If you’ve been searching for a rust-free, numbers-matching Dodge Charger R/T, this 1970 example might be the one to snag. Listed here on eBay, the B7 Jamaica Blue coupe is a California car its entire life, making it an exceptionally solid base for either a full restoration or a preservation-style driver. The seller describes it as “the perfect project Charger R/T,” and from the looks of things, that’s a fair statement.
The car retains its original fender tag, dash VIN, broadcast sheet, and matching body numbers, cementing its status as an investment-grade Mopar. Under the hood is its numbers-matching 440 Magnum V8 paired with a heavy-duty Torqueflite automatic transmission, both of which were recently rebuilt. The engine reportedly sounds fantastic, and the car runs and drives well, though the seller advises a thorough inspection before any long trips due to its time off the road. Brakes and some front suspension components have been refreshed, and the concealed headlights and all interior gauges—including the Tic-Toc-Tach—are in working order.
This Charger has had some body work, including replacement of the Dutchman panel, left quarter panel, rear valance, corners, and tail light panel. The seller believes these changes were likely due to a past collision rather than rust, as the frame rails, wheelhouses, and other inner structure components are free of previous repairs. Still, for a car this solid, such panel work is worth verifying for quality.
Inside, the car sports its original charcoal and black vinyl bucket seat interior (C6XA) and factory A/C components, though the underhood A/C hardware is missing. The original carburetor, radiator, fan shroud, air cleaner, and valve covers are still present, while the exhaust manifolds have been swapped for headers and the ignition upgraded to Mopar’s electronic system.
The car’s list of options, including power disc brakes, drip trough moldings, and the A01 Light Group, adds further appeal. While not quite turnkey, this is an unusually complete and unmolested Charger R/T that would make a great candidate for a show-quality restoration or simply a cleaned-up driver.
Is that an “air grabber” hood ?
No,that’s the “Six Pack” hood scoop off the 1969 A12’s.
This one is used to catch bugs.
Like the blue paint, doesn’t need to be perfect, just a good driver. That scoop , for this car is there just to catch bugs.
It’s being sold by the guy with the TV show that restores Mopars. It’s probably a good starting point, but will be expensive, the reserve on his auctions generally are. Who can blame him, he has a fan base that will pay a premium for anything he’s touched.

It’s going to sell for a ridiculous amount!
GYC auctions are always overpriced and hardly ever sell.
Odd that no one mentioned the optional rear defogger.
(Radio face is from 1968).
Maybe it had a six pack once? Top o the heap stuff
It’s a U code car, so it came w/ a 440 and 4 barrel. I believe V code was a six pack car in 1970. If it ever had a six pack installed, it was after it left the factory.
Beauty car, lost me at the aftermarket 6-pack scoop. Totally detracts form the car’s clean lines.
From the engine’s appearance, it doesn’t look like the rebuilt was done by GYC / Cousin Dougie. If so, that would throw some decent value onto this car.
SOLD for $50K.
This is the first GYC EBay car that I have seen actually sell.
