The car was originally a 1970 Challenger SE hardtop (JH29), according to the fender tag, and it had a 318ci V8 with a two-barrel carburetor (E44) and a three-speed A904 automatic transmission (D31). The tag also states that the vehicle’s original finish was Light Gold Metallic (FY4), with a bucket-seat interior with black leather upholstery (HRX9) and a black complete vinyl top (V1X).
Because it is registered in a state where titles for cars of that age are not issued, the car is untitled. With its transferable New York registration, it is being sold.
