1970 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T NOSTALGIA SUPER STOCK DRAG RACE CAR STREET OR STRIP After retiring in 2002 from the telephone industry the previous owner (The Original Bandito Dodge Racing Inc. ) started looking for another Mopar to fill in spare time when not working at Bandimere Speedway as an SFI certified tech official. In the summer of 2004 a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T - F/SA - G/SA class car was found in MN. it had been sitting for several years. stored in a heated garage. A deal was made and the car was moved to Colorado checked over and tested at Bandimere Speedway to see how competitive it would be in the thin air of Denver. This was testing only before going into a rebuild / upgrade stage and total restoration back to its hay days of the 1970's.

Life as a cruiser was short lived in the early 70's. soon it was seeing drag racing duties at local strips in the area of MN.

In this case he found that anything from major parts to the body parts were not as good a condition as thought.
