15 grand is a lot of money for a 15 hundred dollar car.

I'm pretty sure the days of a 1500.00 68 Charger is over. It's not the 90's anymore

Wow, the starting bid amount is $15K.

I've always liked the idea of a slant six to go with my V8....I would not mind betting that there would not be another one in the UK....as no one wants to import a non V8 Charger. Too much money for that one though IMO.

Lots of space under the bonnet for a turbo or two.

This is the perfect car to restomod, your not going to hurt the value of this car by using that slant 6 as a moring for your boat,and putting a modern Hemi driveline in it!

The novelty of the slant 6 though - believe they only made 500 - would cause me to pause restomodding it.  Though the cost/effort of restoring a car which results in a 6 cylinder would make one pause as well.

I had a 71 Barracuda vert that was a slant 6 car, one of 163 made,but the novelty wore off very quickly, and a 71 383 Magnum soon replaced the slant 6 and it's extremely lackluster performance.

Pretty different for sure. So base engine, base brakes, non remote mirror but WHOA... shoulder belts!!! Yup gonna say yes to that option for sure!

JR

I always thought if I had a slant 6 car I'd yank the 6 and swap in an RB25 or 2JZ.

Keep it a six, but actually have a fun straight six.

I've owned and daily drove a slant 6 3 on the tree charger, the novelty wears off really quick when having to drive that turd...from the outside people saw badass charger but really it was a gutless embarrassment when driven. Rare doesn't mean desirable either....

If it was a mostly unrestored survivor then I might vote to keep the slant.  


But once you are tearing the whole car apart & rebuilding everything . . . I couldn't blame the owner for putting a V8 into it.

I agree with chris,
when i first agreed that it was time to purchase a second gen charger, the fella whom imported it for me asked what size engine was i after aswell as did i mind the colour etc etc.
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.

As rare as a slant 6 charger is, personally for me wouldnt last long. These cars just look MUSCLE and scream MUSCLE and having a 6cyl imo ruins that.
One good benefit tho, you wont have to fill up after every drive though hahahhaha. The 440 in mine sucks the juice up. haha good times tho. LOVE IT!

chargervert

If you are worried about fuel economy, a modern Hemi driveline would get as good or better milage than a slant 6 on its best day. My wife's 09 Challenger R / T classic got 28 mpg on a recent trip.

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.
