- Steve Magnante's Junkyard Crawl is a guided tour through some of the country’s best stashes of mangled muscle cars, antiques and special interest vehicles. In this episode Steve finds a 1970 Challenger R/T!
I can watch this stuff all day long........
Wow that's clean solid looking challenger.make a great project.thanks for sharing
Absolutely Feckin Awesome
Thank you Steve!! what a great wealth of knowledge of the history of these cars. glad it's not lost.
Back in the 80's I bought a 70 Challenger 318ci car with column shift- it had been fitted with a 383 and turned into an RT clone. I put in a B and M floor shifter- turned heads!
when I saw that interior shot at 1:30 it brought me back to my days in the early 80's when I had one of my own. Loved that car.
I’ve got one of those V-code 70 challengers in my back yard. It didn’t have a console either, but was a factory pistol grip 4 speed.
I sure hope somebody got that and restored it. Looks like it has perfect floor pans and good bones.
Those shiny new-looking VIN plates look VERY suspicious in that stripped out and rusty old hull of a 1970 Challenger that's been sitting in the woods with no windows or hood.
He cleaned the vin plate so people could see it. Do you need a new glasses prescription.
@@thomaswoody2733 At 2:05 in the video I didn't see him clean that shiny VIN plate. Perhaps your glasses are better than mine. In fairness, it's probably a real 440 six-pack car since it's sitting in a junk yard but "buyer beware" because there are LOTS of scammers out there today faking expensive classic cars and especially muscle cars. There are endless horror stories of people getting ripped off.
@@1notgilty Obviously he cleaned the plates BEFORE they shot the video...
Vin plate is aluminum. Doesn't rust
Steve, great episode! I would live to say yes, I'll save it! But instead of giving Roadkill the money how about forking some over to you so you could assist with them going to a good home. Just maybe the "Disgustang" could be saved as well considering the rarity of 69/70 Mach 1's. Love the F&F brothers but let's start restoring the few that are left.
how do you mean? i think freiburger daily drives the disgustang.
Look forward to you and Uncle Tony doing a junkyard crawl.

The new scat pack comes with the eventual valve slap.
Nice camouflage Steve you won't scare the wild life
I am will to bet right now that car was gone after that episode! I hope it got restored! man Column shift automatic on a 440-6 that has to be Ultra-Rare Car!!
Being an automatic it would have easily outrun a four speed car. This fact was proved in my mind when as a kid I seen it proven that my dad's automatic 68 coronet would eat the exact car with only the tyranny being the difference. My dad knew a guy that had a car just like his only with a four speed and it had no chance against my dad's. I'll bet that challenger was a bad ass car and flat hauled ass! The problem is that they ran a lot better than they stopped. More go than woe you might say! Observe the missing front end!
Sure wish we could move back to cubic inches. 440, 426, 350, 383, 396, 427, etc. all meant something.
6 liters is so weak.
And I thought the PanAm tanker was epic. Nice find.
Crazy enough, I had a 1970 Challenger RT 440 6 pack also with buckets and a column shift automatic. Found it for sale in Calgary in around 1979 or so and I believe I paid around $2000 for it but don’t quote me.
If it's like my V- code car , there was also an oval plate welded to the front of the K frame with the VIN stamped in it.
Good Video!
Go man go
Mango omg epiphany
Nice car for sure! Hope someone saves it. I think it is worth it for sure.
in the 1990s I saw a 1970 Rootbeer brown E Body 440 6 pack that was also a column shift auto
I know where that exact car is, it was bought by a local garage. I'm not sure if they are going to restore it but they are restoring a bunch of mopars now.
Hey I got a question
@@coreygill586 Ask away
@@dr_olds1430 do you have any social media’s it’ll be better if we’d talked on that
@@coreygill586 I have an Instagram instagram.com/dr_olds01/
The fact is that a lot of hemi and 440 six pack cars were ordered for drag racing which explains the bench seats and lack of consoles on most of these cars. They were ordered this way for less weight and the column shift automatics were modified for reverse manual shift valve bodies.
The column mounted shifter may have been an OVERSIGHT at the factory. Try to locate the factory build sheet that was placed inside the vehicle during it's assembly. I suspect that the build sheet is still present, due to the fact that car is unrestored. Check inside the steel springs of the rear seat "seat back" cushion first, then up under instrument panel assembly second, and so on.
It should be saved, but it'll take a big money collector to do that no doubt. It'll take years to bring that back, it needs EVERYTHING.
Would be interesting to hear the story of how thst car got ordered.
now hes doing junkyard gold for motortrend
Looking for.1970 Pontiac 🔥,fire 🐦 bird bought one new when I came back from Vietnam downtown Pontiac Pittsburgh Pennsylvania!! 😇😎Capt. Jac ☠️
I know where one of the 1640 are... In my brother's garage LOL
Grave Yard Cars could salvage that jewel.
It needs Graveyard Carz….
that thing is in a rest shop as the tape ended .......................
Vintage looks to new for rest of car..no rt holes for emblem on back either
vin # looking like it jus got put on......
thanks for posting samples, i know I'm not missing much now :)
Great video but the voice volume good be kicked up and music volume toned down. Could barely hear you talkin but when music cut in damn I need new eardrums!
Dodge didn't have a pony car hot rod? What about the 273 commando, the dart GTS 383 commando or 340
When did they start putting shift column in cars didn't they normally put the shfter on the steering column
call the guy from that graveyard cars show. he'll save it
Wish I could afford to restore that car
Rhinebeck NY
Do you know exact info of the place?
I know where there is a gutted 70 hemi cuda roller sitting. It will rot into the ground before they spend a dime on it.
I think the earlier barracudas were definitely proper muscle cars. If you compare engines to engines
No... the early barracudas were regular compact cars like the Chevy Nova or Ford Falcon. ALMOST muscle cars, ALMOST "pony" cars... but not quite.
I want that car
Where is this junkyard in the middle of the woods
judging my the Moss Growing on the Dashboard it would be A lot of Body rot and A lot of money, plus the engine is gone.
it is still worth a lot though man! as long as you got all the fender tags it is still worth it to fix being a 440-6 auto column shift that is an Ultra-Rare Car!!!
@@Canadiancarguy1987 Man to think when I was in High School they were everywhere! My friend had A 1970 AAR Cuda 340 small block 6 pack, we were so Dumb, pulled out the 340 and put A 440 in it, The 340 probably never reunited with that car.
@@stevenparker1063 Don't you wish you could go back in time and invest in some land and possibly some "Shipping containers" back when OPEC shot through the roof and you could get these cars a dime a dozen and hold on to them for 50 years and bring them back out only to retire!!! or be like Jay Leno and still keep them!
@@Canadiancarguy1987 sure do, hindsight is 20/20
@@stevenparker1063 dude I hear ya I wish I could have my parents green 1970 lemans
I want too buy it and restore it

