That's probably about the coolest Hemi car, the 68 Roadrunner. A bare bones car with nothing but tons of horsepower and torque ready to destroy the skinny little bias ply tires it was born with. And usually the original Hemi cars were purchased for serious racing vs. daily driver and this is why a lot of them are found with evidence of racing mods like this one.

I'm old enough to remember when these cars were new, (but not old enough to have bought one new). There was a Chrysler / Plymouth dealer across the street from where I grew up, and I was constantly checking out the details on the cars for my model building endeavors. One thing I remember from Mopar of that era is that 'If you didn't pay for it, you didn't get it'. The Hemi Superbird they had on the lot FOREVER was a 4 speed car with manual steering and manual drum brakes. It didn't actually sell until 1976, about 4 months before I got my driver's license. Always amazed me that you could buy a '200MPH car' with brakes that were good for maybe 80mph.

@@DeadDodgeGarage Yeah, I have a Sept 1967 RR brochure and the front shows the 3.55 SG rear and HD radiator as options, but the list of options at the back of the brochure don't show them as options. In the 68 Superbee the HD radiator and fan option was $15, but is rare with the 383. I have seen 68 RR's and SB's with factory 3.55 gears, but the RR's were late 68's. 68 SB's had carpet and the RR was supposed to have the rubber floor covering, but because the RR was so popular, they ran out of that started putting carpet in some RR's. I had a 69 SB with the rubber floor covering, though I don't know why. It was a White Hat Special, with a vinyl roof, Ram Charger hood and 3.91 rear, cheaper than those options separately. The brochure says HD rear springs, but those came in police cars, taxi's and station wagons and were heavier than Hemi rear springs. The 69 manual transmission 383's got special rear springs with a half leaf on each side, to act as traction bars. That's different from Hemi manual rear springs with two half leaves on the right side only. Some 68 brochures show Hemi diameter torsion bars and HD rear springs, but I think they are 383 torsion bar diameter and regular V8 rear springs. Years later, Mopar sold the HD police rear springs as service replacements for the performance cars. The HD radiator option is extremely rare with the 383 without AC. The 3.55 option did show up late in the 68 model year.

Well, this is the second time I've ever seen a HEMI RR with no front torque boxes.... The first I saw was many years ago at a show at Don Garlits place. He puts on a huge Mopar show every year around Thanksgiving. Anyway, that car actually looked "to me", as if it had been a hemi/(re-tagged), car.. I had no proof and didn't really care that much, but one of the guys there was saying that a handful of hemi cars made it out of the factory without the torque boxes as they had made a short run on the parts. I was told, the parts were to be sent to the dealers who sold them and the dealer was to weld them on... I don't know if I believe that either, but hey, who the hell knows!!!!!

You're speaking my language on this. There's no secret sauce in a Hemi car, a 340 car, etc. Just collection of parts, most of them not at all exotic (except that engine). A couple comments... The drag racing types wanted drums because they were lighter and didn't have the slight drag that older disc setups do. If these cars came standard with discs you know some guys would have converted to drums. Also, didn't these get a standard 3 speed wiper because the 2 speed motor wouldnt fit with the Hemi? Or am i thinking of something else?

My very first charger was a 1969 RT and it was original real RT 440 it was Green black vinyl top green interior Indian Head drum brakes on the front that's when I fell in love with Dodge chargers had many more after that first one kind of wish I still had that first one cuz I lived in New York 20 mi south of Buffalo I bought that car for $125 I drove it home from where I bought it it had two rust holes in it the size of quarters I was 19 years old
