Overview

This 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 440 Six Pack, finished in striking Sublime Green “high-impact” color, represents one of the most coveted configurations of the era. Powered by the 440 cubic-inch V8 with triple Holley two-barrel carburetors and paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, the Challenger R/T 6-Pack delivered a factory rating of 390 horsepower and 490 lb-ft of torque. Dodge built just 2,656 Six Pack Challengers in 1970, and Sublime Green examples with a manual gearbox remain especially desirable.

According to the long-term previous owner, who kept the car for nearly two decades, the Challenger underwent a comprehensive restoration, during which most of its original components—including block, transmission, distributor, rear end, and radiator—were retained. Where parts were missing, correct date-coded replacements were reportedly sourced. The engine is said to have been rebuilt with hardened valve seats and a slightly upgraded cam, while NOS quarter panels and a correct Sublime Green acrylic enamel finish were applied. The seller emphasizes that these restoration details are based on prior ownership accounts, as no written records exist.

Today, the car presents strongly, with its iconic drivetrain, correct Six Pack carburetors, black vinyl interior with bucket seats, and center console with Hurst “Pistol Grip” shifter. A recent tune-up has been performed under current ownership, and aside from a minor professional paint correction on the hood edge, no other issues have been reported. With only around 100 miles added by the current seller and no known outstanding needs, this Challenger R/T 440 Six Pack offers collectors a rare opportunity to acquire a highly correct, Sublime Green, 4-speed example of one of Dodge’s most iconic muscle cars.
