Default I found a 1970 Dodge Challenger in a local junk yard, how rare is it?

About five minutes from my house is an old welding business. Scattered around the owners property are a number of classice muscle cars. They've all been sitting for well as long as I can remember.

A friend of mine and I looked around the property at these old muscle cars. Over half are GM Camaro's, Vettes, GTO's, Monte Carlos. A few are Ford's but one caught my eye. A yellow 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T. It appears to be the only Mopar on this guys property. Of course there is a fenced in area were quite a few muscle cars are stored, can't see them all so there may be other Mopars.

The car looks in pretty good shape, of course I didn't give it a good look over. The property is littered with NO TRESPASSING signs, the guy who owns these cars is hardly if ever seen, and he's had all these muscle cars for at least 30 years....and never sells them?

I'm not to familar with Dodge Challengers. So I was wondering if anyone here had any idea how rare this Challenger is?

I see no Hemi badge so it's safe to assume it's a 383 or 440, (of course it's been sitting awhile, so if it did have a hemi badge it may have fallen off) The car is an all yellow hardtop with a black stripe down the side and a black "Go Wing" on the back. It is my understanding if it's got the wing on the back it's an R/T

Here is a similar looking car (minus the wing)
