Is the original 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T better than the new one?

- I review the 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T with the 440 Six Pack V8 engine and 4 speed manual transmission to see if it's better than the new generation Challenger RT. This one is even cooler since it's similar to the one from Vanishing Point. Which do you prefer? Huge thanks to Ron and Sport Dimensions for providing this Mopar for me to review!

This era of cars were the best ever.
67 Chevy impala my dream car, so I have to day the 60s was the best cars ever
Pony car? Really?
This and the early-late 2000s
This was always my dream car.
THIS is the best era of cars. 797 hp challengers of the showroom floor 640hp Cadillac sedans with extreme reliability. 50 years from now were going to be drooling over the cars we see on the lots today. Now is the ERA
Hard to believe that it's a 50 year old muscle car because the design still looks absolutely brilliant.
That's because it wasn't designed on a computer. Everything beautiful & timeless is before computers... Golden Gate Bridge, the Titanic, the P-51 Mustang , etc, etc, etc.
My favorite thing about Dodge is that they kept the general idea for the design with the modern challenger. It’s a modern take on a classic. When you look at the two side by side they don’t look too different. Obviously it’s changed a lot but they’re the same but different. Especially when compared to Chevy and Ford. The modern Camaro and Mustang look nothing like their 1970 version. Same goes for the Charger. Dodge knocked it out of the park with the Challenger
Nah it’s just that the new Challenger looks old school
Love that pistol grip shifter
Long live the Mopar E body.. This is the car that makes me appreciate the new ones even more, staying true to their roots. These and the 70/71 Cuda are just so amazing to me.
My dad had a 70 Cuda that he used to race, but then street as well. I loved that car and still wish I could own it. He sold it long ago, but still has some idea as to who has owned it recently. Maybe someday I'll track that car down...(dreaming, lol).
B Body is still the best, but E body isn't bad. Cuda and Challenger both were gorgeous designs. I really wish they'd bring back REAL retro designs on newer cars instead of the "modernized retro" look like they do with the newer Challenger and the new crappy Charger EV.
Only a fool would think new cars and trucks are better than the old ones. I own and drive a 37 year old Ford truck and I wouldn't trade it for 20 new trucks.
Reminds me of the film Vanishing Point with same exact white car.
I believe this was the point
The Vanishing Point car never had the black Scat Pack stripe at the back.
Nick's Garage has the same car that looks like the Kowalski car without the black stripe
@@79tazman Nick's 1970 Challenger 440 Kowalski is a true Mopar,I watch Nick's video every Monday at 8 am,e.s.t.
Or the spoiler
Got to love a ‘70 Challenger R/T!
Joe moch for chslge 1970
And a '69 1
This car.The Charger. Superbee, Galaxie 500s, Mustang Shelby GT 500 67-70, 1998 Trans Am WS6, Roadrunners, 66-70 Chevelle, 64-70 Pontiac GTO, 68-72 Camaro, 60s El dorado, Ford GT 40, 68-72 Corvettes,. Chrysler 300s 50-60s, 60/70s Cadillac, 68-70 Mustang. Buick 6Os Rivera, 66-70 Coronet, 50s T-bird, C2 Corvettes, 55-62 Corvettes, the Cudas, Daytonas, 1932 Ford coupe, 1939 Ford coupe. and the 62-69 Impala, 67 Nova, are the best looking American cars ever produced. Hands down.
This is my dream car. A 1970 (specifically because i like the grill for that year) dodge challenger R/T. And i do want a 426 hemi with a manual but i know those are rare for an original one. Luckily mopar still makes them as crate blocks.
Oh and also i have a theory for the speedometer going to 8000. There was an option to get the 426 hemi in it, and those things revved very high for their time, around 7200
I've always loved the '70 Challenger and the 440 6-Pack motor. The image that pops into my mind instantly with the '70 Challenger is that of the film, "Vanishing Point" from 1971. The era of the American Muscle Car was truly an amazing, and fun time for Car Guys. I owned a '70 GTO Ram Air IV with p/s, but no power brakes while I was in 12th grade. Some kids had no idea what the car was while others adored it. I had it for over a year, and daily drove it to work and school before the motor blew up on my 18th birthday. Love these older muscle cars, and vibes of the classic simple lines of American Muscle. Great review Matt.
