[attachment=0]20180722_095938-2.jpg Just recently shipped my 1970 Dodge Challenger RT 383 here to the UK; it's one of the few known to exist produced at the Swiss assembly plant AMAG (Automobil- und Motoren AG). AMAG did the final assembly of the Challengers converting them to Swiss specifications with Kilometer odometers and European spec halogen headlights.

My 1970 Challenger RT is an original, numbers matching, low mileage (48,000 kilometers) painted in its original color of GoMango Orange with the original Burnt Orange interior. It’s highly optioned with factory AC, power windows, Rally Gauge Package, Power Steering, Power Brakes, AM 8-track stereo radio, and factory tinted windows. Interestingly, it was ordered with a column shift automatic versus the console shift automatic. It’s documented with the original build sheet and fender tags.

I’ve owned the Challenger since 2006 and have participated in many different shows and events since acquiring it to include the 2007 Jim Clark Revival at the Hockenheim Ring in Germany and the 2009 Hemmings Magazine sponsored Muscle car shoot-out at Englishtown Raceway in New Jersey. Since importing the Challenger to the UK, we have attended Spring 2018 Drive It Day at Bicester, the 2018 London to Brighton Sports Car Rally and the 2018 Silverstone RetroRun.

Welcome :) . What a stunning car! The original Owner couldn't have been short of a penny or two with all those options.

Would be great to see some more pics of it.

I may have got this mixed up Robert but did you try to contact Pete and myself last year about info on displaying at the NEC? If you did, we had no end of issues with your email address etc so weren't able to make any progress. Sorry if it wasn't you but if it was, only 12 months to wait for the 2019 show so get polishing! :D :D :thumbright: :thumbright:

Yes Steve, that was me that contacted you and Pete regarding displaying my Challenger at the NEC show; unfortunately, I was out of town last week and was unable to make this year's show anyway. But certainly would be interested in displaying it at the 2019 show.
