pettyfan, that's possibly what he was thinking? A383wing dont apoligise, i was very interested to see that pic of the DOHC hemi. But im guessing...that's no street motor  high compression, big h.p and torque a shame it wasnt to be.

[472 R/T SE]

Yep, in the '70 Challenger R/T, the 383 was the base option motor.  Someone most likely got their Charger & Challenger bodies mixed up.

The dude said it was all 2nd generation Chargers so I doubt they were thinking e body.  Just lack of correct knowledge & denial.

You guys are forgetting about the "Challenger" option on '70 Chargers.  The rare 1970 Charger Challenger R/T Rallye with the Tri-motor 413 Hemi. 


I had one back in the day.  Richard Petty himself wanted to buy it from me but I wouldn't sell.

I thought i was the only one with that rare optioned e body 

[Ghoste]

Hah!  I had one but it was a 69.  Rare prototype version and it was Chrysler that wanted to buy mine cuz they accidentally left a carb on there that helped me 72 mpg effortlessly.  They tried to force to sell it to them by saying that I should have never been able to find a secret prototype e body Charger like that in the first place but I threatened to sue them and tell the world about the carb so they backed off.

[70 Charger RT]

Here's a pic of the VIN on my 70 RT /6. (it's actually a factory mistake, the car had a 440 in it when my brother bought the car new).

I read an artical once about a one off proto type chrysler Ball stud hemi that dick landy owned ? what the difference ? between these ?

[Mike DC]

The early 70s "ball stud Hemi" actually would have been cool if it had been produced. 

It was the propsed next step in the big block Hemi development.  Basically coming up with a way to put Hemi-ish heads onto a standard 440 wedge block without all the 426H drawbacks.  The weight/width of the cylinder head castings, the head-bolt situation on the block, etc.  It wouldn't have been quite as powerful as the 426 Hemi, but it would probably have made it into a couple hundred thousand cars/trucks in the 70s/80s and it would have been virtually as streetable as the wedge motors.
