I once owned this car. 69 1/2 Red with a black fiberglass hood. The 440 six pac was an awesome engine. I replaced two clutches while I owned it. I'm still kicking myself for selling it back in 81.
Green is my all time favorite color in all Musclecars! And also, as a GM guy...I will say this...This car featured should be in the encyclopedia when looking up the word "Musclecar". This car is cool to even the most diehard GM guys!
I'm a Mopar guy but I wouldn't kick any of the high performance GM or Ford cars from those days out of my garage either. I especially liked Pontiac's when it came to GM. Its a shame how Pontiac stopped building their own V8's after the 81 model year although really the last good Pontiac V8 was the W72 400. The 1980-81 301 Turbo's were junk. They stopped building the W72 after the 78 model year but luckily had a bunch leftover to put in the 79 10th anniversary Trans Am's
I'm a Ford guy but even I know that when it came to muscle cars, Mopar is King!!! The 69 A12 Roadrunner and Super Bee is probably my favorite of all muscle cars. My favorite 426 hemi cars are the early sleeper 66-67 Plymouth Belvedere/Satellite and Dodge Coronet. Just that little "426 Hemi" fender badge to let you know this is definitely not grandma's car LoL
What a sweet ride, Kevin. In late '69 I actually had the money from working multiple jobs and went looking for one of these.....needless to say, they were all sold out. By spring of '70 my savings had dwindled and I was no longer able to look for an A12 option and didn't know if they would carry them into the new year. Ended up buying a base 383 Roadrunner with a few fancies. I loved the 383 but almost got a tear in my eye seeing this video. Ah....what could have been. Great show. Keep the Faith, Tom
Had a ride in a brand new off the truck Super Bee in '69 same color but with white interior and automatic. Salesman had it sideways coming around a corner! I was 12 yrs. old at the time and fell in love with this car. has been a dream car of mine ever since.
Ya dude I was asking my old man if he remembers these cars and he was like "O-ya" and also said they were just drivers... Almost like utility vehicles, people would haul pavers, lumber in them, put a hitch on them and tow a boat,etc a friend of his had a 70 Hemi Cuda when they were just young men 😲
Shawn, I was a junior in high school in 1975. I bought a 1969 Dodge Charger 383 magnum, 4 speed for $1,200. I sold it a year and a half later in the summer of 1976 for $1,000. If we had only known.
My dad had one. Headers, big cam, decal delete, black on black car. It smacked down Hemis all day. The only thing that ever beat him was a Buick Stage one. Crazy!
I had a 70 six pack Cuda with those items on the motor as you described also had a Mallory dual point mechanical distributor, shaker, 4 spd, and Dana 3:54 gears it would get up go for dam sure fastest mopar I've owned.
'69 1/2 440 6bbls/Six Packs came with forged pistons. Ergo, they'll smoke when first started and running. Once the pistons expand some then the rings seat better and the engine stops smoking. Same deal w/ 426 Hemi's. Because forged pistons are denser than cast pistons, they expand more ~ so initial start up tolerances have to be 'looser'. I've dealt with the issue in any of the old school engines running forged pistons, especially back in the day...
I build a 460 Ford with 10.5:1 forged pistons and spent a lot of time making the clearances correct. I did detect a slight piston "slap" on very cold start-ups but it went away almost immediately with any warmth at all. With the high bump cam I had in it, it was hard to separate the sounds. I had a high pressure Melling pump and I may have been hearing lifters but sort of doubt it. Concerning the engine smoking.....I broke it in very hard because you just couldn't baby this engine and expect to seat the rings....no smoke but it always used a quart between fills. I blame the high pressure pump as I have had engine building experts relate that they will go with high volume but not high pressure pumps. Dunno....would like to hear thoughts on it.......
As always, I learned something new and was entertained at the same time. I’ll take a base model Belvedere 4-door with bench seats, a four on the floor, and a 440 six-pack, please.
I always liked Plain Jane looking sleeper cars like the 66 Plymouth Belvedere/Dodge Coronet. Jay Leno has a sweet dark green 66 Hemi Coronet. The only options the car has are the 426 Hemi, the 727 Torqueflite Auto Trans, and bucket seats. But other than that it's as bare bones as they come. In 67 in order to get the Hemi you had to order either the new Belvedere GTX or Coronet R/T...which both came with the 440-4 barrel as the base engine with the 426 Hemi the only engine option. I think 66 was the last year that you could still get Mopar's highest performance engines in a base model car. In 67 I think the best you could get in a base Belvedere/Coronet was the 383. But In 67 I believe you could get any engine in a fastback Dodge Charger from the Slant Six right up to the 426 Hemi
my guess on the mosquito fogger deal? valve stem seals. hopefully the rings are gapped right & also said gaps are spaced apart..not stacked up. oil in the combustion chamber is anathema to making HP..but oh well, the exaust will never rot!
Lucky to say I've owned the A12 Bee and the Roadrunner. Both A12's. Bee was sold. Roadrunner? Is R4 Red/Orange, 727 auto, console Black M6X interior (Buckets). 100% original Sheet metal, TX car. Dunno if I'd sell the R.R. Its one of 375 auto/hardtops-
I am kinda wondering @1:59 when he is booting it across the parking lot I am seeing a lot of smoke from the exhaust is it because it has been sitting or is there a general problem?
@ 4:12 of this video you can see the mileage of this vehicle 58,270 miles on the odometer I kinda think it may have been sitting for a while causing the engine to sump so when it starts may be the problem if that engine was rebuilt that no way fot it to treated
Mrmoparrr Nice catch. You are absolutely right If it sat for a long while those thing would take a bit to caugh and puke a.bit and then clear their throats. It takes VERY LITTLE TO GET A 6 BBL RUNNER INTO THE MID 11s. Tires, good fuel and one little trick to the 6 bbl. Click off 11.4s all day long.
People say well hellcats can do that and the red eye widebody 10.8s. Yep... They are wicked mopars but lets remember the 6bbls . Hemis etc are from 50 years ago!!!!! 50 years, all this technology and your just now getting getting cars to pull what those cars did a.half century ago. By the way. Not sure how many would do this now unless they take the stock 6bbl off and put an aftermarket on because of the value but 2 finely drilled holes would help the carbs open at an amazing clip! My grandfather Henry ( Hank) Schmidt came up with the idea. He was a big shot with industrial filter and pump in The Chicago area Had a ton of patents and........... MOPARS.