@Magnante/
Anyone know if it's still there?
Someone commented that the car was bought
Steve why don't you save the Challenger or find some one who wants to buy it
He wants you to buy it! Lol
I want to save that 79 300 but I haven't received an answer from where it is. Anyone?
All cars are gone sorry, these videos are over 5 years old now.
@@fatfootfilms I wasn't paying attention to the channel name and thought it was a more recent video of his. Appreciate you responding and I found the car.
What in gods name is that doing in a junk yard? Nobody scooped it up yet!
well you're really buying mostly a shell and a VIN at this point. someone did. wonder what they paid for it.
When you google "skat" and google says it means poop
What rear end?
where is this place at?
+Leonard Cameron II dailydosemopar on face book has these for sale and otheres from NY.
who would want A New York Car, It's Like House in Detroit, The good ones were in CA, AZ, AnNevada, A New Mexico, And they are Very Hard to find!
Need some new stuff.
Great sir i m from sir want dodge used taillight set will u plz arrange for me

Go Man Go paint? You mean Go Mango?
Spelled "Go Mango", pronounced, "Go Man GO". LOL
Give me $100,000 and I'll use it to save that car, if i can do it for that.
I can do it for that, but it’s only worth about $75000. Non matching numbers and automatic. 4 speeds worth $20000 more.
And yet ANOTHER CANDIDATE for salvaging/salvation when I become world dictator!
you ask if someone will save this car? yes if only the owner will sell it for what it is , a piece of junk that will need lots of parts and money to save it. but i bet the owner paid 100.00 for it and now wants 20 or 30 thousand for that piece of shit rust bucket.
i just dont get why they play music in the background like some car shows on tv including overhaulin i mean whats the point i find it really annoying as i prefer to listen to the actual programme !! rant over 🤐🤐
naaah sorry i couldnt do it i had to turn it off musics doing my head in !!
I picked up a 383 71' cuda' the previous owner didn't like the original column shift so he used a cutting torch and cut that tunnel you are showing. Then he put a manual trasmission ☝ up the space. I was just glad in 83' to pay $3000. It was orange nlack billnoard fual exhaust panel in the rear. I went to Crysler dealer paid $100 each exhaust. My friend had restorded a junkuard roadrunner to running conition i got a pistol grip shifter and a pair. The previous owner kind of snickered that he had dropped a cam in it but i could see the edelbrock manifold and holley carb. The motor incredably strong. The clutch was very weak from all the modifications the front flash panel look like they had hit every pothole in Texas. It drove 1200 miles to up north. I had the rear wheel bearings replacef. He was a full time mechanic and recommended it before the trip. Cuda'
Short, concise, and always interesting.
Feels like a channel with 1,000,000 subscribers, and certainly should be.
