INTRODUCTION: Here's the real deal- a genuine R/T, born like you see it, verified by its original fender tag! #s matching 383, born in stunning Plum Crazy Purple with the rare factory air conditioning option. A rotisserie style restoration, documented with a photo album, has made this one as impressive underneath as it is on top.
EXTERIOR: The body is exceptionally clean and straight. You can run your hand along the rockers and lower fenders and feel just how smooth the panels are. Repainted in its original Plum Crazy Purple, the metallic is laid out evenly and topped with a deep, glossy clear coat. Being an R/T, it features the signature power bulge hood with hood pins, further complemented by color keyed racing mirrors and the iconic pop-up gas cap. It has its optional longitudinal side stripes adding even more pop! The vinyl top, windshield, and weatherstrips have all been replaced. The bumpers have been rechromed, the grille is in excellent condition, and the taillight assembly has been replaced. It's rolling on factory 14-inch Rally wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires.
INTERIOR: It is very tidy and well restored. The seats have been reupholstered, and the door panels appear to have been replaced along with the handles and window cranks. It features a high quality reproduction dash pad and the desirable factory Rallye dash, complete with a tachometer. Being a factory air conditioning car, it also has the correct controls and dash vents. The center console is in excellent condition and houses the iconic Slap Stik shifter. Fresh carpet, clean factory seat belts front and rear, and an upgraded stereo complete the interior.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It has been restored to factory fresh condition. At its heart is the original VIN-matching 383 Magnum, rated at 335 horsepower. We've verified the casting numbers and dates. It features the correct stock air cleaner, factory manifolds with the heat riser tube, and all the firewall components are clean and properly restored. This Challenger was factory equipped with air conditioning, power steering, and power brakes. It also has the proper horns, washer bottle, correct Mopar radiator with the factory shroud, and a reproduction battery topper with the battery properly secured. The original fender tag is still in place and has been decoded, and we've verified the hidden VIN stampings on both the core support and cowl. The entire engine bay is clean, solid metal finished in its correct Plum Crazy Purple.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is clean, complete, and properly restored. Under the trunk lid, the jamb, and the entire compartment are finished in glossy Plum Crazy Purple. It includes a factory Rally wheel spare and a restored correct jack assembly. New weatherstripping, the proper decal, a reproduction trunk mat, and a matching spare tire cover complete the compartment.
UNDERSIDE: It is every bit as impressive as the top! The floors are rust free with smooth, clean metal, along with the frame rails, lower inner quarters, and surrounding structure. It's so clean underneath that it's finished in glossy Plum Crazy Purple just like the exterior. The suspension and steering were completely rebuilt with all the components removed and restored. The brake system was also rebuilt, featuring front disc brakes, along with new lines, hoses, and emergency brake cables. It has a fat dual exhaust with crossover pipe, Dynomax mufflers and correct square tips exiting through the rear valance. The fuel system has been replaced, including a polished fuel tank. Looking up at the engine, it's still spotless including a fresh starter. The casting dates, engine codes, and matching VIN stamp are clearly visible. The 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission is freshly rebuilt, and in back is the durable 8¾-inch rear end equipped with 3.55 gears.
