The late 1960s and early 1970s were the pinnacle of the muscle car era. To make their presence known, high performance Mopars had aggressive looks and tire smoking horsepower in doses to fit everyone's taste and pocketbook. The 1968 Road Runner offered a freshly restyled body, cartoonish decorations, and a hot base 383 ci engineit was a street racer's dream. The single expensive flaw was the only optional engine a Hemi. This left a wide gulf between being fast 383 and being really fast Hemi. In 1969, the problem was rectified by the 390 horsepower 440 Six Pack. The option cost half as much as a Hemi and gave Hemi like performance. It made its way into a number of vehicles, including the Road Runner, Super Bee, GTX, Coronet, RT, Charger RT, 'Cuda, Challenger, and the rare Superbird. In addition, the AAR 'Cuda and TA Challenger featured Six Pack technology on the smaller 340 ci A engine. In Six Pack Mopar Street Muscle in the '60s, author Robert Genat pays homage to the powerful Mopar Six Pack cars that have often been lost in the large performance shadow cast by the Hemi. Genat's amazing color photography and insightful writing make this book a must have for every Mopar enthusiast.
