Dick’s Classic Motors is excited to present this stunning 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T for sale in our Mesa, Arizona showroom. This resto-mod tribute has undergone a five-year, 1000-hour full nut and bolt restoration, and it is powered by a 6.4-liter 485 HP 392 HEMI, backed by a 6-speed manual transmission. With countless upgrades, this Challenger is a true labor of love and a nod to one of the most iconic muscle cars ever built.

A Tribute to Vanishing Point:

This Challenger is a tribute to the 1971 film Vanishing Point, which remains one of the most famous car chase movies in history. The film featured a white 1970 Challenger, cementing its place in car culture. The 1994 film Terminal Velocity and 1997’s Vanishing Point remake also prominently featured a white ’70 Challenger as a central character. In 2007, Death Proof also paid homage to the Alpine White Challenger R/T, further solidifying the car’s legendary status. This Challenger is a true tribute to Kowalski’s unforgettable journey.

Interior Features:

Inside, this Challenger is as impressive as its exterior. The cabin features high-back bucket seats and a rear bench, all trimmed in sleek black vinyl. The interior also boasts a matching headliner, dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Woodgrain trim extends across the dashboard, center console, and door panels, bringing a touch of classic elegance. The car is equipped with a custom 6-speed pistol-grip shifter, a RetroSound radio, and Vintage Air for comfort. The woodgrain rim-blow steering wheel frames the Dakota Digital gauges, which include a 150-mph speedometer, 8k-rpm tachometer, combination gauge, and a clock. The five-digit odometer shows 320 miles, indicating the limited driving since the restoration.

Exterior Features:

The exterior is finished in the iconic Alpine White (W1), and the restoration process spared no expense in making the paint absolutely flawless. The car wears all the correct Challenger and R/T badging, and the paint is in immaculate condition. It’s so clean that it’s hard to believe it’s a road car – it truly shines like new! The Challenger sits on modern 17-inch Rallye wheels fitted with Nitto tires, giving it an aggressive stance and performance-oriented grip.

Engine & Performance:
