@@charliechristie2949 Wow! Really wild, no doubt about that. It was definitely the greatest time not only for the muscle cars but for the American automotive industries as well.
I had a 1969 RRunner ,Torqueflite, 4.10 Dana. Bought it new. Hit the gas and it BOILED the tires and went nowhere. At the track I even rolled it out off the line and as soon as I stood on it, smoke and no go. Put 7" M & H Slicks on it. Nothing else. Power braked it and stood on the gas at the green. Left it in "D". 12.87 @ 111.00. Through the factory mufflers. You cannot drag race a Hemi on street tires.......Even the "docile" street Hemi.
1972-1979......Yellow with black vinyl top. Posts. My first car. A lot of car for a 16 year old. Roadrunner. Sold it in mint condition for $900 in 1979. Paid $900 in 1972. Tires, batteries, belts....that was it. Texas
Back around 1985 my boss at the time bought a mint condition 1970 Plum Crazy Hemi ‘Cuda. His friends mocked him for paying an enormous amount for it. $10,000.
I wish I had my car from 1977 bought it from a friend who was in Vietnam was a 69 dodge coronet 500 with a 426 hemi for speed. Headers was special order from the factory,I liked it better than the Dodge charger because the rear had three lights going across and the color combination was so cool flat black rocker panels and flat black around the rear lights with chrome around that and the teal paint so fast meet my friends, 71 formula 400 Pontiac not off the line but we raced for 45 miles at about mile 10 miles on a new stretch of highway.

A.I., you made several mistakes- one is that a Super Bee is NOT a Road Runner as you stated in one part. Loved the cars, hate the artificial "intellegence".
I had a '69-GTX w/ 440, 4-sp, 4.10 super drag-pack Dana 60, and Doug Thorley headers. I owned it in 1970. Fastest car in my H/S, as well as the neighboring H/S. Man! I wish I still had that car! Later, I had a '65-Vette Coupe, 327/350 L-79 engine, 4-sp, 3.73 posi rear, and factory AC. Gorgeous car, but nothing like that GTX as far as pure muscle.
I owned a 68 roadrunner with a hemi that had 2 / 4s on it, and had 23,000 mi. on it when I bought it. I paid 2150 for it! I was 19 yrs. old!! I'm 73 now! Boy, talk about living large!
I don’t know where these guys got there info but these cars when tuned could rum much faster than what is stated here. I ran a 1967 ford fairlane GTA that ran consistent mid 13 second near 105 mph quarters with a hi po 390. It was competitive with many 440 mopars. The hemi cars were tire burners to say the least
@@fartdonkey8290 The old hemi’s 426s were very sensitive to how they were tuned, and what I meant by that was timing, point settings and carb jetting. When set up correctly they were untouchable.
@@cutlets2118 it had cobra-jet heads and i changed the advance curve in the distributer that made a big difference in acceleration I also added an electric fuel pump at the gas tank because the forbore carb would run out of gas in second gear. The car was special ordered from Ford for the dealership I bought it as a left over after the 68s came out. It had 16 miles on it when I bought it. It had 3.25 gears and I shifted At 6000 rpm. Other than that I don’t really know it was just faster than most. My cousin had a 69 cobra-jet mustang with a 428 CJ in it and he could only beat me a car length at most and that was in high gear right before the quarter line. I street raced it and strip raced it for 9 years and only got beat a few times in 9 years
@@cutlets2118 it also had a special cam from ford so it really wasn’t the average production 390. There wasn’t a 383 Plymouth that could even come close to it and many 440s had a problem keeping up I sold it to my brother an he sold it to a kid that wrecked it several times the last time I saw it was in 1980 stacked in a junk yard to be crushed.
graduating from Nebraska ROTC in '69, went downtown to replace my MGB and intended to buy a 340 Dart. Saw a 69 Charger, realized it wasn't much more expensive, so ordered a base green, white stripe, no radio, just the 727 Torqueflite transmission, with the 440 engine. Hemi was a $770 option. Drove it about 35 K miles, mostly in speed unlimited Germany for a year. Put "mag" wheels on it, and it would not make one full stop from 100 mph even with the 3 inch Imperial drums. I never went over about 105 or so, was just too scared to do more. When the salesman asked if I wanted the Hemi, I asked if they shipped the extra engine to me in a box, or how did I get the 440 motor. I thought i got two motors for my $770. Salesman asked if i had ever bought a new car before, because I didn't get both motors. Put an Offy intake on it, the cast iron was almost too heavy to lift off the engine. Made up my own gaskets, taping shoe box cardboard together with masking take, and it was running well when I sold it to a solder who promptly went off the Autobahn in Germany. Fond memories..... . NAM VET
The problem with ranking them like this is it's based on one or two road tests of each vehicle from back in the day. Entertaining but way to many variables to really take this seriously. Cars were not setup the same, various track conditions existed, state of tune varied from one car to another, and even the magazine's own test drivers ability makes this this comparision kinda pointless. Some of these cars were flogged pretty hard before whichever enthusiast magazine of the day even got a hold of them and laid down some numbers. All I'm saying is don't take these old et's for gospel.
