Featured in 2023 Fall Auto Auction.
If you're an avid collector or just someone who appreciates classic American muscle, the upcoming 2023 Fall Auto Auction by Specialty Auto Auction has a noteworthy listing: a 1970 Challenger with the A66 performance package. This is a numbers-matching car with a 340 4-speed pistol grip, and it's a treasure for any enthusiast.
This Challenger has a notable history. It's a third-owner vehicle that was originally sold in Southern California. In 1974, the car made its way to Colorado and remained there until it was purchased in 2017. What sets this particular car apart is its thorough, full rotisserie restoration. The car has been restored to near-original condition, offering a glimpse into automotive history.
Adding to its appeal, this Challenger is one of 1,676 hardtops finished in the EK2 Go Mango paint. The Go Mango shade is a high-visibility, high-impact color that adds to the car’s striking appearance. However, what really distinguishes this Challenger is the V02 option—a white painted roof. As of now, it's the only known example of a Go Mango Challenger with this particular feature.
The A66 performance package itself is a rare find. While exact numbers are not available, it's understood that the A66 package was not a common choice, making this already rare car even more of a collector's item. The package included various performance enhancements and upgrades that turned the Challenger into a more dynamic and powerful machine.
As for its mechanical condition, the numbers-matching 340 4-speed pistol grip ensures that the car remains true to its original specs. Its meticulously restored state means that it's more than just a showpiece; it's a piece of history that you can actually take on the road.
For those interested in owning a unique piece of American automotive history, this 1970 Challenger A66 with a Go Mango finish and white painted roof is not to be missed. The auction provides a rare opportunity to acquire a well-preserved and singular example of muscle car heritage.
