Getting a “Six Pack to go” took on a whole new meaning for Dodge Charger R/T buyers in 1970. After showing up in a version of the boxy, brutal Super Bee late in the 1969 model run, the new 390 HP engine was now offered in the R/T model lineup as well. As seen here, the Charger body itself, in its final season of second-generation styling, also featured changes. These included the wraparound front bumper and the special door scoops which were exclusive to R/T models. For power, under the hood was a 440 CI Six Pack V-8 engine. Based on the RB-series Magnum wedge, in this instance, the mill shows off OEM detailing, electronic ignition, a set of cast manifolds feeding its dual exhaust system, and the oval air cleaner with engine decal. A tough A727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission was behind this, completed with a 3.91-geared final axle ratio and 8 ¾ differential. The Six Pack order meant the entire Hemi frame and suspension, and this car is also equipped with power steering and power brakes.
Another new facet for 1970 was this paint color, extra-cost High-Impact FJ5 Sublime, completed here by the new black Performance Hood Treatment, black wraparound rear stripe package, and a black vinyl top. The Charger remained just as upscale inside as well, and here features a matching black bucket seat interior with wood-grain accenting. There is a center console with push-top factory ball-knob shifter, thumbwheel AM/FM radio, Tic-Toc-Tach and 150 MPH speedometer in the dash cluster, and a three-spoke sport steering wheel as part of this. The exterior hosts script Charger and trademark R/T insignia in the grille, tail panel and side scoops, while other bright touches are the exhaust tips, bare-metal flip-open gas filler, body and wheel well trim, and a set of Rallye wheels with dark argent center caps and trim rings. The Charger was much different when 1971 arrived, and the car offered here represents the pinnacle moment of the second-generation release.