Ferrari, Porsche etc , don't even come close to these Dodge beauties. They are true supercars, the best ever made 👍
Got to love some classic American muscle🔥
Man the modern Challenger is my dream car. The Hellcat specifically. But these older ones are gorgeous.
I owned two 1970 Challenger's & now own a 2014 R/T with the Hemi which is a vastly superior car in every way as gorgeous as the '70 looks, you can have a blast with close to 400HP as a Hellcat is overkill.
TheIvanReview get a Hellcat man! They’re coming down in price under 40k for a really nice example. When you get it, enjoy it and drive the hell out of it.
Back when you had to know how to drive.
Huh????
Shepard dude what the fuck are you on about? Are you implying convenience = lack of skill? Because I’d say that’s a pretty ignorant blanket statement. Also cars nowadays are a LOT more powerful and capable. But I guess a 70s challenger with 425hp is more raw than a Hellcat challenger with 707HP and over 600 ft/lbs of torque because it doesn’t have “”gizmos”” lmao please fix yourself
@@ThatGuyWhoTr0lls
Considering that all of the major Muscle cars today seem to use computer for launch control I would say that driving a 80s Crown Vic would feel more raw that most today's cars.
HellSkat392 couldn’t have said it better.
HellSkat392 But cars today have traction control, launch control, hydraulic clutches, power brakes, power steering, better tires, better suspension. Don’t be a jackass. Most people can’t even drive a manual nowadays.
"pops out of second gear" Probably just needs a linkage adjustment.
Exactly
I wouldnt be so sure its an old ass car
Love the sound of these old cars. Guy from vanishing point must of had mad driving skills lol.
My friend had one of those cars back in the day, triple black. To say which one is better is not a fair question. It's a matter of choice, comparing the older one to the modern one is like compairing apples to oranges, the only similarity they both have is the name. The old is the old, and the new is the new, both great cars, but as for me, I prefer the old but thats me. I have a soft spot for "old school" Muscle cars.
Wow, a fantastic profile on my absolute favorite muscle car of all time Matt, a great job man! I had a Vitamin C Orange '70 R/T with 440 4-barrel & 727 automatic with 323 rear gears as well as a Black '70 318 Challenger of the many Mopars I had, only $2700 for my 440 R/T in the late 80's! I own & love my 2014 R/T Blacktop Edition with Super Track Pack & a 5.7 Hemi, it is a far better car in numerous ways compared to the 1970 as beautiful as it looks!
Yea and similar to with both being slow
@@tylercouture216 My 1970 went 146 mph & my 2014 tops out at 155 mph, not slow at all & I have owned 90 vehicles, many the very best muscle cars from every manufacturer.
Thanks Vinnie, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
vinniecorleone62 he doesn’t get it lol. None of these slow at all. Far from it. He doesn’t realize newer cars like hellcats and 392s are just crazy fast.
@@tylercouture216 - - they're slow, compared to what & what is it that you drive?
I'd buy a 70 before any new one...
when you drive a 2018 scat pack challenger this video really hits home. thanx matt🐝
That's my dream car since I've saw the original Vanishing point movie !!
Damm boy my grandpa would slap you if he seen you shifting like that 😂
He did fine, and its not his car, can't beat it too much
@Eugene Boucher as he giggled and whined like a prepubescent teen girl. I bet if you asked him about the points he would say, “they were all in the video! Didn’t you just watch it?”;)
I agree. He needs to keep his hand on the shifter when he is going through the gears.
I like your grandpa already!!!!
@@moparmike2535 no YOU don't wiggle your stick right
The classic Challenger is THE muscle car to me. Everything about it is perfect.
I really hope I can own one someday. Which is becoming harder as each year passes. They've been crazy expensive & rare for a long long time now. They are becoming rarer and more expensive each year.
One day...... one day.
The old Challengers were junk..the newer ones are better in every way
@@chadhaire1711 Lol
The new ones are giant pieces of shit.
I like how you're doing classic muscle car videos. It's good, because it seems like all the other youtubers are doing all the modern cars, which is cool but it gets old too. Keep it different bro :)
Back road reaction 11:09
qdood Thank You
You look like your having a blast in these classic cars Matt, its fun watching. Thanks for bringing back the memories.
It’s my dream car yess
Zurge ItsChromeDome I just preorder my dream car. 2020 Dodge Challenger 50th anniversary trim scat pack. Comes this spring. Can’t wait.
I'll take it over the new one, beautiful
Have you ever driven either? I have an SRT8, it's unbelievable
@@daniel2x812 I do like both, just like the original
@@dancalvano8702 sounds tempting , lm going to have to visit my local Dodge dealer and tell them to hand me those keys.
Any day bro...any day.
@@daniel2x812 that's because you've never driven the old ones. They blow away the new chargers and challengers. Even on a bad day. Learn about cars.
Really liked the scenery change in this one. Nice one Matt!
Of course not. The new one is much more powerfull, reliable , etc. But the old one has a soul for itself.
There is just something about that rumble and feel of an original muscle car. Just seeing him sit in that car as he started it for the first time triggered really fond memories. I drove a classic Mustang 289 for nearly 20 years and even without power steering or power brakes, it was so much fun to drive. Modern cars are so much easier to drive that it kind of numbs the experience.
Horn problems were relatively common on many cars back then. And the sensation of riding with 4 or more people all smoking cigarettes, each with their own ashtray, in a vehicle freshly loaded with 20gal of gasoline! Those were the days!
Thanks for another great review.
I like these classics car reviews. Keep up the good work
Course he'll keep up the work
Love the Dodge Challengers! I still can't believe these are local cars. I have never seen them out and about. Great review as always Matt!
My favorite car since my family took me to see Vanishing Point at the drive in 1971 when I was just 6 years old....I ove your style and attitude..you made me smile!
Looks a lot like Kowalski’s car!
Kowalski's car never had the black Scat Pack stripe on the rear.
And it never had the spoiler
AND Kowalski's car was a 1970 model :)
@@elizabethash-petta4830 , this is a 1970 in this video. Kowalski’s was a 1970 R/T with 440 Magnum, four speed, in Alpine white. It was also a very early production model because it had the body color fuel cap.
Would love to take this on the highway and evade police in several states! 😁
GreyC5: Today's police vehicles can keep up with this car.
Patrick De Haan Sure.. But mine would also be heavily modified to ensure my escape. But thanks for informing me on the obvious.
Dreyn 77 I have no clue what you’re going on about.. But yeah I was thinking 1k+ HP possibly awd chassis too. And lots of practice, and prep.
Dreyn 77 ok bud wtev you say.
GreyC5 - - I'm siding with you, don't pay any attention to the buzz-kill know it alls. I.M.H.O., I want to stomp on the accelerator and go FAST. I couldn't give a flip about his over-analyzing the issue. If I were to go to a dealership (& I did), used any of the technological mumbo-jumbo that he spews here (& I did not), I would buy myself whatever Challenger FELT RIGHT for me (& I did). So you do right by you, that's ALL that matters. Hmmm, see ya' Pally, go get yourself a Chally!
The new challenger is great, fast and exciting I’m so glad Dodge stepped up and did it right, still the sound,the feel, the ride in old muscle is amazing makes you smile no matter what crap happened in your day, no bells and whistles, no in dash display and bunch a nonsense, just a key, spark and loads of fuel sucked in through a big block 440
Best looking muscle car ever made 😍😍😍
Great vid on the sweetest looking vehicle Detroit has ever built! Nothing sexier than an E-Body! Crazy that they basically made an updated version of the 70-74 and has sold so well that the basic style hasn’t changed on the new Challenger it’s entire run. Pretty much proves how timeless a design that body style is.
On a side note, you look like you could be actor Jimmi Simpson’s brother.
Keep classic muscle cars reviews coming good job
He always does a good job
But but but the younger generations won't appreciate them
It is insane to think the Original was only around 1970 to 1974 & the New One 2008 - 2021 & Beyond.
Loving these classic reviews!! So cool to compare these ti today’s versions. They still pay much homage to them too!
Except for the Charger. Todays Charger looks nothing like the old chargers. I love both charger and challenger but being someone that loves old cars especially old muscle cars, i just feel more attsched to the newer Challengers because of the omage (sorry for my spelling) it looks like a uplifted version. Still getting a 73' Challenger next year when i move
Great job Matt relating your observations to our present day cars. I thought my 1969 Highland Green Mustang GT was incredible but it too jumped out of gear. Thank God it had disc brakes. It doesn’t even compare with my 2019 Bullitt.
He always does a great job
The white exterior on the 1970 Challenger is one of the best color choices IMO. This example is MINT and appears to have been rotisserie restored better than it left the factory.
I love the old Challengers, the new ones are great performers but don't look as good as the old ones.
I have a new one and have to agree. The old ones are wider and lower, whereas the newer ones look too tall in comparison. They got a lot of design cues right, but it's just how modern cars are made unfortunately.
I appreciate modern technology and all that. Dropping the right foot and banging through gears on my '70 Panther Pink beast is something today's generation will never quite understand.
I've had both and while you'll never forget the experience of the 70's version, you'll want to forget how much tinkering they required. They were constantly going out of tune, blowing header gaskets, leaks, carb issues, and electrical issues. Really fun when they worked but you spent a lot of time on them. They were also evil handling- 14" bias plies and the rubber back then wasn't anywhere near as good as what you can get today. Had an '09 SRT 8 Challenger also with a manual tranny which was also pretty heavily modified. No comparison in build quality, creature comfort, reliability, and handling. And yes, with some mods my '09 was considerably faster than my '73. Loved them both but the modern era cars are vastly superior in every way except how much attention you get at a gas station; the 70's cars always attract a crowd.
My favorite Muscle Car... Mopar is iconic...
Hello from Russia! I bumped into this video randomly, or maybe because I like challengers :D This may sound weird, but ur smile reminded me that of Jim Kerry's :DDD Thank u for reviewing this wonderful car, I wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Or at least happier than the 2020 was... Same for anyone reading this! Have the health, the nerve, the money! And a dream car!
road vibrations YES!
you can hear and see it on the camera
Sounds like it was rattling on the windersheildt or gimbal was loosen. Fahrvergnügen! anyway! - Sandy
The fact that the old V8’s did 6.3 seconds 0-60 shows how far engines have come. My brand new 2023 V6 challenger I had a best 0-60 so far of 5.6 seconds
Awesome keep up those reviews
Older challengers just look so damn good
Keep up the great work. I'm loving these classic reviews!
I'm loving em more
I'm loving the classic car reviews 👍🏿👍🏿
I'm loving em more
They are fun to drive. I have one just like it only mine is Go-Mango in color and the black hood decal. No bumble bee stripe on mine.
Great review. Cannot wait for this spring for my 50th anniversary Challenger scat pack to arrive.
Jeff 70, how much do you think this car is worth. I'd say 60k
You know , i really really enjoyed the video , the content and the car , love you brother ❤️
Rash that the stock 5.7L RT, which we think of as not being that fast would absolutely blow this car out of the water. Progress is a wonderful thing.
Jedi391 No they wouldn’t. They’re about the same performance-wise. Now the 392 Hemi, well that’s a different story. Also, for shits and giggles, throw a set of bias-ply tires like what’s on this car on your 5.7 whatever and see how it performs.
I think you are really at home filming these american classics. I really like Mopars, but never see them here in germany of course. Would love a go in a Road Runner, Challenger or Charger. Hope to see more of this collectiom👌👌👌
Imagine what the old Trans Am guys went through with the steering,etc.
I owned that exact car. Well,maybe not "exact" mine was blue with a black vinyl top. I did a lot of extensive work on it. Subbed and tubbed,4link suspension. Motor work bumped it up to 563hp and 598 lb.ft. of torque. I was basically pro street before the term was coined. Nobody ever beat me during the 3yrs. I ran the car.
Of course, had I known the factory version would be worth so much today I would never have changed a thing on the car! Nobody had a clue how the market would end up! But, I still had a helluve good time in my hotrod! I have yet to drive a Hellcat but just reading the specs tells me not to get in one. I can't afford the sticker price! So why torture myself!
The original muscle cars were the glory of automotive beauty. Yes I would prefer that many times over.
Still one of my dream cars.
Great video!
Great review!
All his reviews r great
Thanks brother. Great video. God bless you.
Was this car all original? Pretty cool to see how something like this is up close. Maybe I’d get lucky to see one at a cars n coffee but to see the interior details and learn how it drives us really fun. I always looked at them as much bigger than other pony cars, it was surprising to see how small it was inside. Great video!
My first car was a 70 Challenger. I didn't have power steering on mine either (the good old days).Thanks Matt...
Love the old E-bodies!
Nick from Nick's Garage just rebuilt one of those cars a 1970 Challenger R/T with the 440 6 pack with a 4 speed trans
Nicks car has only 1 four barrel, not a 6 pack. Nick’s challenger is very true to the Vanishing point car. Right down to the correct fuel cap.
car looks great you would never believe its 50yrs old
Had mine in 77-82 rt/se with the raised sixpack hood ,,also had the 340 which handled way better in the corners,,just to have the one today but ,,,,every time i see one just shake my head in regret
The prices on just about anything Mopar have gone through the roof as well. You end up looking at Darts and the like to try to find something even relatively affordable.
Whats the toggle switch below the reverse light for??
The 70 Challenger has been my favorite car of all time since I was like 14, when they came out with the newer Challengers, it sorta felt like they did it for me, cuz no one ever seemed to talk about Challengers, but man I always thought it was the most perfectly muscle-car-looking muscle car out there! The lines and shapes are tasteful and not overdone, there's a straight lines look to it and a curvy look to it at the same time, I love every inch of that car! Maybe if I hit the lottery or get a crazy paying gig, i'll make the one I see in my head and my dreams, lemme paint a picture for those who would nerd out about stuff like that, haha: hard top only, matte gunmetal gray with matching bumpers with a matte black hood stripe, I want the shaker popping out of the hood, but I still want the classic hood with the iconic shape and racing stripe, just fabbed with a hole for the shaker, matte black 71 AAR Cuda side stripes (my 2nd favorite car of all time) with the duckbill spoiler painted gunmetal, blacked out trim and grilles, tinted windows and lamps, rollcage, little bit bigger fat drag rear wheels and a flat black set of the kinds of rims on diesel trucks and trailers and shit, the industrial stock steel rims, only a nice looking set, going for a very Batman/Punisher/heavy metal vibe. I also always wanted to add the little vent trim pieces for the side fenders, there's one on the 71 Challenger right in front of the rear wheels, and on the 73 and 74 right behind the front wheels, I don't want the racing stripes that come out of those,, too many racing stripes, haha, but i've always wanted to add both of those to the sides of a 70, might sound weird, but that's just me. Black interior, maybe suede, with Hemi orange accents, pistol shift and as cheesy as it is, I sorta want a spare chain style steering wheel, but I want it painted to look like it's burning hot metal, I also want the engine bay and trunk and shit to be Hemi orange, the trunk mostly rhino lined though, I want the interior floorboards to be rhino lined too, I don't want it to have fabric, and I want custom matching rubber Challenger floor mats, easier to keep clean, and i'd want a badass stereo system cuz i'm a death metal guitar player, and if the engine's gonna match the caliber of the look of the car, i'll need to overpower it when I do actually wanna hear my music :P maybe with a Hellcat dropped in there, idk haha, if we're talking lottery winner status, I'd find a shell and build a new car underneath as much as I could and just have the look of the 70 just cuz I'd want it to last and be reliable cuz I'd drive that thing every day and would want to pass it on at the end of my life.
I thought I was the only one.

Love em, been enjoying your mopar reviews lately pretty cool for sure
Awesome cars when vanishing point cane out everyone wanted one
Great car! Great review!
Thanks Dennis!
All his reviews r great
The steering on non-assist manual steering has that play in it by design. It is because when you hit bumps in road the steering won't jerk the wheel from you and cause loss of control. On the steering gear box there is an adjustment screw for the gears so you can adjust the backlash if to much play is there. If it is to tight you can't turn the wheel, to loose and of course you won't have control because gears barely mesh.
I had a ‘70 Challenger 440 6 pack Banana Yellow in the late 70s. Totally fun to drive but had recurring starter issues. For me driving a new Mustang is more fun - power and handling are great and the price point is more reasonable.
Love the classic car reviews! Awesome 👏🏻
I have the one of one built 70 R/T that I got from Factory rep Lee Joyce. It ran a 9.67 right off the trailer at US 330 in Schererville Indiana Halloween week end of 1969 and was the first titled Challenger in my home state of florida. NO it is not for sale at any price so don't ask. The daily driver is a 68 road runner 440 six pack 833 and dana 60 super track pack 4.56 that I found 25 years ago outside of mount dora florida.
