I had a 70 Challenger with a 440 six pack, but a lot of people had muscle cars. To tell the truth I never thought of it as a muscle car and I don't recall ever hearing that phrase used at least back then.
Don’t you wish you had kept it?
@@PistonTrends You got that right, but I went in the Army in 73 and things just happened. Life's funny that way. But it was a nice ride I'll tell ya that.
We didn't use the term 'muscle car' back then. They were just fun performance cars to drive. The term evolved later but don't know by whom.
They were called supercars back then
@@garybishop4030 No they were`nt. They were called gas hogs and rust buckets.
Talks about 426 Hemi, shows a 273 teeny tiny motor, lol
Thanks for the comment. We had limited stock footage. Stay tuned for more vids!
Yeah, I stopped watching at that point.
Those old Coronets are just class.
1967 Plymouth Belvedere 4d HEMI, automatic transmission. One of one. Still exists in Finland, ordered here new. I've seen the car.
Wow! Just wow! No mention of the two 1970 Hemi Coronet R/T convertibles produced. One for the US and one for Canada. Today only the Canadian R/T exists…in Las Vegas.
Thank you for the comment. Maybe we should make a video about it! 🤔 Stay tuned.
Thanks,. Yes, I wondered too.
@@PistonTrends Graveyard cars restored it, they have a whole series on it.
All of them! I had taken my drivers license test on my Dads 1969 Charger! Passed first go round! I wish I had that car now!
My dad had the same car, wish he had kept it!
The '71 Road Runner with a 440 ci v-8 is my favorite.
Had a 1977 Chrysler Cordoba in 1994, was willed to me when my uncle died, it had a 410BB with a 650CFM carb, the engine was bored out 10ci in the 80's by the original owner before my uncle bought it. Was lost in 95 due to a so called friend opening his mouth at the wrong time saying "watch out", guy hit the right rear tire going 40mph, snapped the trans in 1/2.
Sounds like a crazy story! I’m sure you wish you had it back.
@@PistonTrends With today's gas prices hell no, that thing would guzzle gas, and I only ran 93o through it!~
The 1968 L023 Hemi Dart was another rare mopar vehicle…there were only 80 made, so it wasn't as rare as the cars on this list.
There are so many more rare and amazing cars that we could have included!
The Mr Norm Street Ram featured on my Channel actually beats out lots of the cars on this list being that theres only 3 Documented.
The number two car carried 17" wheels or 15" wheels?
15" was the standard wheel size for these cars.
This list is missing the 1971 Hemi Cuda Convertible; I believe there were only 7 produced (only 2 with a 4 speed).
It's very difficult to narrow it down!
Is this an AI voice? Hamtramck kind of sounds wonky
Hey thanks for the comment. It's not, we were having some technical difficulties with the editing software cutting some words but I think we figured it out for future videos.
I live by Hamtramck and the locals pronounce it wonky.
1971 VH E37 6 Pack Chrysler Charger 134 units. 1972 R/T E49 6 Pack Chrysler Charger 145 units 1/4 mile in 14.1 seconds. E55 770 SE 340 Chrysler Charger 125 units 1/4 mile in 15.5 seconds
They made 2 six pack Chargers in '72, R/T nomenclature was discontinued
@@garybishop4030 OP is talking about Chrysler Australia's Charger, where the R/T was used in '72 for a racing homologation model as well as a slightly detuned model
There were more rare cars from Mopar running the 413 and 426 max wedge motors. Super rare
I remember seeing a plum crazy 1970 Dodge Charger Daytona in PHR magazine sometime back in the 80s. Super rare if it was the real thing.
It probably was!
I lived in suburban Detroit in the 70's & 80's and each subdivision of homes had a Mopar block, a Ford and a Chevy block. I remember the car wars that would go on between Mopars & Chevy's. I had a showroom mint Black 68 Camaro RS. If you drove down Gratiot at night, it would be bumper-to-bumper with muscle cars. These cars were daily drivers and you could buy them used from Auto-Trader magazine.
I remember flipping through pages of auto trader dreaming of which cars I’d buy.
Now days the only time you see that is at Woodward Dream Cruise, I'll be there again this year. (live right by it)
I had a ‘71 Satellite Sebring that was going to be my Petty Tribute…divorce is expensive because it was worth it.
At 12:38 I think the information on the Challenger's wheels are incorrect.. I believe it had 15 inch wheels instead of 17's
If I'm not mistaken (I own a 1970 Challenger) the standard wheels are 14x70.
15x60 were available on the rear, and I think were standard as part of the Hemi R/T package.
@@mikerew9132 Pretty sure you are correct Sir.. 70. Nice.. My brother-in-law owned a 70 340 Challenger.. The E-Body cars I always seem to be a day late and a dollar short on them when I could afford them. I don't know how many 318 challengers and barracudas I passed on in the mid-80s and I mean they were dirt cheap the six cylinder and the 318 you could buy for nothing in the 80s. I was like everybody else looking for the 340 to 383 possibly 440. But 426 hemis were astronomical even back then.. My very first car was a 1966 Plymouth Sports Fury and Mopars have eluded me ever since. LOL
@@georgehgordy1690
My first car was a 1968 Dodge Polara 500 convertible with a 383 4-barrel & 727 trans. I hated it because it looked like a boat, but it was plenty fast. Now I wish I had it back, there were less than 900 made...
