Description

Key Information:

This 1970 Dodge Challenger Western Sport Special is powered by a 318ci V8 paired with a Pistol-Grip four-speed manual transmission. It shows 45,595 miles on its rolled odometer and has had three owners from new, with the current owner retaining it since 1982. In 1984, the car underwent a bare-metal respray and was reassembled over an eight-year period with a focus on originality and preservation.

Exterior Features
The body was stripped to bare metal and refinished in its original color during a restoration that began in 1984. The Western Sport Special Package adds unique trim and badging that remain intact. Chrome bumpers, dual mirrors, and factory-style wheel arch moldings accent the classic Mopar silhouette. The car rides on period-correct steel wheels with polished hubcaps and white-letter tires. The paint presents with consistent gloss and even panel fit, and all exterior lighting is functional.

Interior Appointments
The cabin features factory-style black vinyl bucket seats, matching door panels, and a center console housing the Pistol-Grip shifter. The dashboard retains original switchgear and instrumentation, including a 120-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. Replacement carpets and restored trim pieces reflect the careful reassembly process. The heater operates as intended, and the cabin shows minimal wear while maintaining its vintage character.

Powertrain & Mechanical
The 318ci V8 delivers smooth, reliable performance and is paired with a four-speed manual transmission. The engine bay retains a stock appearance with factory-style valve covers and air cleaner. The car starts easily, idles steadily, and pulls strongly through all gears. The transmission shifts cleanly, the clutch engages smoothly, and the suspension is composed. Braking is handled by factory-style drums at all four corners, and the car tracks straight under acceleration and braking.

Ownership & History
This Challenger has had three owners since new. The current owner acquired it in 1982 and began a bare-metal restoration in 1984, followed by an eight-year reassembly focused on retaining stock configuration. The car has been garage-kept and driven sparingly, contributing to its well-preserved condition. Documentation includes restoration notes and ownership history.

Driving Impressions
On the road, the Challenger delivers a classic Mopar experience—torquey, visceral, and unmistakably 1970s. The Pistol-Grip shifter enhances engagement, and the 318 V8 provides dependable performance. The car feels tight and composed, with no rattles or driveline vibrations, making it a rewarding cruiser with vintage appeal.
