- 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 426 Hemi N94 Hood-Muscle Car Of The Week Video Episode #164:
On this episode, we're spending a few minutes with a very cool and unusual 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T. If the bright red color and 426 Hemi V8 weren't enough to make it stand out, the special fiberglass N94 hood should make Muscle Car fans take notice. Supposedly there were only 4 R/T cars built with the TA style hood, and this is the only known Hemi powered version left. From The Brothers Collection.

been lusting after a 70 Challenger R/T since 1971 when I was 17 and watched Vanishing Point
Not to take away from this beautiful car, but did anyone see the white suv going backwards down the road at about 38 secs.
and fast too
Just saw it lol
Clearly they reversed this shot in post-processing.
Hahaha your right . needed a second look I reckon 😂
just saw it
Sorry but, damn, i love those color steel wheel with the dog dish hub cap.
Me too. I love that look. Just makes the car look like it's all business. I'll take steelies and poverty caps over Rallye wheels or Magnum 500s any day
@@jeremythompson9122 yeah
who needs a radio when you can listen to the built in one. “this is V8 496 radio, up next the classic hit single, Kill All Tires. from the band V8 choir.”
FYI >>> Flip Top Fuel cap has an option on R/T cars they came standard with a color matched twist on cap. Also the Shaker hood was an option on 70 Hemi Challenger cars or else you would get the standard Power Bulge R/T hood.
Where is the button to like more than once ?
This machine looks FAST just standing still
? At the 00:36 mark the white SUV in the backdrop is going backwards . Did i see that right?
Yep, I also notived that video is reversed at that part :)
Hi speed reversing practice.
Gary wood that is so crazy! I wonder if they just inserted that clip in reverse because it showed the car better?
S. Wilcox - if they are hiding probably not.
I’m a Mopar guy from birth and I would have lost the bet that you could option an N94 hood on anything other than a T/A. Wow.
That's an absolutely awesome beast challenger n fabulous 1970 design
Excellent vídeo, i love the mopar cars, and that Challenger looks beautiful with that hood, knew not of that option. Greetings from Chile
Oh my god I remember this I heard about this many many years ago but this amazes me because there were two hemis sold and almost two days after it was sold it was wrecked (one of the two) and the car was never known as rare until now
I believe I can fill in some of the story on the "gone missing" Hemi Challenger with the T/A hood. An automotive machinist in Seattle and his buddy ordered a black(I think, it WAS over 50yrs ago) 1970 Hemi Challenger in the Spring/Summer of '70. I had just picked up my '70 AAR, and by chance we both worked in adjacent businesses in Ballard. Ken Y. & Dennis S. had bought it expressly for drag racing. They told me that due to shortages, the factory couldn't deliver it with the shaker hood, and to save time filling the order, they offered to substitute the glas T/A hood. I heard they kinda tore it apart to lighten it, and it was destroyed in a towing accident on the way to the Winternationals in '71.
Your story is correct and the car still exists! Awaiting restoration
Its got to be one of the most COOL car, ever... A work of art.
Tell the resto guys freaking unbelievable paint the color is gorgeous its popping in the overcast light day....wow
The host is a class act. He gives the cars an extra something
I unfortunately did not grow up during this time period but for being in my early 20s there is much more want for this car than those on the market currently... contrary to my name I now own a 2016 torred challenger scat pack and love the car but nothing will ever beat the late 60s early 70s (72 or earlier) time period
I knew the family of this car in Florida. It was the first time I'd seen an authentic Hemi car outside of a show and I was blown away.
What is the man’s name Jim Hopkins?
@jameshopkins5702 no Sir, it was Mr. Ricketts. His son and I have been friends since school. I feel it is an absolute travesty that the Son does not own the car today, such is life sometimes. We used to sit and stare at that car. I can still see the polyglass tires slightly losing air and see the light reflection in the paint. Great memories!
DID someone see the that little white care go backwards cuz i think i did
These older hemi cars r looking good 4 investment purposes every year it sees they go higher
0:37 ! Lol
Beautiful Challenger. My favorite Mopar.
One sweet ride !
I took the lighter factory hood springs off my T/A to prevent the hood from bowing in the middle.Lived with a custom chrome broom handle to keep the hood open.
Every time I watch one of your videos, I get drool on my beard.
Awesome.....So trick the wheels are awesome. tired of seeing all those black wheels on every single car in the world now
Beautiful car
This is really rare with a ta hood but looks awesone and the wing and the steel wheels and the chin spoil never seen one with a factory t/a scoop but I always loved this scoop and wondered why they didn’t offer it on a challenger I always loved this hood also the delete stripe package it’s beautiful I know guys who have drive high dollar mopars from Ontario Canada to Carlisle and raced it before they sold it love this car thank you for all the fine mopars
I don't know if I like the T/A hood or the shaker hood better their both awesome.
0:36 are we just gonna ignore the little car tearing it in reverse?
I have a 2016 Hemi Challenger R/T. Best car I ever owned!
5.7 L Hemi, 375 HP, 8-speed Automatic, original factory, no mods. Most powerful vehicle I ever owned. I was lucky to find one in white (I am in Florida).