I got the Challenger about 20 years ago for $5500. It was a Plain Jane 318 car, but now it rocks a 360 LA motor. It's been sitting in my garage for the last 5 years, needs new wiring among other things. Body is great, Hemi Orange with black vinyl top & black T/A hood. I really need to get to work on it.
@@mikerew9132you are correct but another fun fact is the 70 T/A challenger and the Plymouth AAR cuda are the first factory cars to come factory with 2 different size tires 15 rally or steel wheels with I think G60 rear and I can't remember the fronts
These special built Plymouths and Dodges were built with Race Hemis not Street Hemis . The Race Hemi put out well over 500horsepower.
Don’t you wish you had one today?
And the power was directed to the rear wheels VS applied to what ? The front wheels?
Always remember folks, The transmission, power is directed to the rear wheels if you didn't know.
Let me guess…..the power was directed to the rear wheels 🤣
You know it! Posi track baby!
@@PistonTrends Suregrip, Posi is a GM term.
72 road runner that came with 440 6 pack.1 of 1
wouldn't you love to have one of those in the garage?
About the convertibles. If you cut the top off of the car to make it a convertable, you lose the truss like rigidity of the body. Like having an aluminum can and cutting out 1/3 of it. It gets to be a twisty. I wouldn't want drive a convertible with a 426 Hemi in it. Who knows where it really wants to go when you've got it floored and the torque twists the body.
That makes sense. Maybe that's why the newer Hellcat chargers and challengers never came as a convertible option?
This would be a much better vid if the cars in the video matched the narration!!!
71 GTX. My all time favorite. Make her Kelly green with a white top, avocado interior, magnum 500 rims, 4 speed pistol grip, 3.91 (i think) axle ratio, and of course the magnificent 426 Chrysler Hemi V8 dual quad air grabber!
Very irritating claiming hemis when most motors shown were not . Only a couple had valve covers configured for hemi ignition
Appreciate the feedback. We’re always working on getting better and our goal is to produce the best content on TH-cam. Our stock footage was limited for specific Hemi engines but we will keep improving. Thanks again!
@PistonTrends thanks for the clarification. Ps I loved my 69 roadrunner I stuck a 440 with stage 3 heads in it. I regret selling it
My dad had a 1970 Charger that he regrets selling. I think he told me once he sold it for $2000. Back in the mid 70’s before he joining the Navy.
@@PistonTrends I traded mine for a watered set for my son approx 1500
Ps I feel your dad's pain
Me and my dad found and restored a 73 satellite that was a factory corporate blue (petty blue) with blue interior it was a factory 440 with 727 and AC car i think thats pretty rare
1969 Roadrunner. 440 six pack
440 six barrel in the Plymouth
It's Carter AFB not ABF carburetor
The absolute rarest MOPAR is the 1973 "Smog Hemi" meant to battle Pontiac's SD-455.
According to retired Chief Chrysler Engineer Larry Moss, it made 350 net hp and 400 net torque. It was going to be the baddest engine available.
However, the engineers couldn't keep up with the EPA changes and they scrubbed the motor altogether.
The modified 426 Hemi made it's way into two Plymouth GTXs and Two 'Cudas for street testing.
Two made it back and got crushed and the other two were stolen and never recovered.
Somewhere out there are two ultra rare Smog Hemis in a 1973 Cuda and GTX, possibly in a Junkyard.
Whoever finds one truly would have one of 4 of the very last Hemi Hot Rods worth a mint!!
At 2:48 My cousin had a blue Belvedere just as nice as that one in the mid 80's except his was a 383 Magnum 4bbl automatic.. I think he paid $1,000 for it... Try that these days.. Lol
Oh man I wish. Trying to find any project car these days for a decent price is difficult.
Super bee weight is 3,800 nice cars thanks
Thank you!
So are these numbers you're quoting for cars only equipped with Hemis? If so that's not a fair representation of the numbers of cars produced? As an example, the 1970 Challenger R/T convertible was produced in 963 various forms of colour, equipment and engine/transmission configurations. Just sayin'.
Yeah we were going for the rarer hemi engines. Maybe we should make another video highlighting the other options?
425 hp my butt. The 426 Hemi made 500 hp at close to 6,000 rpm. I thought you knew something about cars.
Hey thanks for the comment. While the 426 hemi most likely made more, 425 HP was the advertised factory specs! Share with us where you are getting your numbers from!
Rarest? That's easy, #1 the 1970 Chrysler-Hurst 300H Convertible - 1 built, next the 1970 Dodge Coronet R/T Hemi Convertible - 2 built, 1 was wrecked and the other is nut and bolt restored by Graveyard Cars, fun fact: the owner of the restored one also owns the paperwork of the wrecked one, so no one can make a clone and try to pass it off as original.
Very cool video but the AI narration is a big turn-off.
Hey thanks for the comment. It’s not AI, we didn’t realize that the audio was cutting off some words until after it was posted. Getting better as we make more and more videos.
@@PistonTrends My bad, please accept my apology.
@@SolamenteVees thanks! Hope you keep coming back for more videos!
When a video is narrated by AI I click off immediately.
Thanks for sticking around then because it’s not!😂
yea right
