officially, 1971 was the last great year for the Hemi and 440 Six-Pack. The factory moved the few left overs out the doors anyway. A small number of Charger Rallye and Road Runner GTX cars slipped through in 1972 with 440 Six-Pack/6BBL
There weren't supposed to be any Mopars with killer engines in 1972, but sometime in the early 1980s, a Road Runner GTX 440+6 was randomly found in a junkyard, and it had the V-code in the VIN, so it was a legitimate 440 6BBL car.
Until that point, nobody even thought such a car could exist, but it turns out that 3 were actually built, and it's likely that only tin the Brothers Collection still exists.
More common than the '72 Plymouth Road Runner GTX 440+6 is the '72 Dodge Charger Rallye Six-Pack, but only two have ever been identified, and nobody has seen either one in a decade
That car pictured above was listed on Mecum in 2013 and billed as a 1972 Charger Rallye with a 390-horsepower 440ci Six Pack V-8.
