Condition
From the Brett Torino collection. One of nine Hemi Challenger R/T convertibles in 1970. Handful of small paint cracks on the tail. Very good older paint otherwise. Excellent chrome. Even gaps. Older, lightly worn but attractive interior. Very clean engine bay and underbody. A well-kept, lightly enjoyed older restoration that was done to high standards.
Market commentary
Apparently the current Challenger Hemi hype has been ineffective in juicing the values of the original Challenger Hemis over their more widely recognized 'Cuda counterparts. Like the difference between Ford and Mercury or Chevy and Pontiac, the cars that are remembered are the less expensive ones that the kids of the time (now in their leisure years) could lust after while saving a few hundred dollars on trim. If only on the basis of the value difference (which in this case is on the order of a million dollars) this is a significant value.
