Hello, I just joined and hope to gain some information from members. My first question is how can I confirm my 1970 is a real R/T?
Thanks

OK. Mine is "JH". Do you know what that means?

Welcome to the site from Michigan.

What's the numbers after the JH?
JH23 is a hardtop
JH27 is a convertible
JH29 is an SE hardtop

The fifth character in the VIN is your engine code (JH23G for example is a 318):

C = slant 6
G = 318
H = 340
L = 383 2 BBL
N = 383 4 BBL
U = 440 4 BBL
V = 440 6 Pack
R = 426 Hemi

I believe all R/T cars had U, V, or R engines in 1970. In '71, H code engines were in R/T cars. Not sure if those were 6 pack or 4 BBL 340s.

Welcome to FEBO from the desert. It doesn't have to be an R/T to enjoy it!

HooToTheCore, base R/T engine was the "N" 383 for 70 and 71.

Welcome, I lived in Delaware for years. Now in Pa, north of Philly. Always glad to see another Mopar in the area!

The first thing that helps with questions is details.
We know nothing about you or what you have so pictures and detailed info really helps to answer questions.

You're right, I mistakenly left off the 383 R/T engine.

I agree. I have a 2010 R/T and wanted to have the "set" and that's the reason I sought an R/T. The seller put badges on it. I noticed too late the grill R/T was to the left of the word Challenger. It's a project car for me.

Thanks, I see it picture now. This car was born with a 318. It was not an R/T.
