500’s are nice and less common than R/T’s. Keep it a 500.

More 500s were built than R/Ts in 1970.

Welcome, Nice looking Charger.

True, but how many guys like me are out there with 500 on the VIN but R/T badges on the car?

70ChargeDodger, Do you have the 4th Rallye wheel, driver's side rear, that is missing in the photos?
Did you do your homework on the 1970 Charger?

Back in the day's/night's of 1978 I learned something. I had a 383 motor, solid motor mounts, a Winter's built A727, 3.91 rears, Super Stock springs and adjustable front shocks (40/60 or 50/50 or 60/40) and when the traffic light turned green and the race was over, going anywhere from 100' up to a 1/4 mile, sometimes there would be some doubt of the size of my motor, sometimes it would get physical. So I put 440 badges on her front fender sides. That stopped the doubting Thomas ****. Then sometime later in life I thought, screw em. I changed the 440 badges to 383's. I picked my fights...mostly.

Amen. 383 in my Runner back in the day. They are not to be underestimated. I beat more 440s than I lost to. Beat even more big block Chevs.

That is actually a 15 x 8" Rallye wheel painted black, will be repainted argent this year.
I've been driving a 66 Coronet daily for a few years now that I pulled from a barn and ya, I know a bit but still have lots to learn. The body and frame rails are super solid and the cosmetic stuff does not concern me, more of a Roadkill kind of guy. Got it running, stopping and driving and it's a 70 Charger, good enough for me.
