Properly maintained classic Dodge Chargers can fetch six-digit numbers at auctions or on the used car market, and this 1970 R/T makes no exception. The V-Code 440 Six Pack is 1 of just 2 ever made in this Panther Pink paint job!

Advertised by Mecum for the Kissimmee, Florida, auction that takes place between January 2 and 12, it’s estimated to sell for $175,000 (Dh640,000) to $250,000 (Dh920,000).

3/10

It still has the original body panels, factory-correct colour with a contrasting white roof...

4/10

It is just one of only two built in this spec making it exceptionally rare.

5/10

Details like R/T door scoops, body line pinstriping, a wraparound front bumper, covered headlamps and chrome exhaust tips are all part of the package.

6/10

Five-spoke wheels shod in Goodyear Polyglas tyres finish off its stellar appearance.

7/10

It has the original matching-numbers 440/390 HP Six Pack engine under the factory hood, using three 2-barrel Holley carburetors to roar down the highway. On this car, it was backed by the A727 TorqueFlite automatic and an 8.75 differential with 3.23 gearing.

8/10

The V-code 440 Six Pack V8 produced plenty of tyre melting torque...

9/10

The interior is in mint condition as well, with everything looking very good, including the bucket seats, upholstery and woodgrain trim.

10/10

This hot, beautiful Charger R/T is both a handful and an eyeful.
