This is a very nicely restored factory Six-Pack Road Runner with
all the right options. Finished in Driver quality B-5 Blue with the
Bright Blue interior, this is the muscle car that turns heads
everywhere. Definitely one of the most recognizable models of the
entire muscle car era, it was made even more famous from the wildly
popular Warner Bros. Road Runner Cartoon Series. Elevating this
particular example's investment-grade option list are the legendary
440 Six-Pack engine, which is perfectly matched with the Hurst
Pistol Grip shifted 4-Speed and coupled to the bulletproof Dana 60
rear axle.
There are many good reasons why the Six-Pack Mopars are some of the
most sought-after collector cars. They are among the best-driving
yet one of the quickest and fastest cars of the era. That's because
the Chrysler engineers set out to make a very powerful yet durable
engine with highly tractable driving characteristics. They started
with a forged crankshaft, and developed extra-wide forged
connecting rods exclusively for the 1970-71 Six-Pack engines. Also
included were open chamber heads with Hemi valve springs. It's all
topped off by three Holley 2300-series two-barrel carburetors
matched to an Edelbrock manifold with equal-length runners. The
masterstroke of engineering lies in the carburetors and linkage,
which allows the car to be driven moderately and smoothly on the
center two-barrel carburetor while the outboard carburetors lie in
wait, opening on demand. With a total 1200 CFM, when you ask the
outboard carbs to open, hold on because they open simultaneously in
sync with the center carb to unleash an instant and brutal
response!
Chrysler engineered the Six-Pack cars for drag-strip domination;
and countless records prove they were highly successful in doing
so. Those engineers were drag racers themselves, and spent
countless hours testing and refining to extract maximum
performance. As a result, the Six-Pack cars were a complete
package. They featured Chrysler's strongest transmission, as well
as suspension and cooling mods, along with the virtually
unbreakable Dana 60 rear axle option. That's the same rear axle
that the nitromethane dragsters of the day used, and the Mopar 440
Six Pack and Hemi's were the only high-performance car of the
muscle car-era to have the Dana 60 as a factory option.
Drivability. Record-setting performance. World-famous name
recognition. Industry-leading engineering. There are all elements
that can make a car highly collectible. Combine them all in one
package that has show-stopping looks in the very popular B-5 Blue
and a great option combo and you have a solid winner. This is that
car.
