Test Drive 1970 Dodge Challenger SOLD $30,900 Maple Motors

[@JoeR203]

Maybe it's just the way the sunlight was hitting it in the lot, but is the front driver's side fender a lighter shade of (almost duller looking) purple?

[@SloppyJOLopys]

obviously somebody tried to color match, and it didn't work out to well for them 😂 😂

[@JoeR203]

@@SloppyJOLopys It must be pretty bad then because I'm colorblind and I still noticed it. lol

[@michaellyons9640]

probally been wrecked before

[@mikemalone4287]

The fender is a different shade it's obvious

[@JoeR203]

@@mikemalone4287 It may have been more obvious to those who have 20/20 vision.

[@bigbear5981]

Nice looking Mopar... but I am a Mopar guy. Yeah I know people do strange things. This is a JH23C0B 225 engine and it may have had a 3 speed manual transmission. No fender tag so can't decode it. They drop a 440 with a 4 speed which is very heavy . The Challenger came with 225 torsion bars. The rear at least is a 8 3/4 which is good. I hope they upgrade the torsion bars. The dash was changed to a RT from the stock set up. This was a repaint to plum crazy. Yes the car can move out. It's a shame they rip out the radio. That's hard to find the radio bezel for this. It was weird seeing red paint on the left side door hinge area and B7 blue around the striker plate and in the trunk. I am surprised they didn't go with a TA hood design. To me the price is high for the work that needs to be done. Good luck to the next owner. 🐻🇺🇸

[@tonytrumble]

Love the pistol grip shifter!! Tacky scoop needs to go. Definitely won't last long!!

[@raysmith128]

Now that's a car, Mopar, plum crazy purple, 440, pistol grip shifter all the gauges work not getting no better than that

[@danielgalang390]

Nick never dissapoints on Mopar Mondays!

[@stevesworld9680]

Thanks Nick for getting some rubber in 3 gears. Fun test drive.

[@LivingOnCash]

A little rough around the edges but if it was perfect it would be selling for a lot more than $30K. A 440 and a 4 speed? Yes, please! This would be a great car for someone to buy and enjoy immediately. They could address all the issues with the car while still driving it. If someone wants a driver quality car (in my opinion, the best way to go) that you could have fun with and not worry too much about, this would be a great place to start.

[@HardcoreMotors]

In perfect condition Vanguard would be asking 190k for that car, lol.

[@francoisgaignaux6474]

not an original 440 car though, VIN shows it was a 6 cylinder, and most likely blue not purple@@HardcoreMotors

[@markpederson504]

where did you see the vin number to see it was a 6 cylinder originally

[@tonywalkingstick8883]

Love the sound of those tires as you put it through it's paces. Fun test drive. Gotta have my Maple Motor's Monday to get my week started off right. Mopar Mondays at Maple Motor's has a nice ring to it.

[@dpangburn9581]

Love the 2 tones of purple paint!

[@docohm50]

To the buyer congratulations to the guy who had to let it go, I'm sorry. I had a 70' Challenger also and let it go back in 86', still pissed I had to let it go. Had orders to Germany with the Air Force.

[@drippinglass]

That will be gone in no time! 😎

[@texjake3]

Definitely a repaint. Did anyone else see the light blue paint in the door jamb on the drivers side? And the mismatched lighter shade of purple on the LH side front fender.

[@SloppyJOLopys]

i wish people that swap these v6 cars would just leave the exterior alone. Stop putting call out badges on these v6 cars guys!

[@jcbruce76]

I have this same car but restored. This may be the best deal I've ever seen at Maple Motors. $31k was a steal for this one (IMO). A 1970 R/T, 440, with a 4spd.

[@JimmyRogers-he4eq]

Left front fender quarter panel has different purple color lighter purple

For the price point, it's a good Challenger 😊

[@michaelcowan6254]

Very nice. I love Challengers. This one was special because it started life as a 6 cylinder. Probably not many of them were made.

Love the videos and cars! Not to be negative but that isn't original front end, critical light shows driver front fender and rest of driver side two tones or purple, but then again, its sweet!!

[@markruffner9143]

Highly desirable car at a fair price. The only turn off for me was the scoop. This would be a body and paint guy's dream.

[@Re1ikGaming]

Bout dang time you stomp on it and break some tires! I was getting bored with all the putting around on previous vids lol. That's a proper car and proper vid!

[@marty1670]

Great one to blow apart, do it right and have a super nice ride when done. I am a MOPAR diehard Mopar or No Car lover. I've had literally hundreds and this would make a sweet ride . Won't last long on the lot.

[@mastergunnerysgt1258]

Well Nick, I am happy to see this Plum purple Challenger, for I commented last Monday and I was late for dinner because I was out of town. But I think the person that got it will put some time in it and make it there own .Nice old Challenger and still loved the vid.

Damn there's something about these Challengers ! Perhaps it brings me back to my youth. Had a '71 Challenger R/T when I was 19 back in early '80's. 440 as well. That freaking car was famous in the street drag scene. Sucker ran baby. I'm now almost 60 and I will have another before I'm in the ground or ashes stashed in a closet collecting dust. Yeah baby !!!!!
