1970 Dodge Charger R/T 440 Six Pack
This page treats the 1970 Dodge Charger R/T 440 Six Pack as a factory-built Charger R/T hardtop configuration, not a special edition. Factory Dodge literature and the 1970 Dodge ordering-code material place the 440 Six Pack V8 in the R/T equipment universe, while the 1970 Charger Registry records the E87 440 Six Pack engine option for Charger R/Ts and separates it from the standard E86 440 four-barrel and optional Hemi.
The clearest identity language is code-first: Charger R/T two-door hardtop, E87 440 Six Pack engine, with the VIN engine character expected to be V where the original VIN and body documentation survive. The Six Pack engine record is grounded in published names and codes such as "440 Six Pack," "440 6 Pack," and "440/390 HP."
For powertrain coverage, the registry reports A833 four-speed and A727 TorqueFlite automatic paths for E87 cars, plus Sure Grip axle combinations at 3.54, 3.55 and 4.10 depending on transmission and axle package. Chassis and appearance coverage is likewise table-first: heavy-duty drums were standard in the R/T option-code table, power front discs were optional, Rallye extra-heavy-duty suspension was standard with R/T, and both longitudinal and bumblebee stripes appear as documented R/T stripe families.
Because individual-car originality cannot be established from model references, authenticity notes are limited to verifiable document locations and codes: VIN/body documentation, fender tag, broadcast sheet, engine option code E87, transmission code, axle package, paint, trim and stripe codes. Claims about one-of-one status, numbers matching, surviving paint, or exact as-built combinations require car-specific records and are not asserted here.
