1970 Black Challengers

[Justbad Joe]

Looking at your numbers, we had a hemi orange rt/se 440,4sp and was told that it was 1 of 142? Your number leads me to believe there were more rt/se's than straight up rt's? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

It's an important distinction because Ed's car doesn't fall within those numbers - just wanted to be clear for all reading this.

A friend of a friend has/had a black on black T/A Challenger.

T/As would be a part of the base Challenger list too.

Diego, based on your research, what do think is the rarest color on a 70 Challenger? Not necessarily odd color combos, but just general body color? Also, what special order colors have you run across on 70 Hemi or 440 Six Pack Challengers?

[442w30]

Well, someone posted the R/T numbers above so you can see there. Or do you mean base Challengers?

For what it's worth, I haven't done any research - I just have some numbers from Galen Govier. But, as a rule, the yellow-golds, golds, beiges, and mid-year Panther Pink and Green Go tend to be the rarest colors for Mopar muscle in 1970.

As far as special-order colors are concerned, I know there's at least one, and perhaps a few, A4 silver Challengers built, which wasn't a normal color option for the Challenger but was for the C-body. If there's another special-order color, I don't know about it or I don't remember it.

I seem to recall an A4 70 Challenger R/T. Black longitudinal stripe, 383(?). Is that the car you have in mind?

[442w30]

Don't remember. I've seen one in Carlisle.

Here's the numbers XXX posted for EV2:

Hemi Orange EV2 984 43 195

That means 195 US-spec R/T SEs were built. I don't know where you got the idea that there were fewer regular R/Ts built.

When i posted the numbers i listed them by color then model in this order.
JS23 JS27 JS29

JS23 = Hardtop R/T
JS27 = Convertible R/T
JS29 = S.E. Special Edition R/T.
So this would be how you read those numbers.

442w30 is correct that these numbers are all based on USA production R/T models, the imports will ad some production to these numbers but not much.
