It came with a 70 Challenger RT I bought, car is pretty nice with original paint , I do not have tag or sheet yet for build date , block is cast 4/7/70 Last edited by artie717; 07/31/21 02:19 PM.

Did you pay big bucks because the claim was "numbers matching"?

Here is a picture of build sheet, fonts look correct to me , my plan is to just save block so if I sell it will go with it.
