Welcome!! A good friend of mine has a '68 Charger with a Slant 6.

[Memphis Mopar]

Welcome to your new home 

[dyslexic teddybear]

Good for keeping the /6

I like the unique stuff, will be looking for pics.

Welcome to a great place with lots of great information. I'm new on this forum myself and in a short time I was helped a whole lot by some of the kind folks here.

Slant six Chargers are cool, I have a 68 with a 225 and three on the tree

Any odd ball is what I wind up with. LOL Yes, the 6 is very cool especially since gas is almost $4.00 a gallon. Depending on rust issues, I plan on just pulling it out from under the tarp and bringing it to drivable condition.  I don't have the funds lying around to do a frame off. I do know that it will need the full gambit. Tires, breaks, Batt full tune up. I know I will have to work on getting the motor turned over. Ill pull the plugs and soak the pistons with WD. I will just have to go from there!

Hey that's how I started. Mine was an ex drag race only car for 8 years. Take it one step at a time, you can do it! (My whole dash and most of the wiring was in the trunk!  )

Don't think odd ball......

Think UNIQUE!!

Positive mindset is critical when working on old rigs. Especially after you skin your knuckles, drop the hammer you were holding on you toe, and when the pain subsides you realize your knuckles are leaking.....a lot.

I really love the odd ba.....ahhh...I mean unique ones. Seems a good plan, free things up, get it drivable.

I've had a couple of /6s, about the same MPGs as a 318.....meaning decent.

I'm envious.

Would LOVE the three on the tree one too. Can you imagine the younger crowd.....not only having never seen one.....not understanding how it works.

Priceless.

[70/I6 charger]

UMM.. yeah ,unique that's it!! LOL 

I have always been able to find the odd ball, and obscure. I posted about my mustang. It was  4spd mated to a 200 I/6!! I bought it from the original owner. He showed a lot of fondness telling me about it, when he ordered it from the dealership.

The three on the tree is definitely cool, I had a Maverick with one. There was a learning curve to it. No one I knew could drive it. LOL Every one who tried, couldn't grasp the concept that it's the same as on the floor. 

I'm not sure what is in the charger as for the trans. When  got to look at it , it was just for 2 or 3 min and I was looking at the skin more than any thing. Main things are to get some seats for it, and get it driving. This will be my 5th car revive so I know what I am in for. My last project was an old Chevy delivery van that sat for 7 years. A couple of weekends later it was running and looking good.   I might be able to get up there next weekend. many pics will follow.

Right on!  Cool that you mentioned registering @ the Registry.  I think it's rude to verbally pimp another Charger forum on another Charger board anyways usually hoping my signature catches attention.

I wonder how much luggage you could put in the engine with only half or less of it used?  Between the front bumper & rad. support as well we're talking a lot of empty space.

I know I've said this before but I'd wheel past a row-ful of Hemi & big block cars' to check out a slant 6 Charger.  Good for you in planning to keep the 6.

I wonder, my '71 e body was a 318 car with AC & had a 26" radiator support.  If your car is truly a /6 w/ A/C from the factory & not an add-on, will it have a 26" rs?

[maxwellwedge]

Do you have the VIN handy?

[70/I6 charger]

No vin yet. I'm in southern Ca Bksfld, and he is up north by Redding. My FIL works full time plus so I have to wait. The last time I spoke to him, he asked if I was still interested in the car. We worked a deal on the phone. Now it's a waiting game for me to get synced with my Dad to borrow his truck "his work vehicle" to go pick it up. It's all about scheduling. It has waited for this long a few more weeks wonkt rust it out to much...

PICS and VIN comming soon!!! 

[Chad L. Magee]

Nice to meet another member with a complete 1970 charger /6.  Is yours a plain model (no pads on the upper doors) or a 500 model by chance?  You can tell by the first two letters of the VIN (XH plain, XP 500).  Check out the information on the 1970 charger registry as it has the breakdown on production numbers for the /6 cars, but only gives the total produced with each option (as the way it was reported back then).  The plain models had 181 made and the 500 had 29 made (including the one of one 500 SE), so total production was low on either type.  You need to look for the buildsheet(s) if there is one in the car somewhere....

There maybe about ten to twenty 1970 /6 Chargers left in any shape, including those that have been converted into non-/6 models.  Most I have seen have lost their engines long ago....

If yours happens to be an XH model, it could have had the bench seat like mine does.  Those are fairly hard to track down, but you can find them in regular 318 optioned XH Chargers if the owner did not switch them out for buckets yet....

[FlatbackFanatic]

Welcome!!! A /6,thats cool. You just don't here that every day. I'm glad your keeping it that way too.

Thank you for the specs and info. The one and only time I saw the car was a while ago. It was uncovered enough for me to see it wasn't that ate up cancer wise. It was uncovered for maybe 5 min tops. I never was able to look at it thoroughly. VIN and PCS will be posted the night I am able to get them.

[Brightyellow69rtse]

im glad your keeping the /6. ive actually never seen one in a charger before!

[70/I6 charger]

Sounds cool, i won't lie, i'm not a fan of 6's but from what i heard the Chrysler slant 6 is about as indestructible as an engine can get, what more do you want?

[charge69]

My mother bought a 1960 Plymouth with the slant 6 and pushbutton auto brand new. They definitely are not fast but they are a great engine. Looking forward to seeing yours and welcome to the site.
