Condition
#4 Fair
Has visible flaws to the naked eye. Runs fine, but could use mechanical or cosmetic attention.
Represented as one of just 237 1970 Hemi Challengers and about a dozen with 4-speed and shaker hood. The paint is extremely dull and damaged, there are large chips on the hood and the tops of the fenders have paint worn down to the primer. The bumpers are dull and pitted, and the vinyl roof is old and faded but not cracked. The engine compartment is aged but not neglected. The radiator support appears replaced and the radiator is slightly tweaked as if there is prior accident damage. The underside is aged and a bit dusty. The interior is aged but not abused or neglected, just old. An aged older restoration of a highly optioned and desirable bit of Mopar muscle.
Market commentary
This is a shabby car condition-wise, but it ticks so many boxes and was definitely the king of this muscle car collection that crossed the block at Bonhams. This price is also surprisingly strong given that the car has needs and its condition can't be excused by originality. The words "Hemi", "4-speed", and "R/T" pulled a lot of weight here.