Great backwards driving there!!!
Nice!
I believe I'd marry that car.❤️btw, the white SUV isn't going backwards, the film is. Editing mistake.
Wow that is an beautiful car! I have never seen a challenger rt with a t/a hood from the factory, didn't even know that was an option. Do you know if the t/a rear spoiler was also an option on the rt? Who are the brothers? These guys own only the rarest of the rare.
Victor Xavier - the Koch brothers. Elderly billionaires. One recently passed away.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't there also a 1971 Challenger with it? This car was actually what led me to a huge muscle car forum.
Yes, there was... still all 425 hp in that last year.
Please, show us the flip up fuel gauge. :- )
I so want this one. Or at least a scat pack 2019 like this so cool
0:38 my man was a bit lost
i love this car is like a 4 stroke that acts like a 2 stroke!
It would be so awesome to go into a dodge dealer and say I want a new challenger setup just like this one but I would rather have the original
I dont care if the new ones are faster, more comfortable, more fuel efficient, and handle and stop better. I'll still take a 70-71 Challenger R/T or 70 Challenger T/A any day over a new Challenger R/T. Don't matter to me whether it's a 340, 383, 440, or 426 Hemi. Today's cars will never be around in 50 years. There's way too many electronic/computer controlled gadgets in them and those components generally do not last that long. The old cars are mostly all mechanical parts. They have no computer. Not even fuel injection. They are really simple to work on compared to the newer cars and there's way less shit that can go wrong. The average guy can barely even work on them anymore because they're so complicated with all the computer gadgets
@@jeremythompson9122 Ikr? the early 1900s up to the early 1970s were the best time for cars. I will admit the 1990s to 2010 was a great era for cars too
Nice car 🚗
What a beautiful, desirable car! Would love to have it. But the hood has an unsightly gap between it and the right fender. Other than that - flawless!
Check out the white car in the distance starting at the 36 second point of the video. LOL 🤣
At the Chrysler Employee Motorsports Association Charger 50th anniversary car show, I saw a 1970 Challenger R/T 440+6 convertible with this fiberglass hood, it looked legit and had the light hood springs. Forgot to check the fender tag.
انها السياره الرائعه 👍
Also R.T."s 426 Hemi"s Would Come With The Ralley Hood !!!, Which I Owned A 440 - 6 Pack & I Already Knew,In The 70s There Was A Commercial On The Ralley Hood Where They Explained How Was Set Up By Takeig Couple Screw"s Off & It Opened Up The Scoop"s , Same On Cuda"s Hood, As Said From Owning 1, Knew That !!!!
Be interesting to see what it's worth. Very unique.
رائع جدا
Can you imagine driving this car cross-country with no p/s or p/b? Not for the faint of heart!
Aah, I believe it had power brake booster. I wasn't looking for power steering details
@@budlanctot3060 Just sayin'
👏🏻🔥
Good
Does anyone know how I can find out how many 1970 440 six packs challenger's were made with a 410 Dana and a torque flight ?
The racing purpose built car, owned by a mechanic who likewise raced makes sense given the options and lack thereof. The shaker, while a cool street effect and visual, would just add weight and minimal performance value compared to a fiberglass snorkel hood.
I beleive when you ordered the hemi in the 70 challenger, you could either have the ralley hood or shaker hood. The 70 Cuda you could only get the shaker hood only.
AAA Top Shelf #1
Drinking game - drink whenever Kevin explains what organisol is.
That TA hood is just a good looking hood....a lot of times the customer with the money in their hand said hey i dont like the look of this what else is available...yeah i bet ur right was probably an employee car they had more access to option specs an avsilabilty....have u seen dodges racing hood its not as pretty as this the opening is bigger an its shorter and not as extravagant looking....plus shaker is steel right an so is shaker so the weight savings was probably close to 25 or 30 pounds check it the shaker was a cast piece i have a friend who was making shakers out of fiber glass that where i got my scoops in 1982 ish .he was actually having someone make the parts....the scoops on the quarters were very hesvy compared to my fiber glass replicas 7 pounds to may be 2 pounds which as a racer was cool....ill bet it was an employee ordered car.....do u guys knowbit would be cool to know in race prep and hop up additions to the motor for drags what kind of horsepower the street hemi was able to get up to....i know the race hemi was like 2000 horsepower with 15 to 1 compression an 16 spark plugs but it was a race only motor i know a guy who had one in a Duster on the north east
Me too.
Perfect car, im not fan of stripes at challenger's, that red/black whit that hood works perfect, also wheels is right. Maybe only what would be missing is 4-speed.
I am from WI at the WI/IL border. U said prior fish scale type paint? Midwest? Feel like that sounds familiar to something I've seen or read about. Bad ass!>
1971 was the only other year this Challenger had the Street Hemi as an option.
When did they put the fuel cap on the passenger side?
Pretty color...ur getting line lock for ur birthday....
Could someone explain exactly what is The Brothers Collection?
The flip open fuel gauge has to be pretty rare 1:55 ?
