it’s not mine I was thinking about it and didn’t. If someone wants to know why I didn’t PM.
Just like my former A33 car that sold three times in four years. I know the buyers haven't been on here, because I posted a similar offer to provide information while it was traveling the auction circuit. Had no takers.
Curiosity: realize this is a 6pack car. How does the hp, torque, compression stats compare to a ‘66 satellite Hemi. Not sure if significant but an HP2.
Sorry if glomming on to another’s thread …
Thanks!
You lost me.
Geez. I lost you because apparently I can’t read. I mis-read the description as six pack (assuming a convert) v trak pack. Consider a premature epostulation on my part.
Sorry gentlemen. Onto a second cup of coffee.

I like the paint. Is that an original color?

Both of these sold a few years ago.
Was a rumor the black one has a skeleton in its closet
The red one is legit, Friend of mine bought it, and still owns it

6 pack = 390 h.p. , street hemi`s were factored to over 500 h.p. by the nhra , even tho Mopar claimed 425...jfyi
The 440 really brings on the torque down low however. I have both and I think my 440 TF would be all over my Hemi 4 speed up to 30-40 mph +/-, both stock with 3.54/3.55 gears. My 440 does have a slightly looser than stock converter though.
I kept my Car Life road test from Feb. 1968, which compared a 440 GTX with a Hemi. The 440 was ahead of the Hemi in the quarter, up to 40 mph. Decades later, I owned a pair of '68 GTXs, also a 440 and Hemi, both stock automatics, slightly deeper gears in the Hemi. Real world results were similar.
Back in 1970 I took my 64 Plymouth 383/330 TF to the drag strip. No one else was in my class and my first race a 66/67 Charger pulled up next to me at lights. I thought this might be fun and then I spotted the 426 emblems and my heart jumped into my throat and now I thought this is going to be really bad. Lights flashed green and we both took off together - we both probably had equally bad reaction times. But lo and behold through first gear we ran side by side. Hit second gear and he started to gradually creep away from me. Through the traps he finished not more than 2 or 3 car lengths ahead. He had a TF too and that meant 3.23 gears as did my car. All in all, it may have been a less than crisp Hemi but I was pretty pleased with that. Unfortunately the printer was broken and no one heard the times so I never knew. But I toyed around against a couple 440 cars on the street in that 64 and quickly found out they were in another league than me and I shied away from them.

Hemi dual carbs were tougher to tune. And easier to UN-tune.
I heard the early carbs don’t perform as well as later ones too.

I was at the mopar nats in like 1990, and everyone was making passes. Back then there were a lot of hemi cars making passes, 440-6 cars, etc. People weren't as afraid to drive them back then compared to now. I was watching the racing and my buddies and I were marveling at 15 and 16 sec hemi cars going down the track. Then, Ken Pappa came to the line in his stock appearing car(what it would be called today) and laid down an 11.0 or so. I had to see this thing up close, so I found him in the lanes messing with it and I complimented him on how fast it was running compared to all the other cars. He replied, it's not running right, should be faster. I was like HOLY CRAP!
