That thing is fricken' awesome !

What do think it's going to go for? $100k ?

[UFO]

No "26" on fender tag,also no performance pkges.I would have to check but I don't think the 6 pack option included the big rad.

[TruckDriver]

  WOW!!!

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

How comne no one is noticing the hole in the roof?

Thats one of the block of 5 or 6 V2 sunroof 6-pack cars made for the auto show

Hopefully Chris or Don can chime in on the spec

I dont think Ive ever seen a "show car" tag on one of them before.....damn nice car though

[Johnny SixPack]

Well, well, well.
I finally get to see her.
Also looks like it'll finally silence those who said there wasn't an EV2 SixPack Charger at the Chicago Auto Show.

That my friends is a dead on twin for my '70 R/T SE EV2 SixPack sun roof/luggage rack Charger.

Chris, do you know the VIN for this car?
It's tough to make it out from the pix.

*edit*
If it's 933, then my car is the next in line (she's 934).
932 is owned by a fellow named Steve and is awaiting restoration.
Also, the rest of that tag is an exact match for mine.
And it would explain why I have the extra screw hole where the 'Show Car' tag would have been.
*edit*

And there were more than 6 of these things all made at the same time (sequential VIN/order #s).
One was at the Chicago Auto Show, and the rest went out to the highest volume Dodge dealerships as floor/display cars for the '70 model year.

With a little bit of searching I've found that there is a string of matching EV2 SixPack sun roof Chargers stretching from 932 to at least 941.
Even have a copy of 933s build sheet I got from Galen.
So far it's the only that still has/had a build sheet found with the car.

I've tried to get MCG interested in the story of these EV2 SixPack sun roof Chargers, but they don't seen to care.

Either way, it's cool to see what my Charger looked like originally.

  wow awesome looking charger    intresting  6 cars same spec .. how many survive  i wonder 

[Johnny SixPack]

Hahaha, always willing to oblige:





She's nowhere near as nice (or restored), but sits as she has since being painted after the 3rd owner removed the vinyl top and luggage rack back in '85.

Here's a pic of 932:



A pic of 941:

good pictures  thanks for sharing 

[Chris G.]

Definitely an awesome set of cars that rolled down the line together. Also notice no radio code on the car. I am pretty sure they all came that way. Like UFO mentioned, the 22" Rad was normal on any 6pack auto car without an axle package. The show car tag is the only one I have ever seen. I am not sure if that is real or not. It seems like adding special tags are the thing these days.

The car is being shopped around at Mecum and it was also at Russo Steele I believe. I am sure they want a ton for it, but who wouldn't? I love those sunroof Chargers.

Wow, that's really interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Also, thanks for sharing pics of your '70. It looks SWEET !

[69bronzeT5]

Damn, those things are beautiful!!!!

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

So Johnny does yours have this show car tag?  Sure looks like it belongs there....

Thanks everyone! 

Chris, mine doesn't have the 'Show Car' tag, but if she was one of the ones that ended up as dealer display models I guess it wouldn't.

Truth be told, after I found out the history on my car, I've wanted to try and track down as many of the remaining 'sisters' and find out how/if they've survived.
How freakin' awesome would it be to see just two of these sweet '70s Chargers sitting beside each other?
Let alone 3 or 4.

There's gotta be a way to light a fire under MCGs ashes about these cars.

Anybody got any connections?

Well, if you have that extra screw hole, that should answer that about the show tag     The ad states original show tag.

A beautiful Charger, 440 6Pack, loaded to the nuts.
But notice the 22 inch radiator. 

That was standard on a 440+6 with an 727 and 3:23 rear gear ratio.........  My 1st v-code '70 Charger R/T had a 22" rad.. Johnny's is a standard 22" incher as well.............

Nice seeing the ole' girl Johnny.... Did ya get to the Dayton show?

[Johnny SixPack]

Rechecked today, and there is no hole.
Just a lump that turned out to be rust.

Tag matches though.

Meccum: M99115 / XS29VOG100933

Yep, mine was originally a 22", but someone swapped in a 26" somewhere along the way.

I did make it to the show.
Brought the '70 and the '69.

Brenda's '73 Panther Pink 'Cuda brought in a trophy.
That's the only love the MoPars got.