THANKS GRAMPS...... THANKS MA MOPAR. THANKS INDUSTRIAL FILTER AND PUMP. THANKS CHICAGO AND A BIG THANKS TO CHARGERS, ROAD RUNNERS AND THE ONLY SMALL BLOCK IVE OWNED ( WICKED) 340 DUSTER. MAN WHAT A SCREAMIN CAR THAT IS.
IT NEEDS 4 2-barrel carbs! An 8-pack, not a 6-pack! A 2-barrel carb for every 2 cylinders.. Makes sense to me.. I'd love to see one modified with an INDEPENDENT rear suspension!
There was a movie with the opening scene showing a Road Runner on the Hubcap acting like it was not turning. Anyone, have a clue to what movie this was?
Does anyone know what the 6-BBL stands for? To clarify I know already that it signifies the 6-barrel 440, but what does BBL stand for? It's not barrel or it would be BRL. Is it '6 Big Barrels'? Barbell? :)
+Chris Schroyer ,oh yah it sure Did i went into Shock & Couldn't believe my or the Car's Air Cleaner Was Completly Gone Missing Auction house Couldn't give a Shit either. they Should have been Held Liable for Peoples Stolen Property.
The cylinder head design mostly. The Hemi was originally designed for NASCAR so it's a high RPM screamer. The 440 would often get the jump on the Hemi off the line but the Hemi would pass it usually at higher speeds. That also depended on rear end ratio's too. The 440 was definitely a better everyday street engine than the Hemi. But the 1970-71 Hemi's were actually a bit milder than the 1966-69 version because Chrysler had to switch to a hydraulic camshaft in 1970 for emissions reasons. So the 1970-71 Hemi's did have somewhat better street manners than the earlier ones did but they were still pretty high strung
@@jeffreyrubish347 I highly doubt it. Too many electronic/computer gadgets in them nowadays and computers only last so long. Mechanical parts are more dependable and last much longer. The cars of today aren't gonna be around anymore in 50-60 years.. They'll be gone long before then
see they will even get a car WITHOUT the Chyrsler corp. Plant Fender Tag ? @ 2:38minutes this one's been Scabbed off. not a OEM car, value just Dropped Tremendously. a Simple Clone/Cheap Copy.
Good observation. Truth is that because some of the cars (Mopars) have removable trim tags, the tags are often stored in a safe or away from the car during transport to protect them. Of course, the VIN stays with the car, and is easily verifiable as a legit car. This one is the real deal, with the tag having been in the safe when we shot the car. However, un-scrupulous sellers have tried to dupe the Collection with cars having fake tags and altered VINS. It's a real problem that takes an expert eye to prevent.
+MuscleCarOfTheWeek Wow there even trying to Alter a Serial number or vin nuts to go that far. chop shops at your service is still alive. Good video's your part of too.
Rarecat actually some owners remove the tags and store them because theft at car shows had actually become an issue. Don't know if that's the case here.

So true.
It`s Mopar or no car
There will never be car like this again.

almost to 10k. and the roadrunner is one of my personal favorites. 1971 is my favorite model year
I love all classic muscle cars from all makers, but the greatest of them all to me is the a12 roadrunner...
I had a 69 GTX 440 4 speed 4/10 Dana air grabber hood super stock b5 blue l bought for $550. When I was 17 smoked the tires every day
Mark Holmgren Mine was 68 GTX 440 4speed 4/10 Dana bought for 500.00 in 1984
Wow 550 cool, I had one as well mine was T5 bronze , the 440 was missing, had a 383, but still did ok, traded a 64 Ford pickup for it.
Man what a beauty. My dad had a 69 383 4 speed when I was a kid. Even then I was pissed he sold that car

I can remember a buddy loseing control of this monster and smashing the quarter rear panel.

finally another mopar can you do the 1970 roadrunner. and 1969 dodge charger.
Smoke? Damn it man.......
That's why you need 6 quarts oïl pan...
It really doesn't get any better. I have a few mopars, I've spent most my life restoring. however, I dream about a metallic green A12 bee nightly.
Raw beauty
Mopar rocked the 60s!
So many bubble top cars on the internet wow
stunning.
My Brother had one of these with L60s on the rear and traction bars it was gun metal grey with flat black hood same interior and 4 speed

I am kinda wondering @1:59 when he is booting it across the parking lot I am seeing a lot of smoke from the exhaust is it because it has been sitting or is there a general problem?

look at the brother's 66 satellite 426 in rose color it gives off a rusty color exhaust when hammered giving those big valves a cleaning
probably dried out valve stem seals.
Sweet
Nice.
That is the one!

In general, what made the Hemi engine so special and how does it compare to the 440?
Look it up
I'd rather have a 440
The cylinder head design mostly. The Hemi was originally designed for NASCAR so it's a high RPM screamer. The 440 would often get the jump on the Hemi off the line but the Hemi would pass it usually at higher speeds. That also depended on rear end ratio's too.
