1969 Plymouth Roadrunner 440 "Six-Pack"

My favorite Mopar!

I've been wanting to build one for a few years now and finally got the motivation to put it all together.

Not everything came out the way I wanted it too, but it was still worth the time.

 

Since this is for the 64th LUGNuts challenge, I can't forget the engine!

 

The legendary Chrysler RB engine in its largest form, 440 ci. with 3 twin-barrel carburetors, giving it the nickname "Six-Pack". It produced close to 400 hp. Also found in the Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda, this engine was the most powerful of the 440 series and the last one before new emissions standards forced a higher compression exhaust system to be fitted causing a dramatic loss of power for the '72 model year.

 

The 1969 Roadrunner was among the last of the great muscle cars, and in my opinion, one of the coolest.
