18:11 joe said he's doing 55mph in a 30mph zone as a cop drives right by. His reaction looking back in his rear view was priceless...😆
My dad and I have a 70 AAR CUDA stock / numbers matching … Love seeing this .. when cars were cars
Define a car lmao
Great cars, one of my favorites. What color?
When cars were cars! 💯🔥
THAT'S the one! The 340 CID AAR was the best handling hot pony car out there in my book.

Joe's face looking back at the cop he passed lol
Good eyes ! 😂
Lol 😂
I know, I caught that, the look on Joe’s face is priceless!😅
One of my top fav classic muscle cars, such a beauty!
I hope younger folks will memorize this engine's sound and realize the thrill of raising the hood on a car like this. We didn't need AC, either, we just rolled the windows down lol...thank you, Joe, for making me smile throughout the whole review (I'll bet you had your own youthful flashback when you spotted that cop)!
As a 13 year old, all of these old v8 and v6 muscle cars are very amazing. We have to give a round of applause for the old factories who did a good job on vehicles, unlike lots of today's muscle cars. (Electric concepts cars)
Ran a 'vette down...'nuff said 😎👆👍. Had to be there
I'm 31, and even I find the '70 Challenger was one of the greatest muscle cars ever built.
Dang global warming need that AC now lol
Respect to souls who have restored and kept the classics alive.
Seeing one on road once a blue moon is a treat.
Driven more in this video than it has been in the last decade.
Still say, boomers had the speed racer life... and we invented drifting...on the highway at 2 a.m. 😎👆👍
Something is definitely wrong with the hood vents because y 1970 Challenger RT 440 Magnum my hood scoops are full functional. My air breather has 2 inlets that face directly into the hood scoops that gives it forced air induction. If the hood s hoops are none functional that it was either the inline 6 or 318. The 340-6 Pack had 390 HP and 490 ft Lbs torque. That 440 got that 490 ft Lbs of torque at just 2800 RPMs instead of 4,000 RPMs like the 426 HEMI.
I am... just speechless because that IS my all time favorite muscle car in general. True 🇺🇸 classic!
I’m so glad that I can bring it to you! It really is a dream machine!
@@RaitisRidespersonally, I love 1969 chevy camaro ss. 👍 but that's just me.
Positraction was a GM brand name for a limited slip differential. MOPARs limited slip was called Sure Grip.
This is absolutely a stunner. As a child I remember the Trans-am would make me stop n stare in awe! Can't go wrong with muscle cars.
Mom had a 70 Challenger new in November of 1969 in CALIFORNIA SoCal 😊 She now has a 2010 R/T Challenger bought new in Inferno Red black R/T hood to fender stripes. My daily bought new is a 2014 Challenger R/T Classic in Plum crazy.
Beautiful man's car. To say they don't make cars like this anymore would be an understatement.
That plum crazy STILL pops today when you see them. 🔥🔥🔥
My first car was a '70 Roadrunnerwith that same pistol grip. Learned the dance the hard way. My buddy had that same challenger, but orange. Great memories ! Thanks Joe
Joe is the absolute definition of a 'Car Enthusiast '!
I like when you nervously looked a few times in the rear view mirror when driving by that cop car 😄
Always gotta keep a lookout
What an absolute treat going On Throttle in my favourite year and model. If only it was Vanishing Point White. Thank you Joe.
It's rare to find these types of cars. Everyone wants to keep theirs. Beautiful car.
This is so very true
Man ur blessed id do anything to ride in this beast😩😩😩
I’m just so grateful I can share it with you!
My brother had a yellow ‘74 Challenger with the Rallye package with black strobe stripe decals seemingly coming out of phony side air vents on each door. This sport appearance package included the bulging twin nostril hood. He was able to pop off the inside caps blocking the hood scoop openings which allowed cool air into the engine bay when driving especially on the highway.
4 eyed 2 door purple petrol eater. Classic beast of a machine right here. Thanks for throwing more old-school goodies on your channel Joe. The way you keep things interesting and diverse is very much appreciated. Steven's pro shot high quality camera work showcases and captures the true beauty of these classic works of art. Great work fellas.✌️
It may not be the king of muscle cars, but it certainly is a prince! Beautiful car.
I like what you did there
What’s the king of muscle cars?
@@SidneyRJames Lots of possibilities, but I imagine the late 1960s 426 Hemi would be the top choice for many. It came in several body styles from Dodge and Plymouth, including the Challenger and Cuda. The L-88 427 Chevys and Boss 429 Fords can make a good case, although technically the 429 Mustangs were pony cars and not muscle cars. The Pontiac GTO is generally considered to be the first muscle car, so it might get a mention even though it couldn't run with the Hemis.
As much as i love this Plum Crazy version, I'd still choose the Black Ghost. I love the mystique and lore that goes with that car! Either way, you cant go wrong with a 70s Challenger!!
story was made up
Buy the car not the story, even if it's a good one.
Fck, this car is a dream 😍
Tell me about it Omar!
