition & shows no pitting, rust or haze. This affirms my belief that that this Charger has been garaged for much its life, and well cared for. She was media blasted by the previous owner/owner's at some point & all metal is in very nice condition, & she retains her original full trunk in fantastic condition. This tells me again, that this Charger was mostly likely garaged, as the rear glass on these cars tended to leak, and this car has no symptomolgy leading me to believe it has. It would be a very short leap to a Local Show Winner or would be an excellent Candidate for a Full Rotisserie Restoration, or simply enjoy as she is. Please feel free to call me with any questions, as I have limited time to log in & check my Ebay Mail. I will do my best to respond in a timely manner either way, however. Thanks for Looking! (914) 329-1130 CLASSIC CAR CONDITION RATING GUIDE RATING DESCRIPTION 1 EXCELLENT/SHOW CAR A masterpiece, this perfect original car is in the same condition it was in when delivered new or better; or a professionally-restored car that has been restored to new or better than new condition. This car is not driven, and is transported to shows in an enclosed trailer. Normally stored in a secured, temperature and humidity controlled environment when not being shown, this car would be expected to come within a point or two of a perfect score when judged by professionals using current criteria. 2 FINE An original car with very low miles that has been meticulously maintained since new; or an older professional restoration that has seen very limited use since restoration. Very close inspection by an expert may detect almost insignificant flaws or wear, but to most enthusiasts the car would look perfect. This car would come within several points of a perfect score when judged, and would receive the top award at a show unless a true Number 1 car were also being judged. 3 VERY GOOD A well-maintained original car that has been driven limited miles over the years; is completely operable with all equipment working as designed, and at first glance may look perfect; or an older restoration that has been driven limited miles since the restoration was completed, and is showing minor wear and tear from being on display at car shows. Closer inspection may reveal minor wear on parts susceptible to showing wear, such as brake and gas pedals, and some thinning of paint and chrome finishes may also be noticed. 4 GOOD Major components function properly, and the vehicle is completely safe to drive but may need minor repairs to mechanical systems. No parts are missing, but this car has been driven on a regular basis and may need a paint job and a few trim pieces rechromed or replaced. Amateur restorations usually fall into this category, as do very old professional restorations that have deteriorated due to use and exposure to the elements. 5 RESTORABLE May or may not be running; everything on the car needs to be restored; may be missing minor parts, but the major components are there. Any body damage due to collision or rust should be minor; some surface rust may appear, but no holes should be present. The car is structurally sound, but needs cosmetic updating to paint, upholstery and top material, as well as repairs to various mechanical components. 6 PARTS CAR Probably not running well, if at all; missing some major as well as minor parts; may have serious body damage due to wreck or rust through. Soft trim and rubber parts are most likely completely ruined from weathering and exposure. This vehicle needs many parts and has deteriorated to the point of not being a good candidate for restoration.
