This is one of only 963 Challenger RT Convertibles made during IT"S ONLY YEAR (1970) OF PRODUCTION. You could buy a Challenger RT (Big Block ) hardtop or a non-RT Convertible the following year (1971), but the Challenger RT Convertible combination was only offered in 1970. In 1972, both the RT and Convertible versions were dropped.

The K-Member was dismantled, painted, rebuilt and reinstalled along with new disc brakes, shocks and steering box. The leaf springs and rearend were stripped, repainted and reinstalled with new bushings and shocks. New stainless steel brake lines and rubber brake hoses were installed front & rear. A new fuel tank with new sending unit was installed using new tank straps, J-bolts and new stainless steel fuel line. The newly painted firewall was sealed with new gaskets & grommets prior to installing the firewall insulation, rebuilt heat/ac box, rebuilt steering column, new throttle cable, new emergency brake cable and dash (with new woodgrain & dash pad).

The final assembly is within the knowledge of the average gearhead.
