**1970 Dodge Charger STUDENT build!!! matching numbers! (teacher posting)**

[SpartanGarage]

Hello B Body people! Last year was a great success! Now we are starting the 2026 Classic car build! Take a look at our 1970 Dodge Charger that I was told came out of Oneida New York. We purchased it out of Utica area. Previous owner was in Durhamville New York.

Anywho. Since finding this car am I wrong to push students towards keeping the numbers matching aspect? Does it mean much to anyone that would want this car? Just wanted to ask. I'll post a few progress photos soon. Should be getting vehicle back from paint/body but it will be in primer.

Engine 318.
Transmission A904

What a great project. Original is never a bad thing but modified and clone cars bring good money when resold. Your choice.

This gets raffled off in July 2026!

That looks like an XH Charger, the base model. The 318 is a great engine but numbers matching matters a lot more with the larger engines like the 383-440.
Good luck with the project.

Keep up with pics&story on the project. A little edumacation never hurt anyone.

An auto tech shop with a 70 Charger and two Novas, COOL!!!!

Nothing wrong with matching numbers, but a nice stroker kit put in the original block would add additional interest.

I would say stick a 440 in it. Either a 727 ( easy) or convert to 4 speed (more work). Add a sure grip 8 3/4. Don't add R/T. Badges. And it will sell for good money to some one who wants a 70 charger to drive around and have fun with.
