Hemi auto or 440 six pack 4spd, which one?

[C_stripes]

If you could have one car, what would you choose and why. a 426 HEMI with an auto or a 440 six pack with a 4spd?

 

[super-bee_ski]

Hemi auto
Just like my 1970 Superbee...

(cant out-shift an automatic)

 

[Coyoteduster]

69 1/2 Roadrunner A12 4 speed :headbang:

 

[snakeoil24]

Hemi what else is their?

 

[C_stripes]

Lets take this a step further. Hypothetically, its a 70 V code bee or a 68 HEMI coronet. Both complete projects. Both in about the same condition, both pretty close to the same price. Both red, with white stripes. Bee is a ramcharger hood. HEMI car is missing all the drive train and correct K frame, bee has 4spd and dana, no engine.

440 six pack with a 4spd.

Do you have a chance to buy either one?

 

[mopar12372]

a 440 6pack is faster /quicker than a street 426 hemi .
i like both so thats an open question

 

[Richard Cranium]

I've had both a hemi automatic & Hemi 4 speed and I think the hemi is better suited with an automatic. I'va also had 2 4 speed 440-6 cars & I like them as they were.

 

[RS23VOA]

I would get the Hemi only because its a hemi car. The 6pk car would be cool also. Buy both.

 

[NJRR]

What's the choice between? Faster or more fun? The Hemi auto might shift faster, but there is no doubt the 4 speed is loads more fun to drive !!!!!!

 

[hemi*guy]

HEMI ..4 Speed...the ultimate!!!!!

 

[kiwigtx]

As much as I would love to own a HEMI car whether it be 4 speed or auto, I would go with a 6-pack 4 speed car any day....gotta have something for that left leg to do on a road trip. :hello2: And side-stepping a clutch is sooo much fun. :headbang:

I think the "numbers" on the 68 Bee are very exclusive...
Extremely LOW production car.
But hey...it is all dependent on "what you like/want"

Again, as I always say....
"Dont buy what the market dictates...buy what YOU want/LIKE"

I'd personally take the 68 year model Coronet ?
{I assume from what you wrote, 68 it's not a Super Bee ?}
over a 70, 68 is my favorite year across the board,
But if ones a Coronet & not a Super Bee ?...

That may sway it towards the Super Bee for me...
Unless the 68 is an R/T, hands down then the 68, regardless of trans type...

I like the 70 V code Super Bee 440 six pack 4 speed & Dana 60, I really like that combo,
not a big fan of red though, I do think the 70's body style is a good looking car...

But the 68 I like better, so it would be a tough choice...

Really depends on what all came, with what car...
But best of both worlds is a 68 Coronet 426 Hemi 4 speed {18 spline} & Dana 60 would be cool as hell,
but that's not an option, so the Hemi & 727 Auto would be cool too...

Buy both...LOL

But for the best bang for the buck, which is more complete ?,
is one more complet more trim & hard to find parts etc. ?
does either one have any of the OE engine or drivetrain ?
does the 70 have 440 six pack manifold & carbs or engine &
the 18 spline 833 trans or Dana 60 still ?

The 68 with no Hemi, no K member suspension or drivetrain in the 68 ?
IMHFO your just basically buying a fender-tag, vin & build sheet
unless it's a screaming deal I'd pass, it will cost 2 times as much to build correctly...

NOW
If $$$ isn't a factor, the 68 Hemi car can bring more $$$,
I guess if your not going to sell, building it for yourself, it doesn't really matter,
But if you can find & use the proper date coded parts
& it's done correctly, the Hemi car can theoretically bring or be worth more $$$...

If it's just for fun, seat of the pants, shits & giggles buy the 70 Super Bee
440 six pack 4 speed car...

If it's for bragging rights get the 68 Hemi car...

Yes, these cars are available. I really wish I could buy both, but I don't think there is any realistic way that I could. The super bee comes with two parts cars including a 383 Bee. 70 bees are my favorite car. 68 coronet R/T's are in my top five. So it's kind of tough. I will be buying one though. The main thing I am looking at is the cost of the HEMI. As for body work and availability, the 68 would probably be cheaper and easier, but the 70 has a ramcharger hood and I love some of the items available on the 70. The other thing to mention is I am a true believer to build the car how you want since its your money and your car. However I won't take to much away from the originality either. The HEMI car is only about 3k more, but doesn't come with the extra parts.

Hemi-Auto

Head vs Heart.

I think my heart would win. DAMMIT! It's a Hemi...

My brain tells me that the 440-6 would be better... but, DAMMIT! It's a Hemi!

X2 .. best answer

 

[Brandy]

426 auto...because i'm just too old and lazy to push in a clutch pedal that often. And...I mean...it's a HEMI!!!!

 

[kiwigtx]

If everyone had a HEMI, would they be as special?? :eusa_think:
