Bought a 1970 Charger !

[70Charger5150]

Hi All ,
Happy to join the Mopar family with my 1970 base 318 Charger  .
It has a 68 or 69 stock 440 swap in it .
Stamped D 440
Has a 71 440 stock intake manifold from what I can tell .
Ordering a Proform 850 carburetor for it .
It has an Edelbrock on it , neighbor wants to put a Holley on it but I am going with the street series Proform 67214.
I found it while on a road trip and on the way home stopped asked if it was potentially for sale .
Looking forward to the snow melting and putting some miles on it !
I'm new to Mopars so any input / advice / links for parts etc is appreciated .
Thank you
Jason

Welcome to the forum. Advice on where to buy parts can be given when you tell us what you need.

thanks guys, i'll have to resize them i guess , too big

[XH29N0G]

Welcome,  I look forward to seeing it and learning more about it.  Unless I am mistaken, the proform is based on the Holley with a few minor changes, but many interchangeable parts.  I have heard they run well.

Good for you and WELCOME 

Charger Pics can make our day, so get some up when you can !

Did you score it for a good price?
Finding a car out on a road trip by chance tends to be open to all possibilitys so now you have me wondering.

[70Charger5150]

I can't upload them , i guess they are too large , i'll try and re-size them .
It was a nice day out and I pulled into the driveway and said " You know I have to ask about the Charger , is it for sale ? "
He said probably in the spring , I asked what he was thinking of asking ....we chatted , I got the sellers contact info and left .
I got about 10 minutes down the road and said to myself , how am I driving away from a running 1970 440 Charger for only $$$$$ ?
So I turned around and left him a deposit and couldn't get a trailer until a few days later !
That was a LONG wait , as it was a busy road too ! I wanted to stuff it out back , lol !
I really stopped looking at muscle cars in general due to the prices .
It has rust in various corners , the shelter collapsed on it , but it will look and sound just fine going down the road this summer . Stoked to own it !
Yeah , I'd say it was a pretty good price seeing what non running , or no motor , shot interior base 318 chargers go for  
My Mom told my cousin about the car ( her and husband are doing a GTO over ) and she said " that's my favorite muscle car ! Ask him if it has a Hemi "
I got a good laugh out of that .
Thank you all for the replies

Welcome to the mopar Charger group 

What part of the world are you in ?

[Lennard]

That interior looks new.

[Fitz73Chrgr]

Looks pretty clean from the pics

[70Charger5150]

I'm in Connecticut.
Thanks guys ,  I'm trying to order some misc parts for it .
Passenger mirror
Antenna ( probably just find a delete kit )
Radio bezel but from one found the radio looks like 68 / 69 ?
Also an ash tray cover .
Is this the " rallye dash " ?
Is the " D " 440 stamped on the front of motor make it a 68 block ?
Thank you for the help
I'll post the bad tomorrow now that I figured it how to make little photos .
sorry the pic is flipped

[pipeliner]

Yeah D is a 68 block.

[TPR]

Looks good Mate.
Congrats.

70 Charger only had the thumb wheel radio if they had the AM/8 track version
If it is just straight AM or AM/FM it should be the round knobs to look original

[BDF]

Welcome '5150! You scored! 

[70Charger5150]

Thanks guys ! ( thank u for fixing pics  Vegas) When I see the car in the garage I'm still surprised I own one !
Today I drove an 1 1/2 for a nice used trunk for it and the V10 ate a serp belt ...5 miles from the destination ....got the belt , bad power steering pulley ...no go....NO TRUNK ! 
I Have to drive back down , I pay pal'd him the $ from the side of the road lol , oh well , stoked to have found a nice trunk for it
Just trying to collect parts for it , ash tray cover , correct radio , right mirror , antenna ....
Where are some of the preferred parts places ?
Also is the dual snorkel air cleaner the correct one for the 1970 ?

[VegasCharger]

.....( thank u for fixing pics  Vegas)

You're welcome.

If you get the correct radio are you going to keep the 8 track unit? Sell it?

I might be interested.

[Mopar Nut]

[70Charger5150]

Your picture of radio is not an 8 track
On an 8 track to have enough room there are no station selector buttons as that is where the 8 track part is mounted in the radio

70 Charger radio is just round nobs and not thumb wheel
BUT
If you had 8 track in a 70 Charger the factory just used the older style 69 radio with the thumb wheel and did not make a new knob 8 track radio

Great looking Charger!
