Sales of 440 Six Pack/6BBL Cars the Past 12 Months

Let’s start with the most recent auctions and known sales of original cars for the past year. Examining the most recent sales is the best way to determine the worth of a car.

Six Pack and Six Barrel (6BBL) are the same exact engine. Chrysler called it a 440 Six Pack when installed into a Dodge and 440 Six Barrel when installed into a Plymouth.

The sales below are not clones or tributes. They are original 6 Pack or 6BBL cars from the factory. They may have a replacement engine or the original.

Prices for Cars in Need of Restoration

Cars Worth the Most and Why

There is a pecking order on the value of 440 Six Pack/6BBL cars. Let’s take a closer look and determine why they are worth more.

E-body Convertibles

E-body convertibles are worth a lot of money because there weren’t many of them made, especially Cudas.

There was no Challenger R/T convertible built in 1971 so the ’71 Cuda convertible with a 440 Six Pack stands alone.

• In 1971 there were 17 Plymouth 440 Six Barrel Cuda convertibles produced, 12 with automatics and 5 with 4-speeds.

• In 1970 there were 29 Plymouth Cuda convertibles produced with a 440 Six Barrel, 12 with automatics and 17 with 4-speeds.

• In 1970 there were 99 Dodge Challenger R/T convertibles produced with a 440 Six Pack, 38 were automatics and 61 were 4-speeds.

Plymouth Superbirds

Superbirds have a high value for the same reason as an E-body convertible, low production numbers.

In addition, it was only produced for one year as a limited production vehicle.

Its Dodge cousin, the Daytona, wasn’t produced with a Six Pack, making the Superbird the only Six Barrel winged car produced.

• In 1970 there were 716 Plymouth Superbirds produced with a 6BBL engine.

1970 Dodge Coronet R/T

There were no sales last year for this model and good reason. The 1970 year is the only year a Coronet R/T was produced with a 6 Pack, and there weren’t many.

• In 1970 there were 210 Dodge Coronet R/Ts produced with a 440 Six Pack engine.

1970 Dodge Charger R/T

Besides the Sport Fury Gt and ’71 Super Bee, the ’70 Charger R/T Six Pack has the lowest production number for one year.

The rarity and desirability of a ’70 Six Pack Charger make this car worth a lot of money.

• In 1970 there were 116 Dodge Charger R/Ts produced with a 440 Six Pack engine.

If you’re curious how many Sport Fury GT 6BBL cars were produced, find out in my article, Cars With a 440 Six Pack From the Factory. I also discuss whether Six Packs were produced from the factory in 1972.

1969 A12 Super Bees and Road Runners

These cars are worth more money because they were only available for 1/2 a year. In addition, they were produced with limited numbers. Although their production numbers exceed many of the other Six Pack models.

• In 1969 there were 1,412 Plymouth Road Runner A12 cars produced with a 440 6BBL engine.
• In 1969 there were 1,907 Dodge Super Bee A 12 cars produced with a 440 Six Pack engine.

Which Ones are More Affordable?

The cars without the original engine, non-matching numbers, are worth less.

The 1971 model year is more affordable because they are less collectible than the 1969 and 1970 model years.

A car in need of a restoration costs less money, but a large investment is required to restore the vehicle.

Depending on the purchase price and condition of the car, often the total investment exceeds the worth of the restored car.

Let’s settle the score about which one is faster in my article, The 426 Hemi vs The 440 Six pack: Which is Faster?
