Probaly using up parts. Six pak rods were used in all '70-2 U code 440's and also used in some '73-later motorhomes with 440-3.

V-Code 72 Charger with Air Grabber. it was also on the front of a magazine like Muscle Car Review many years ago. It was a project car. I was only 16/17 at the time when we drove down there and had a complete 1/4 cut off the side of a B5 blue 71 GTX. Still have the 1/4.

Really, more info, great find though if it is. 72 440-6's are really not that much of a mystery. It was planned to build them. The 72 Dodge and Plymouth data books have all the info on them. The were cancelled very early in production. 6834996-72_RM_E87_600.jpg (41 downloads) Seeking: 1969 St. Louis plant VINs, SPD, and VONs. Over 2,000 thanks to you!

Thanks The only OPTIONAL DANA 60 for an automatic HEMI (or 440) car was 4.10:1 ('69-'71) Dan, my question about the '68 ('69) auto Hemi's was more on the Suregrip/non-Suregrip for the standard 8-3/4, 3.23 differential. A friend loaned me his bare bones (and I mean BARE, no radio, rubber floor mat/cover, non-decor, B5 blue with blue interior) RM21 Hemi, column auto, '68 road runner back in '69 as he was working on my '69 (3.91) road runner and his '68 auto Hemi had a 3.23 open/non-Suregrip differential, I know this for sure. The first time I got on his Hemi rr and looked for the double stripes I was shocked and confused that it didn't have Suregrip. So is it true or false that a '68 Hemi B-body with an automatic had an 8-3/4 non-Suregrip 3.23 ratio differential as standard? Thanks, MikeR

If you wanted a HEMI, you paid for it. & If you wanted a Sure-Grip, you paid for it. I don't believe there were any "base" cars that had a sure-grip as STANDARD equipment. Some of the "package cars" ('69 A12 - 3x2bbl, '69 A13 - a-body 440, '70 A13 - Superbird, '70 A53 - TRANS AM) included a sure-grip (D91) as part of the package.
