70 HEMI Charger R/T-SE 4spd, the only red one made

[njsteve]

I have been thinking about it for a while. With one of the kids getting close to college age (16 year old daughter), and the fact I haven’t been driving it in a year or so, and that I have this ongoing, unfulfilled lust for a 73 Super Duty, I have chosen to let her go (the car, not the daughter).

I probably don’t have to tell too many of you long time followers anything about the car you don’t already know after following its haunted thread:

and the Hemmings article:

But in case you are looking for the only one of its kind, here are the highlights:

-One of 10 Hemi R/T-SE Charger 4-speeds produced, (10 four speeds, 6 autos, total)

-The only red Hemi R/T-SE produced

-17,000 miles (same owner for past 24 years, I bought it with 12,234 miles)

-Unrestored. Repainted twice by me: in 1987 and 2004. Original leather interior, original undercoated belly.

-I am the second owner to drive it after the original owner, here in NJ. The car was off the road from 1975 to 1987. Owners 2 and 3 before me never got it running.

-Complete provenance since October 1969, documented. All three prior owners (all in NJ) interviewed and reunited with the car. All of them confirmed the car’s mileage, provenance and history.

-It has the entire dealer file that documents the original owner’s buying experience from inspiration in October 1969, to consummation, on to conception, and through delivery on Jan 3, 1970. More documents than the car is long, literally

-Dealer installed tubular headers from 1970 “Hustle Stuff”catalog, installed prior to delivery as documented by original dealer paperwork.

-Fastest stock hemi car I have ever owned: 12.77 @111 mph on street tires, (original owner got a 11.70 out of it when he raced it at Englishtown in the early 1970’s)

-Hemmings Muscle Machines called it “The Most Documented Hemi Car in Existence”

-Probably the most well-known Hemi Charger there is. Featured in over a dozen magazines and reference books over the past 24 years. There was even a scale model replica made of it a couple years ago - the entire production run completely sold out in a week! (one still in the box, goes with the car, if you want it)

She is the only one of her kind in the universe. She’s mean, nasty and will scare the hell out of you.
