In 1970, Dodge kicked off the new decade by rolling-out an impressive line-up. This guide covers two of those special models. The beloved Dart took on a fresh look that year and continued to provide solid and stylish transportation. When optioned correctly, you could add sporty to that list of descriptions, too. Of course the big news out of Dodge for the 1970 model year was the introduction of the Challenger. What was it challenging? The sales of the Pontiac Firebird and Mercury Cougar, primarily. The Challenger was big, brawny (yet good-looking) and available with a huge variety of options and trim levels. Power was not a problem. Dodge basically gave you the pick of the litter when it came to engines. It's a good thing this guide has you covered no matter which mill is under your hood. In fact, power plants discussed in this guide include the 198 and 225 cubic inch, 6-cylinders, as well as the 318, 340, 383, 426 Hemi and 440 cubic inch V-8s. That's right, in 1970 you could equip your Challenger with the big dog 440 cubic inch beast, or even the legendary 426 Hemi. Over the years, many have described the Hemi as a borderline race engine...I noticed that they conveniently failed to mention which side of that border it falls!

Just one year after these new 1970 Challengers entered the muscle car race and started lighting up the showrooms (and their poor rear tires), Hollywood came calling. A film named Vanishing Point hit theaters and became a "must see" for those folks attracted to car movies. Of course there were actors and actresses involved, but to the gear-head crowd, the movie starred a white 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T. The car spends about an hour and a half blazing across the United States taking on all comers (including the law) in a glorious 1970s random adventure style story. If your vintage Mopar can now be more accurately described as vanishing PAINT than vanishing point, then you'll truly appreciate using this reproduction factory guide.