Didn't I see this a couple of days ago??
I thought the Shaker was a Hemi Cuda option only.
TA HOOD
Haven't watched it yet, but I'll say FM radio.
II''d hate to think Chrysler was to Cheap to include a rAM radio w speaker let alone a door mount mirror? Lol
😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What about the white Jeep Compass, Run it back!
Your getting line lock for your birthday u earned it hah hah hah
I.6 mill to buy that one today I bet 👍
0:36有个白色车在马路上倒着行驶。警察也不管一管😂
sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
It would have made its owner some cash on the street back in the day! Lol!
Even more today
I bet whomever ordered this car new is now kicking themselves for ordering the depreciation package, known by some as the automatic transmission. Probably makes this car worth about 50K less at auction.
Well, seeing that the car listed for around $4k new and is now worth over $450k (according to Hagerty), not much depreciation seems to have occurred.
Why these hemis so rare now...when I was a kid almost everybody had one..even little old lady's bought them for grocery shopping....
no they didn't Hemi's even back in those days were very scarce Chrysler never made a lot of them as everybody knew they were not a street engine and a real pain in the ass to keep running right. Add the fact that they got horrendous gas mileage with 2 4bbl. carbs. More engines were produced for race cars more than anything. Research the production numbers you'll see.
@@bultacowally 1970 and '71 were the only two years the Street Hemi was an option for the Challenger and Barracuda... most had the 225 Slant Six and others the 318, 340 or 360 LA small block V8s.
The reason behind the availability of the Street Hemi was because, in 1965, NASCAR's Bill France complained that Chrysler and Ford were duking it out over each other and that did not translate well to good viewership of these races. He stated that if Chrysler and Ford were to use these complex, high-dollar engines on the race track, they would also have had to build a portion of them for civilians. Ford said no at that time, but Chrysler went ahead and released its so-called 425-horse "Street Hemi" to the public in 1966. Ford eventually did release its own civilian version of its NASCAR racing engine, the Boss 429, in 1969.
good looking car but despite all of the options available they were still only 13-14 sec cars . and that's with a 4.10 gear . same thing as the " black ghost " hemi challenger . 4.10 with a 4 speed and Hemi . again 13 sec quarter mile at best . and the " brothers " collectors are a big part of driving the prices up on classic muscle cars by buying them all up .
The hood appears to be lifted up in the outer center not level with the fenders
Chrysler quality control....
That happened to a lot of the 1970 AAR 'Cudas and Challenger R/Ts. The hood springs were a little too stiff, so they bowed the hoods over time. It had nothing to do with quality control.
As you say you can see it on AAR Cuda's and Challenger T/A's though I doubt it's from the springs, cars with the fiberglass hoods have much lighter hood springs than a steel hood car. It probably is a quality control issue, some hoods are OK, some are bowed. A supplier issue maybe, I doubt these were made in house. It can be cured by putting steel or aluminum round tubing in the support channels of the fiberglass hood.
Hood Springs warp them over time....Thats how you spot an original one. It's Warped
has nothing to do with quality control (you dumbass) OR hood springs. They were made that way by an outside vendor that Chrysler never sent a model hood from which to pattern after so the manufacturer ended up "shooting from the hip" when making them and these warped looking hoods were the result.
So here's the story I got about the T/A hood on Hemi Challengers from a guy who owned a Dodge dealership in Northeast Ohio back in the 1960's through 1990's. Apparently the supplier of the Challenger Shaker hoods experienced a major fire in their factory which destroyed the tooling for Challenger Shaker hood at the start of the 1970 model year. The number of true 1970 Challenger Shaker hood cars is 36. The N94 option was then fulfilled using the T/A hood moving forward. A lot of guys later on replaced the T/A hood on Hemi Challenger N94 cars with aftermarket Shaker setups, thinking the T/A hood setup was not original.
Someone had taste.
0:36 WTF
It cry’s for mag wheels. I know it has to stay original ):
No radio, very weird. I guess they weren't drinkin' Pabst Blue Ribbon, or smokin' weed either.
Don't really need a radio when you've got the 426 hemi soundtrack to listen to, especially with the right exhaust system
Would still bring some PBR and a fat joint though lol
and to think i threw out (4) poverty rims and (4) dog dish caps back in the `70s. Ahhhhh!!!!!
john a. Ahhh indeed! I just had to pay a small fortune for the same setup! 😂
There was a mustang ad before this like do you want to hit a crwod
some awful colourways on the Challengers, I always think the plain white RT440 is the iconic
These brothers guys need to give up cars for someone else! 🧐
More toys for middle aged fanboys. This is a stripped down car , period.
The snobbish volcano whitely appreciate because viola disturbingly sail failing a gabby father. lyrical, willing millennium
Priceless car. Let’s do a stupid burnout with it.
Wow that is an beautiful car! I have never seen a challenger rt with a t/a hood from the factory, didn't even know that was an option. Do you know if the t/a rear spoiler was also an option on the rt? Who are the brothers? These guys own only the rarest of the rare.
yeah who are the brothers ore is it his brother