Starting up this car is an event......a beast ......not really meant to run errands or pick up a quart of milk. A true classic. Thanks for the memory Joe. PS: PUNCH IT
Damn that looks and sounds so good. The older cars you can't replicate the driving experience.
This era is when American cars were top of the world.
I know they’re not period-correct and the drone will drive you crazy, but this Challenger needs some Flowmasters. 😊
The engine roar accompanied by the gear whine makes for a muscle car symphonic "eargasm!"
You are so very spot on about that,
Back in the day, a 4 speed was a lot of gears, and they really were faster than an automatic. I forgot what the window roller was called, a "window crank" and just about all cars had them.😊
Imagine the sound with headers and free flow exhaust!!! Is there cowl induction at the back of the hood to feed the open air cleaner??? I had a 71 Road Runner with 383 and pistol grip. It was a blast to drive-so many great memories.
Wow, joe this is a beautiful car and I love the engine, who needs a/c when you are in a classic car lol, thanks for sharing my friend.
Jor, love thr 1970 Dodge Challenger and even though it was low on tech by modern standards I feel like this disciple of the muscle cars looks good.
Such a gorgeous car.
I’m a techie, Network Engineer. I enjoy technology.
But man, the simplicity. Part of me still yearns for simple.
As far as Florida with no AC, it is no bueno. Joe was sweatin’ like he was working out. It’s Hot here!
But the car is a Dream. A Plum Crazy Dream car.
And so simple…Got fire? Got fuel? Vroom!
Love these classic reviews!! Gorgeous Mopar!!
My 2nd favourite MOPAR behind the 69-70 Charger R/T
My sister's first car was a 1971 Green Challenger. It was the first and only car we went over 100mph. My sister wanted to keep it. When she was deployed in the Navy her ex husband sold it for drugs. She was pissed. One good reason for my 2017 SRT392 was the retro look. Mine is Octane Red that looks like retro candy apple red with 20 inch Brass Monkeys. The plan is to keep it, even when gas is 10.99 a gallon when 45% are in Evs.
Beautiful plum color classic Dodge muscle car bro love these old school cars
I’m so glad that I can bring it to you
I am classic muscle car shopping. Many great cars, cuda, chevelle, charger, camaro, challanger top my list but I might just buy anything if it wins me over maybe even a mustang. 1965 buick riviera with the clam shell headlights. Mercury lead sled, 41 Willy's coupe.
What a car! Brings back memories of my cousin's '70 Challenger T/A. It wasn't a big block, but it could sure push you back in the seat. The 340 6-pack was severely underrated - MOPAR, Ford and Chevy all rated their Trans-Am cars (Challenger T/A, Cuda AAR, Boss 302, Z/28) at 290 hp. Ha. But, thanks for the insurance help. Great review. Hope to meet you if I can win it.
I would love to be there when you pick her up Ronald.
I had a '71 Dodge Challenger with 440 6 pack, Ederbrock High Rise Manifold, Hooker Headers, Crager Mags, Micky Thomson L50 Tires, Air shocks.
From Australia: Awesome man, the absolute best
Love the Challenger Joe, would have bought a new Demon but I like convertibles and I didn’t want to pay an extra $26k to make it a convertible. I’m happy keeping my C4 Corvette and ZL1 convertibles. Gm guy my whole life but I did have 5 Viper trucks and I wouldn’t mind getting another one !
Raiti, your channel, and the many great videos you created on Challengers, led me to purchase a beautiful, 2021 Challenger WBSP in Hellraisin with the Eibach Pro kit as you showed on your video of a Sinamon Stick 50th anniversary Challenger WBSP with the Pro kit.
These cars look fantastic lowered.
Keep up the great content. Enjoy your enthusiasm. Donated to a worthy cause.
Im a Ford fan through and through...But back in 1970 when i was a wide eyed kid...i saw Vanishing Point...at the Cinema...and i was never the same !!! those Challengers are just Baddass !!!
That is so awesome! Thanks for letting me share this one with you!
I’m Plum Crazy about the way you ring out everything you drive.
We always changed the ri.s and tires. We also installed air shocks on it so the tire weren't shredded rubbing on the fender wells. That's what I did to my 1968 Chevelle SS 396 with two 4 barrel carbs. Oh , half ton Chevy pickup springs. I had it up to 180 mph. I have to admit, it was a bit scary, bcuz the steering sucked.
That car is worth the price of admission, Joe!
A car to pass down from Generation to Generation
This is a national treasure!
I love all the old muscle cars but the '70 Challenger was the best looking, hands down. Loving the wood steering wheel, I'd like to see them come back. You do great work and please keep the older car reviews coming.
You got it my friend!
This is the OG.
Love the evil laugh during some on throttle moment's. Like something out of a movie. It's unhinged in the best way possible.
I don't own one but I've worked on one a couple times. 440 6 pack with the A833 manual. It's a handful to drive but it's a nice toy
It's the looks for me🙌🏿🔥🔥
You brought myth of muscle cars ,Joe.
