The biggest difference between the Charger R/T and the Mustang GT in the movie Bullitt was that they installed a smoke machine in the trunk of the Mustang to simulate tire smoke,while the Chargers smoke machine was up front under the hood in the form of a 440 Magnum engine! No tire smoke simulation was necessary!

No offense, but how hard was it to smoke a skinny 14" bias ply tire?

With a peg leg rear axle to boot.
440 4 speed Chargers don't have peg leg axles,but the Mustang did. That's probably why they added the smoke machine to the drivers side wheel well on the Mustang.

The left tire doesn’t seem to be smoking in the uphill picture
If you remember the scene,the Charger takes off blazing both tires,cutting off the car that was going left around the end of the island,and takes a hard right up the hill blazing the tires up the hill,so the weight was off the right rear after making the right turn. So the right rear tire would brake loose first until the sure grip grabs and the other tire starts to break traction,you can see smoke under the left rear tire as it starts to break loose. Look right at the bottom of the left rear tire you will see the start of heavier smoke as the tire is starting to loose traction. It's a sure grip not a locker.

Fake tire smoke and the hole in the Mustang where the smoke machine was attached.
Original owner 69 Charger 500!
!970 Charger Daytona R/T photographed at Dodge design studio at Hamtramck Michigan in the winter of 1969. Note the Michigan Chrysler issued dealer plate.
The Prototype 66 Charger. This car was on display at the Chrysler Pavillion at the 1965 Worlds Fair in New York City. My wife her brothers and her sister were given a ride in a Chrysler Turbine car while visiting the worlds fair. My wife is the taller girl in the backseat of the Chrysler Turbine car. This her her now holding the Chrysler Turbine car promotional model that I found for her last fall at a local swap meet!

He is going for the Nascar look,no wussy dog dish caps!
My 70 Charger R/T V code 440 Sixpack car was built on the last day of Charger production for 1970. July 10th 1970. It might be the last Sixpack Charger R/T built in 1970. I am trying to start the trend of using the Vulcan hand gesture as a wave for V code owners to use to wave to each other! Lol
A Charger racecar being towed by a Charger! Farmtruck and Azn were there too!
