The 340 Six Pack, the fiberglass scooped hood, the side-exit exhaust, and the duck-tail spoiler are all present and correct. It comes with strong documentation, but the paperwork it is actually sold on, and the automatic transmission, are the details that shape its value.1970 Dodge Challenger T/A 340 Six PackBring a TrailerWhat it's worth right nowClassic.com lists a Market Benchmark of $106,347 for the 1970 Challenger T/A 340 Six Pack, but that figure is pulled up by four-speed cars and the best restored examples. The real transaction picture for driver-grade cars is lower: recent reporting notes several T/As changing hands in the $75,000 to $85,000 range, and a strongly presented numbers-matching example carried a $119,550 ask that sat unsold for months, which tells you the top of the market is aspirational right now.AdvertisementAdvertisementTwo factors push this particular car below the benchmark. It is a TorqueFlite automatic rather than the more sought-after pistol-grip four-speed, and it is being sold on an expired Rhode Island registration rather than a clean title. The rare Beige color and the documentation help, but transmission and paperwork tend to matter more to the market than color rarity on these.1970 Dodge Challenger T/A 340 Six PackBring a TrailerWeighing all of that, I would call fair value roughly $60,000 to $80,000. The current $53,340 bid with nine bids and four days to go is in the right neighborhood and still climbing, and where it settles will depend heavily on how bidders weigh the automatic and the titling situation against the car's rarity and history.Condition and detailsThe provenance is a real strength. The fender tag decodes correctly to an A53 Trans Am package car with the E55 340 Six Pack and the D32 TorqueFlite automatic, the seller located the broadcast sheet during the auction, and the car comes with 1998 Trans Am Registry paperwork from Galen Govier indicating it is one of seven Challenger T/As known in this Beige color. That is exactly the documentation trail you want on a homologation special, and it supports the car being a genuine, correctly optioned T/A.1970 Dodge Challenger T/A 340 Six PackBring a TrailerThe condition notes are mostly reassuring but require diligence. The car was repainted in its original Beige in the mid-2000s, so it is not a color change, and the seller states it has been stored in a climate-controlled garage since 2014, started monthly, moved in the lot, and had its oil changed twice a year. A bidder's question about the trunk floor was answered with photos showing a clean, rust-free pan. Even so, a car that has not been road-registered since 2014 needs a full recommissioning before real use, so plan for brakes, fuel system, tires, and fluids.1970 Dodge Challenger T/A 340 Six PackBring a TrailerTwo items deserve a buyer's direct attention. The odometer is a five-digit unit showing 65,000 miles, which cannot be assumed to be actual on a car of this age, so treat the mileage as shown rather than verified. More importantly, the car is being sold on its Rhode Island registration, which served as the ownership document there but which most recently expired in May 2014, so confirm exactly how you will title and register it in your state before you bid.The offerSpecificationDetailMakeDodgeModelChallenger T/AYear1970Mileage65,000 shownEngine340ci V8 with Six Pack triple two-barrel carburetionPower290 horsepower, 345 lb-ftTransmissionThree-speed TorqueFlite automaticDrive typeRear-wheel driveExterior colorBeige with black accentsInterior colorTanCurrent bidUSD $53,340Interested in this car? View the listing here.What makes the Challenger T/A uniqueThe Challenger T/A exists because of racing. To compete in the SCCA's Trans-Am series, Dodge had to build a street version of its race car, and the result was roughly 2,400 homologation specials sharing the stage with Plymouth's AAR 'Cuda. The recipe was purposeful: a 340 topped with a trio of two-barrel carburetors on an aluminum intake, a fiberglass fresh-air hood with a big scoop, side-exit exhaust, a duck-tail spoiler, Rallye suspension with front and rear sway bars, and staggered tire sizes. It was a genuine piece of Trans-Am history sold to the public for a single model year.1970 Dodge Challenger T/A 340 Six PackBring a TrailerAdvertisementAdvertisementThat one-year-only status and the direct racing connection are what make the T/A special among E-body Mopars. Values track condition, documentation, and above all transmission, with the pistol-grip four-speed cars commanding a premium over the automatics. This car's appeal rests on its rarity, its unusual documented color, and its correct, well-supported specification, which is a strong hand even if the automatic keeps it out of the very top tier that four-speed cars occupy.My takeThis is a real, well-documented Trans-Am homologation car in a color you almost never see, and the paperwork trail is exactly what you want on one of these. My fair-value call is $60,000 to $80,000. I would anchor toward the middle of that, adjusting for the automatic transmission and the recommissioning a long-parked car will need, and I would treat the Classic.com benchmark as the ceiling that four-speed and concours cars reach rather than the target for this one.The buying advice comes down to paperwork and preparation. Confirm the titling path from the expired Rhode Island registration before you send money, treat the 65,000-mile figure as shown rather than verified, and budget for a full mechanical recommissioning after years of storage. Handle those, and the current $53,340 bid is a fair starting point on a documented, correctly optioned T/A.Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only. We are not a dealership or broker.
