Story

1970 Dodge Coronet R/T 440 Six Pack

The 1970 Coronet R/T was Dodge's top Coronet performance model, offered as a two-door hardtop or convertible. The optional E87 440 Six Pack combined three two-barrel carburetors with a 390-horsepower gross rating, while R/T equipment supplied heavy-duty brakes, extra-heavy-duty suspension, bucket seats, hood scoops, and model-specific identification.

The production references report 194 Six Pack hardtops and 16 convertibles. They further divide the hardtops evenly between 97 four-speeds and 97 TorqueFlite automatics; the convertibles are reported as seven four-speeds and nine automatics. These figures remain source-reported rather than factory-ledger totals.

Axle choices depended on transmission and package. The cited specifications list a 3.54 ratio for the manual path and 3.23 for the automatic path, with optional performance ratios and Sure-Grip availability. Exact axle, ratio, brake, stripe, and trim claims still need the individual car's fender tag, broadcast sheet, and drivetrain records.

Authentication starts with the V engine character in the VIN and agreement among the tag, broadcast sheet, engine and transmission stampings, axle documentation, paint, trim, and stripe codes. R/T badges, Bumble Bee graphics, hood scoops, or added Six Pack induction do not establish an original factory configuration by themselves.

engine The 1970 parts-catalog carburetor chart now resolves Holley front, center, and rear carburetor vendor and service numbers for B/J/R/W/P 440 3-2 bbl applications by ECS and transmission, but complete engine assembly, casting, and date-code tables are still not recorded.
