1970 Challenger Deputy
The opening model was referred to as the Deputy. This basic of Challengers still had everything the consumer needed. You would get fixed rear quarter windows, all-vinyl bucket seats, 198ci I6, armrests, ashtrays, and 3-speed manual floor transmission. You could optionally get white sidewall tires, air conditioning, rear-window defogger, and a 383ci V8 with 4-barrel. There was a lot more to be had, but this was the absolute base model, so it was more for the tight budget than one of opulence....
1970 Challenger SE
The next level of Challenger resided with the Challenger SE or Special Edition. This was a more formal version of the pony car and included appointments like vinyl roof covering, formal roof styling, overhead console, and genuine leather or vinyl seats. The SE allowed for all engine possibilities as well, so you could ultimately order a 426 Hemi with your special edition R/T Challenger.
1970 Challenger R/T
The final rung in the Challenger ladder brings you to the most decorated and highly powered Challenger you could buy – the R/T (road and track). The engines started with the 335hp, 383ci V8. From there you could opt for the 440ci 2 or 4 barrel, the 440ci six-pack (3-2bbl combo), or the amazing 425hp, 426 Hemi. The goodies didn’t stop there. You got a rally instrument cluster (with tach and 150mph speedometer), 14” white-letter tires, intermittent wipers, heavy-duty brakes, and a stripe kit of...

Interior
The Challenger’s interior look was one that was familiar for anyone who had driven a Dodge/Plymouth product in the past couple of years. The vinyl or leather bucket seats were tall and shapely (no bench option). There was an optional center console or you could have your 4-speed on the floor. There were 3 steering wheel options – 2 sporty and one with the classic horn ring. The dash either sported the basic set of gauges or the performance ones with the taller numbered speedometer and tach. C...
Hoods
Challenger hoods, like many muscle cars of the era, were available in many varieties. The standard hood would be rather plain with a couple of indentations to take away front the completely flat look. It was good-looking but definitely plain. The one pictured here is an orange R/T hood and is potentially the one you’d see the most on performance Challengers. With this hood, there are 2 vent openings and potentially the striped look here. Either way, it was a much more bold statement. The next...
1970 High-Performance Engine Specifications
In the Mopar world, the engines make the value of the vehicle. You’ll most likely never find a 383ci Challenger that even remotely out-prices a Hemi. That said, all of the engines for 1970 were good running motors. 1. First on the list is the 198ci I6.This motor was very underpowered – even for the smaller Challenger – but would still get the job done. 2. Next was the juggernaut 225ci I6. This motor – by most mechanic’s standards – was near indestructible. There are stories of motors lasting...
1970 Challenger Transmissions
The Challenger line-up would give a few options for your purchase depending on your needs for everyday driving or performance. 1.

This was available in A903/904 for the lower engines and A833 for the engines bigger than the 318ci. 2. The next style for the performance engines would be the 727 Torqueflight automatic. This was used in anything above the 340ci engine and was...
