70 Challenger RT vert For Sale in California (not mine)

[340challconvert]

Dealer is selling a 70 Challenger RT vert with the engine tag
Car has no motor or trans. Was a 383 w a 4 speed.
No price listed (not usually a good sign)
Might be worth looking at if the price is reasonable
Was a green car with a factory white interior
Some members may know about this car.
Does appear to need some metal and frame work but it is a California car.
Happy Hunting.

Some interesting points

- Came with 3:55 performance axle
- Were fender turn signals available with an RT hood in 71?

Why wouldn't fender mounted signals go with Rallye hood?

I don't think they were available with the 1970 Challenger on the RT or A66 models because with the bulge hood, you were unable to see the signal on the passenger side.
If you look at the 70 order book, they were part of an option that was unavailable on the RT. Not totally sure on this, but I thought this was the case?

maybe flat hoods an rallye hoods changed the location were they are on the fenders

No fender top indicators on rallye hood 1970 or 1971 Challengers from the factory.

Finally found it.
Fender mounted signals part of the A01 light group, but deleted from A66 and RT models

That's why I thought it was odd that this RT Challenger vert for sale would be coded for L31 on the tag, being a JS car.
What gives?

 

[challenger6pak]

Could be the wrong code. For instance J31 is for dual horns. It is a misread fender tag or a typo most likely.

S & S usually has a swap spot at Spring Fling next week. So good chance the car will be there for sale.

Curious to what the dealer is asking for an RT vert w no drivetrain?

 

[gs73rallye]

Found this pic by google searching 70 Challenger. Quite possible fender turn signals were added in the last 45 years, but back then someone with connections could get non available options.

 

[gs73rallye]

I was curious because a friends brother had a 70 Cuda BS car with body color fender signals. Possibly exec order cars.

That is a beautiful Y1 Challenger RT. There are also the factory hood pins on the hood. The turn signals on that car were most likely added, but with mother Mopar, who knows! Be great to see the fender tag.
