7. 1970 Dodge Charger R/T 440 Six Pack
Parallel to the Hemi version, Dodge offered the “440 Six Pack” Charger R/T, housing a 440-ci Magnum engine with three two-barrel Holley carburetors. Rated at 390 hp and 490 lb-ft of torque, the 7.2-liter V8 generated immense midrange grunt. Its cast-iron high-rise intake manifold funneled air through the trio of carburetors, producing an explosive surge when the throttles opened.
Mopar’s engineers balanced the Charger’s hefty sheetmetal with Magnum-spec suspension and wide Goodyear Polyglas tires. In testing, a 440 Six Pack Charger R/T would reach 60 mph in around 5.7 seconds—diabolical for a five-passenger coupe tipping the scales at 3,800 pounds.