❤❤❤🙏
I love to do that for you!
@@RaitisRides You are awesome .Joe ❤
I love these classic car reviews.....this is the EXACT color I would get. My grandfather had a green base model 1970 Challenger back in the day. I wish I could afford one of these...but I could not, but I would not let my lack of funds stop me from getting a 1970 Dodge! So I looked into Darts...and even those were out of my price range, but if you look hard enough, you can still find some 4 door slant 6 Darts.....bulletproof reliability and no one wants the 4 doors, so you can get a great deal. I just got my 70 4 door blue Dart for 5000....it has the most powerful slant six offered at the time, the 225, and it is a factory A/C car. I do wish it had a manual transmission, but beggars can not be choosers! I am 29, this will be the oldest car I have ever owned...but back in 2017 I had a 1972 Pontiac Grand Prix. This Dart also has no rust, the body is in amazing condition except for a dent in the roof. Also, P.S. we need to bring back these thick tires with small rims....looks SOOO much better!
Thanks for sharing some of your past with us!
Nailed it. Great video, as always. My favorite dodge color favorite dodge car
Great review. One of the original muscle cars ..
Nice car, but the original buyer didn’t get the console or the spoiler. I guess he saved the money to get the 440 Six Pack.😁
Belonged to a Chrysler executive, so...
Love your car video
Back in the day we swapped the skinny rear tires out for the wide G-60s, L-60s or 50s series widest tire. G-60s about 8 or 9 inches, L-60s 9-11inch. 50 series wider than that. Still could have traction issues though.
😮Thanks Joe !! Love this 😍……..8 mpg ? 🤣
I knew this would be right up your alley Tom
Torque for the 440 six pack is 490, not 391.👍
Amazing review Joe.
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
Thanks for letting me share this classic with you!
Car is clean!
The cleanest.
Hey Joe this is a nice classic challenger muscle car. This car would go good with your purple challenger. By the way how is your challenger is doing? Thank you Joe for another great review. Please keep bringing on the muscle cars 👍🏾🤩
Gotta appreciate them old school’s
That’s One Badass Classic Car😯😮🏁🚗💨!!!
That purple is to die for
You sound so gay.
@@freesoul3371how does that sound gay? 💀
@@mattmekhaeil "to die for".....
A GD home run with this review! Damn!
MOPAR rules
Cool Mr. Raiti is reviewing 🚢 now 😮
A true classic!
Great review. Makes me Plum Crazy.
I can't get over how most cars had good ground clearance yeare ago now most even suvs don't. Heck this doesn't even have dumb low profile tires
This is so very true! They don’t make them like this anymore.
classic and gold! 🙇🏻♂️
This is a rare car to find nowadays.
Dodge Challenger...yup. My dream car Joe is actually the 71 Hemi Cuda.
440 engine specs are 390@4,700 rpm & 490@3,200 rpm with a 10.5 :1 compression ratio. The tilt wheel must have been a rare option. In my 30 years of being around old cars I haven't heard of the option. This car has a collapsable steering column. My pick would be 1970 Buick GSX
I love old cars one my favorite is Chevy impala 1967 I wish you would review of that sweet car
Nice car… would look even better in my garage
Positraction is a registered trademark used by GM. Chrysler would simply say limited slip differential.
😂😂😂😂😂”I took the antenna off cause……..I didn’t want it on there!!!
Nice!
I do hope you find a Buick 455 one day, Joe.
Nice Car ... 🔥🔥🔥
Lucky Raiti Ride's a Beast
Thanks for saying that David! I am just so glad that I can share it with you!
I hope you add a all the Dakota generations I wonder if you can get a 5.9 Dakota 4 door quad cad which means crew cab I hope you do all Mopar models
390 lb ft of Tq sounds low. My old 69' 383 Road Runner was rated a 425 lbs Tq SAE.
Makes me miss my 340 Cuda'
Two things id change.. 1.. that stupid plate that says " u win" as if to say i have a slow car.. nope thats gone and it ruins the look of the back.. 2. I would make those lil vents in hood functional.
Correction. Only 847 were produced as JS23 V-Code with 4-speed manual. Missing DODGE badging on front hood for some reason.
Thanks for your insight!
That’s A nice Car
Modern cars 🫤
Classic cars 😊
I see what you did there Coach! I will have more to come for you!
6 pack was good times...the downtown windows would shake rattle and roll, after sunset of course~. (just reminiscing)
Those were the good old days!
Show me a 70 LS6 Chevelle and you will be King!!!!💪
I always thought the '70 Cuda looked better than the Challenger. But I wouldnt turn it down!
5:16 no it's the other way around the modern Challenger mimicks the way the classic Challenger looks because the Old Challenger came first, the modern has to look LIKE the Old One😜
NICE
This 70’s era of Dodge is the only era of Dodge I want to hear about. I don’t want to hear about no scats. No hellcats. None of the modern Dodge crap.