Many of these cars knowing a magazine was going to test them, had factory "go overs" where they altered the car that you could not get off the show room. A friend of mine had a 383 68 Road Runner. It was much faster than any Road runner encountered with my 68 Mustang Cobra Jet. I beat him by half a car where others I raced were like 3 to 5 car lengths away at the end of the quarter. When we took off the air cleaner, underneath it was scrawled in magic marker, "you're welcome" with a guys signature. Who knew what they did to this car at the factory but it was definitely not your average 383.
My outright favorite Hemi powered Mopar back in the 60s and 70s would be the Dodge Daytona Charger, with its big assed wing, followed immediately by the Plymouth Superbird with its also huge rear wing. For a slightly more demure look I am split between the Hemi Challenger and the Hemi 'Cuda almost equally. As for the Road Runners and GTX vehicles with Hemo engines, gosh, I guess you could convince me to get into one also. There is not a bad or undesireable car in the bunch - and not jus tbecause of the Hemi engine.. The 440 6 pack engines were also very powerful, as is the 440 4v engines. The 383 engines were adequate when it came to performance, but are smoked by their larger 426 and 440 engine equipped cars. Still, I would be fine with a 383 powered Mopar, they are not exactly slouches and can be built into some really powerful engines.

Have no preference but always loved the sound of a Hemi at a hi rev. They had a unique sound, even in my truck with a single exhaust still has the sound of the old Hemi muscle cars.But if I had to chose 1970 GTX because I remember a few in my area as as a kid.
I worked at a dodge dealership. bill brown in a 1969 six pack with cam upgrade & headers. Tony g had a 1969 boss 429 mustang. facing off. the mustang walked away from the coronet like it was standing still.
The crazy part was those times were on stock trash wheels, tires, and fuel. A modern demon 170 on those wheels, tires and fuel would be lucky to run a 12.
Out of the ones you showed , the 1970 Cuda , out of any Chrysler … 1964 Dodge Polara … Polara was light and could make the tires Scream Mercy please !!
426 horsepower was listed at 425 but that was the old fake gross number...the REAL SAE NET was only 350 horsepower, 35 less than the 2024 5.7 in the RAM truck at 385 NET horsepower.
Maybe the 69 zl1 but they were extremely expensive and rare with around 70 produced. As far as a cross ram intake for the z28 i always thought it was a " trunk option" not necessarily a factory installed peace
we watched it happen in the day DZ 302 no pull have track it was over remember its a 302 very small ...yes fast put no top end for breakfast remember stock
ive got a pretty bare bones stock hemi belvedere 2 that should have definitely been ahead of a few of these ! its basically a lighter version of the satellite rides like a caddillac probably better 13.6 109 mph stock
The Hemi had and always has had a Reputation, but in Factory Stock form the 440 could beat it in a Quarter Mile... Racers liked the Hemi because they could do more with it....
Mine is always been the 426 hemi cuda it was without challenge the fastest car in the world I drove one and it had a top speed of 169 mph Deadwood is scared the s*** out of any Corvette of that era holla if you hear me
Challenger RT 14.1in 12 place, I disagree. The quickest published 1/4 mile time for a stock 1970 Challenger R/T SE with a 426 Hemi, 4-speed, and 4.10:1 gears was 13.10 sec. at 107.12 mph
Hemi Darts were fast because virtually all were set up from birth to go drag racing. Light and with an ability to rev quickly and get into the HEMI engine's power band quickly the Dart had potential to be a wicked fast car when set to go drag racing. The bigger cars not-so-much. Most ran harder with 440 and it's bigger, flatter torque curve in the low mid range. This shouldn't be surprising at all. The 426 Hemi was optimized for NASCAR racing. Richard Petty never cared if his race car made good power under 4,000RPM. He never saw that range anywhere on the track. Entrance and exit from the pits he'd see it for but a few seconds. ON the street though......you better care. In a street race I'd never bet on the Mid to Full sized Hemi car to beat a similar sized 440 car.
we had a 1971 426 superbee a.t. on the column. taxicab interior. on the showroom floor. I was 14 & had the opportunity to take it on a joy ride. from the showroom to the wash rack & back when it was sold. to me it was just another car. nothing special.

The crazy part was those times were on stock trash wheels, tires, and fuel. A modern demon 170 on those wheels, tires and fuel would be lucky to run a 12.
