Description for Dodge Challenger 1970
This car is set up for drag racing only. It will need wipers, heater, and street tires to be street legal.
*Best Time* April 20 2018 this car ran an 11.135 at 124.79 MPH at Maple Grove Raceway in Mohnton, PA
This amazing car started life as a 1970 Dodge Challenger RT "Plum Crazy" car equipped with a 340/275 hp motor, 904 transmission & a 8-3/4" rear end.
In 2007 this car underwent a complete professional restoration and updating by Holeshot Automotive in Colorado Springs, CO leaving no bolt unturned, everything was taken apart cleaned, repaired or replaced.
I purchased this car in 2015 and since then I have run it at Maple Grove Raceway in Mohnton PA an average of only 17 ¼ mile runs per season. (Lack of time to run this car is the reason I considered selling it.) I typically run 113 octane in this car.
This car has never broken down in the 70 total runs over 4 yseasons since I have owned the car. In addition to the modifications listed below (all professionally installed before I purchased the car) the rear tires (Hoosier racing slicks) and front tires (Mickey Thomspon ET's) were replaced in March 2018 and have only been used during 13 ¼ mile runs.
BODY - The car was completely restored from the ground up on a rotisserie with any questionable parts replaced. The undercarriage: painted *Plum Crazy* Purple [POR-15] (better than powder coating) & fully detailed. Exterior: *[FK7] Plum Crazy* Purple paint with (7) coats of *clear coat* applied - Interior: aluminum dash with AutoMeter gauges, original door panels have been refreshed, new weather stripping, new headliner, new carpet & bucket seats, 5-point G-Force racing harness (Driver side only), integrated roll cage. The glass is in great shape along with all the stainless steel, chrome trim & bumpers. The body is straight as an arrow - a real head turner getting compliments everywhere it goes.
