1970 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T Badging NOSTALGIA SUPER STOCK DRAG RACE CAR STREET OR STRIP After retiring in 2002 from the telephone industry the previous owner (The Original Bandito Dodge Racing Inc. ) started looking for another Mopar to fill in spare time when not working at Bandimere Speedway as an SFI certified tech official. In the summer of 2004 a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T - F/SA - G/SA class car was found in MN. it had been sitting for several years. stored in a heated garage. A deal was made and the car was moved to Colorado checked over and tested at Bandimere Speedway to see how competitive it would be in the thin air of Denver. This was testing only before going into a rebuild / upgrade stage and total restoration back to its hay days of the 1970's. Boy did they take on a mess. once they started you can only keep going to reach the end result. BAD MOVE . Car was tested in Denver CO as a G/SA - 2004. @ 5. 60' with ET's in the 12. 70's @ 109. 98 in 2004 ----------------------------------- Born a 1970 Dodge Challenger RT "Plum Crazy Purple" car equipped with a 340/275 hp motor. 904 transmission & a 8-3/4" rear end. Life as a cruiser was short lived in the early 70's. soon it was seeing drag racing duties at local strips in the area of MN. As time passed the car has gone through difference stages of being updated to meet the demands of service as a race car.

In this case he found that anything from major parts to the body parts were not as good a condition as thought. Specs 2005 Being from MN it had some rust damage requiring replacement of the trunk floor pan and a few very small holes under the drivers feet area. One dent was found in the floor pan where the driveshaft had got loose before having the required driveshaft loop added.
