A screaming-orange slice of American muscle history just roared onto the market: a one-of-a-kind 1970 Dodge Charger R/T formerly used as a dealership show pony in North Carolina. This beast isn’t just any old Charger; it’s rocking the near-mythical V21 blacked-out hood treatment—a feature rarer than hen’s teeth, slapped on less than 2% of these cars fresh from the factory.
Collectors are losing their minds over well-preserved R/Ts these days, and for good reason. Dodge only pumped out 9,509 of these brutes in ’70, most packing the standard 440 Magnum V8—this car’s original, numbers-matching heart still thumping out 375 horsepower. No Six-Pack or Hemi? No problem. This big-block could still shove you back in the seat like a jealous ex.
What really sets this machine apart? Try EK2 Go Mango, arguably Dodge’s most bananas factory color, slathered on barely 4.6% of Chargers that year. Paired with a Burnt Orange gut and white vinyl top, records suggest fewer than 50 left the assembly line looking this wild. Throw in luxe add-ons like ice-cold A/C, power everything, and even a trunk-mounted luggage rack (because why not?), and you’ve got a time capsule dressed to impress.
Originally delivered to Colony Dodge as a showcase ride, this survivor somehow dodged decades of neglect. Now sitting pretty at American Steel Classics in Celeste, Texas with a $99.5k price tag, it’s more than a car—it’s a rolling ode to the golden age of dealer bragging rights. For Mopar nuts, finding one this clean with paperwork to back up its story? That’s like hitting the lottery without buying a ticket.
