one of 3 '70 R/T's made with a 6 pack and a 727, and it was purchased by Ontario Motor Speedway to be its pace car

'70 Dodge Challenger R/T convertibles are rare enough as it is. They made up less than two percent of the total production that year. Rarer still are R/T Six Packs. Ninety-nine R/T Six Packs came out of the Hamtramck, Michigan, plant, and only 38 had automatics. Of those 38, three are known to have had automatic on the column.

This is one. http://www.highdefforum.com/1190753-post2076.html

Originally built as an SS/RS convertible with the 396-cu.in. Mark IV big-block V-8 engine, the Camaro went directly to the GM Styling studios to be customized under the direction of GM design boss Bill Mitchell to help generate publicity for the then-new Camaro.

Alterations included split bumpers front and rear, a seamless ducktail-style rear spoiler, a hood tach, driving lamps and a special domed hood fitted with a clear Lexan top that displayed the big-block engine, which had been swapped to the hotter L78 375hp version of the 396, fitted with a quartet of Weber down-draft carburetors mounted to a Moon intake. Turbine-style wheels styled after those used on the Corvette were also fitted. The restyled body was then treated to a custom candy-apple red over gold metalflake paint finish and dubbed the Cherokee.