Out of the ones you showed , the 1970 Cuda , out of any Chrysler … 1964 Dodge Polara … Polara was light and could make the tires Scream Mercy please !!
Shame none were 5 speed manual with a longer diff and gearbox ratio
1970 426 dual quad Hemi Super Bird
mine was a copper '66 belvedere 2... 2 dr post factory 426 A/T
426 horsepower was listed at 425 but that was the old fake gross number...the REAL SAE NET was only 350 horsepower, 35 less than the 2024 5.7 in the RAM truck at 385 NET horsepower.
the old days not today
@@rebeccajohnson1407 Today fake numbers just like then
"technology from last century isn't as good as technology today"
Thanks
@@fartdonkey8290 You seem to have a problem with understanding the subject matter......the old horsepower ratings were FAKE..get it? Guess not.
@@fartdonkey8290 has nothing to do with my point..the 425 hp rating of the Hemi is BS..it is 350 net horsepower.
I outrun a GTX with my 70 Chevelle from a rolling 60 mph. But not by much. remember it like yesterday.
What about the Hemi Superstock Darts?
71 Hemi cuda
70’ 426ci Hemicuda 👍
Err,what about the 68 dart?
The 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda 440 super commando was 11 second, 1/4 mile @130 nph!!
Not stock it wasn't.
69 Z/28 cross ram had these for breakfast
Maybe the 69 zl1 but they were extremely expensive and rare with around 70 produced. As far as a cross ram intake for the z28 i always thought it was a " trunk option" not necessarily a factory installed peace
Yea,right?
we watched it happen in the day DZ 302 no pull have track it was over remember its a 302 very small ...yes fast put no top end for breakfast remember stock
Tooo heavy . Killed it for top performance vs . The lighter cars - Fun tho
I'm not sure how heavy you think they are but probably lighter than a Chevelle or GTO
ive got a pretty bare bones stock hemi belvedere 2 that should have definitely been ahead of a few of these ! its basically a lighter version of the satellite rides like a caddillac probably better 13.6 109 mph stock
A LOT of wrong information in this video.
Yes, and in the comment section too 🤣
The 426 Hemi was actually closer to 500 HP.
no it wasn't. net horsepower was only 350.
The Hemi had and always has had a Reputation, but in Factory Stock form the 440 could beat it in a Quarter Mile...
Racers liked the Hemi because they could do more with it....
A Desoto motor, heat soak was a problem then and still is
I had a 69 gtx with 500hp 10.2 142miles per hour quarter mile.
sure you did kid...
1970 Plymouth Superbird.
Mine is always been the 426 hemi cuda it was without challenge the fastest car in the world I drove one and it had a top speed of 169 mph Deadwood is scared the s*** out of any Corvette of that era holla if you hear me
sure it did Gomer--downhill
Did anyone else think that was low production numbers
Challenger RT 14.1in 12 place, I disagree.
The quickest published 1/4 mile time for a stock 1970 Challenger R/T SE with a 426 Hemi, 4-speed, and 4.10:1 gears was 13.10 sec. at 107.12 mph
They lied.....no 426 ever did more than 13.6 stock
Super Bee,2-4's
69 HEMI 4 speed o my yellow with black interior what is that money in the bank
1968 dart gt hemi
Hemi Darts were fast because virtually all were set up from birth to go drag racing. Light and with an ability to rev quickly and get into the HEMI engine's power band quickly the Dart had potential to be a wicked fast car when set to go drag racing. The bigger cars not-so-much. Most ran harder with 440 and it's bigger, flatter torque curve in the low mid range. This shouldn't be surprising at all. The 426 Hemi was optimized for NASCAR racing. Richard Petty never cared if his race car made good power under 4,000RPM. He never saw that range anywhere on the track. Entrance and exit from the pits he'd see it for but a few seconds. ON the street though......you better care. In a street race I'd never bet on the Mid to Full sized Hemi car to beat a similar sized 440 car.
👍🏁🤠🇮🇹
Funny, the fastest Mopar was a 440 Six Pack Road Runner 12.9
What about 67 hemi dart
My family SUV with 670 hp can take them all! Tesla model X!
@adcoxrobert3786🤣🤣🤣
For you nuckle heads out there,
There is not many E74 or 73 option cars where made in existence!
😔
At least they can spell correctly
Awesome video. 👍Please check out my 1968 Barracuda fastback powered by a rowdy 512 stroker backed by an A833 4 speed manual. I think you'll approve. 👌
Sounds slow
@@fartdonkey8290 You sure do. 🤣👌
we had a 1971 426 superbee a.t. on the column. taxicab interior. on the showroom floor. I was 14 & had the opportunity to take it on a joy ride. from the showroom to the wash rack & back when it was sold. to me it was just another car. nothing special.