I have owned both, a 70' 440SixPack, 4 speed with a super track pack...(4.10 dana) back in the 70's and kept it for almost 30 years, and a 19' Scat Pack Challenger 6 speed manual....they might look somewhat similar but the rawness of the original is just so much more appealing to me, mainly because I grew up driving the original....The new Scat Pack to me feels comfortable, but big and bulky and out weighs the original by almost 500 lbs....the original looked and felt more sporty albeit a dinosaur by todays standards ....I guess apples to oranges....but if I was given a choice between the two today....the 70' with no hesitation.
Yep, that pretty much nails it. That raw driving experience is a big difference. No matter how much horsepower they put into these new cars, it's all muted by computers and damping and modern technology in general. Those things make the new cars much safer and much better drivers, but that's not really the point for any of us that grew up with a classic car. I still brake too early even what, 10 years now since I sold my 67 Mustang? 20 years without power brakes (and drums to boot) will do that to you, lol.
Back in the day, you would have been king shitz with a car like this.
I have 1970 Dodge Challenger Rt/Se 440 in perfect condition. A loaded car all the options. Seen on Facebook group called Original Reno Mopar's.
Investors and collectors have ran up the prices of the classic muscle cars so high that you are better off buying a new Challenger, Mustang, etc. I was hoping that the economic drop from COVID 19 would soften prices, but they have held steady. I was hoping that prices would drop, but screwed once again.
it has an awesome looking steering column
Good video!!
The Dodge challenger r/t from 1970 is an awesome car
That car is so cool. I wish I could drive it. I had a 70 340 Challenger auto trans.
It is better! (Just my opinion) - I would never look twice for a new Challenger but for this one, I would happily break my neck why following it. Great Classic Review again!
My dad had a 1970 Challenger R/T 440 Six Pack and 3 speed auto. It was Plum Crazy with the vinyl roof, you can actually see it in my profile picture. He also owned a 1970 Charger R/T with the same motor. He said the Challenger's front end used to lift up at higher speeds but the Charger was a great high speed car. I have a 2015 Challenger Scat Pack Shaker and love it. It's a far superior car to the old one obviously and a great high speed car. I would say if you're comparing the 1970 to the 2008-2014 Challengers, the 1970 wins looks wise by a bit. However, comparing the 1971 to the 2015 and up Challengers and the new ones win. Comparing the New Charger to the old one and I have to say the old is my absolute favorite Mopar of all time. Great review of an awesome classic Matt!
Thank you! You and your dad have great taste!
I usually dont like muscle cars but this thing is so dope to me.
I'm so glad to see you driving these classics. Great stuff, man. Thank you!
Thanks for watching them Michael!
I had a 69 Hemi Charger which had quick ratio manual steering. Acted like power steering or maybe because I was 21 and didn't notice. I do like your reviews
I love his reviews
many decades ago - my neighbor had a BASIC challenger - chocolate brown paint - straight six engine - NO options ....i wish i had that car right now !!!
4:21 the clock is moving anticlockwise !!!! :D :D :D
Thanks for the video and with all due respect. You may not have been too comfortable if you'd had to drive any of those old cars that didn't have much as far as creature comfort...just basing this on your reaction to the seats and the the looks you gave. No hats intended. Just brutal honesty. Take care and God Bless All!!!
I also love the color white on the 1970 Challenger😎
question is what condition is a new challenger going to be in when its a 50yo.
They are both so different, but distinctively the same and is why the gen3s outsell Camaro right now to. Not only that, the red eye is packing almost 800 hp and is King of the blacktop as far as production cars. My 4th Mopar was a 70, and love the classics as well. But for an entirely different reason, as the OGs are more raw and in your face. Whereas the late model cars are comfortable high HP machines that you can take to the drag strip on Friday night, and then on a trip cross country. Yeah the 09-14 front grill and tail light assemblies were designed after the 70, and then the 71 from that point on. Same thing with the interior, and was redesigned for the 2015 model year as well.
I own a 2010 SRT8 and is a blast to drive, especially with the line lock and other goodies that I've added 😃
