Just a note about it being a Canada car. The Windsor Plant in Ontario ( South of the Detroit river) didn't make the Charger until 1975 which shared the body for the Cordoba at that time . The VIN info shows the XS29 (RT) R (426 ) 0 (1970 ) and the G for the St.Louis Plant . Canada would have also gotten the Michigan Plant Chargers from Detroit Lynch rd ( A ) and the Hamtramck outsdie Detroits border ( B ) . The good news about US exports to Canada is that Transport Canada had to be given a detailed sheet for every option on that model on top of the VIN id , that record was better than the Build Sheet by the Code descriptions that confirm the Buck tag or door plate codes . About 5 years ago i saw a video where someone came to canada to check out a 67 Vette with a 4 spd 427. The seller had the Import Sheet to match the car because it was still in the files to buy a copy from Transport canada . The USA sales had the Dealer Invoice copy which is needed today if you can't find the Build Sheet and you want to ID a special rare car to filter out the clones. FORD had a problem though in late 1961 when the built the 1962's Thunderbird Roadsters because there was no Code for them on the first 550 or so that had only used the Convertible body code 63A and Model Id 85Z . The dealer documents or purchased agreement is pretty well needed to spot a 1962 clone but the VIN sequence number must also be above 105843 while only 7 colour of the 18 were used and most were ragoon red with Black interior. In early December the 63B now would ID the Roadster plus the 89Z as the VIN numbers were now just over 105700 . Even those 61 produced Roadster shipped into canada would still have the Import Data sheet to prove it had all the upgrades and correct colour .

He has that engine running perfectly. Its quiet for a Hemi and idles nicely. He purchased at the right time, during the oil embargo. Around that same year a friend of mine purchased a Boss429 from a used car dealer for $2800. Original owner got too many tickets so the wife said the car had to go.

Hey Lou, you always showcase beautiful cars and from all the makes but being a Mopar fan, this car is the icing on the cake! And I like the HEMI badge location better than the US cars! It is almost where Dodge used to put the 383 MAGNUM, 440 MAGNUM and 426 HEMI badges on the 1966-'67 cars, if I remember correctly! And maybe again in 1970 with the 383 MAGNUM Super Bee and Coronet 500 too, I think! Thanks for your videos, Lou!

[@jtp336]

All 70 Chargers were built in the U.S., specifically at the St. Louis plant. What makes this a "Canadian" car, is that it was built for Canadian export (see code Y07 on the fender tag); meaning after assembly it went directly to Canada to be sold at the Canadian dealer who special ordered it.

[@Scalihoo]
