2026 Charger Sixpack & Scatpack

You can wait for the Hemi. You can pay more for the Hemi. You can’t get the 3.9 seconds to 60 or 550 horsepower with the naturally aspirated Hemi.

Can not explain 80's. I never owned one thing Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth made but have been crazy about their muscle machines for years. Especially those big bodied GTX , Coronet RTs , Road Runners .....
Serious coins. Heard about this guy who bought a "barn find." It was an AMC , ex racer JAVELIN SST. I think it was running some type fuel injection and engine the previous owner got from the defunct Bobby Allison Trans Am racing circuit team.
Once they guy got to checking it out , he finds a 1960s era Webber Sub stack carb system & manifold (signed by Bobby) in the trunk. He managed to get Allison to verify it was really one of his. He said he ended up paying for a new pick up truck with the money he got for it.

A few years ago at Barrett Jackson a guy sold a Plymouth Roadrunner with a 440 and automatic and a Daytona Superbird with the hemi and manual transmission. He sold both and ended up with a little over 1 million. The kicker was that back in the mid 80's he found both in a Connecticut junkyard. The old guy that owned the junkyard was scrapping everything in a few weeks. He borrowed 5 grand from his brother to buy both. Talk about a return on your investment. You'd have thought that even back in the 80's people would have known that they'd be worth big money down the line.
