I 'm just stating the obvious. I sold 4 of them last year, and there's two more going soon. I also sold three b body Plymouths too . I have realized that I can't build them all.

No you don't.


One of my jobs in the late 70's was driving a slant 6 equipped Dodge van with 3 on the tree & what a sloppy shifting dog that thing was. I like my Chargers to be all original, but I would have no problem yanking the slant 6 & 3-speed and throwing them in the trash.

wish it was a 3 on the tree!!

I have a base model 1970 Charger /6 with that transmission combo.  It can be hard to see what actual gear it is in sometimes...

I just wanted a charger so bad i said i didnt matter if it had a small or big engine haha, now i look back and am so glad i was able to bring in a big block 440 RT charger, i reckon if it had a 318 or 383 id have the bug in me to rip it out and replace it with a 440 or bigger.


There's nothing wrong with a 383, especially the 330 HP versions.
Mopar forever!

the slant six option added no value in the sale I see...that's about what any charger in that condition sells for...just proves what I've been saying about slant 6 chargers all along. Just because it's rare, doesn't mean it's valuable or desirable. Most of all...definitely not fun to drive, at all, remotely close compared to big block cars. Too much weight for a small motor, plus the sound of it does not go with the looks of a charger. Just like a viper engine in one...sounds lame

I tend to agree....but if everyone keeps dropping V8s in then the ones left might still not be  "valuable or desirable"....but they might become very collectable...which in turn will see a steady increase in value.

I agree...I recall seeing V10 Viper engines in some cars in magazines, praise showered over the car and the build....But to me they sounded terrible, sort of like an airplane engine or some bullshit like that. ALL that work to fit the morphadite engine in there only to sound worse than three weed wackers at WOT.

A Viper engine sounds like a UPS truck.

Lol, I have a V10 in a Viper where it belongs. At low RPM's it's definitely not music to the ears, but at least on the new ones with the variable cam, at full whack it sounds violently magnificent. With a naturally aspirated 645hp scooting 3200 pounds from corner to corner for 30 minutes at a time on a road course without a hint of overheating, I'll keep that over the heat soaking, nice sounding supercharged modern V8's all day.
