Friend of mine had a new 6 Pack 68 or 69 Super Bee. No power anything if I remember correctly. Drove like a tank to a kid of my 17 years.
In 71 I bought a 70 GTX 6 pack that had p/s and brakes I believe. It was a heavily optioned, air grabber car. Black with a gold bucket seat interior. Very pretty and fast car that I wish I still had. Seemed to handle a lot better than the Bee.
Scared the *%+# out of my girlfriend. She had a Vega with an automatic. I let her drive the GTX and at the hit from the first stoplight it almost did a 360 before she got it stopped !!!!

You are correct, that was one of things that was wrong in the article but there's one more thing...look at the color photos and see if anyone can spot it.

The performance chart lists the brakes at 10" diameter.

They came with the Big-Body 11" drum brakes.

In the pic with the air cleaner off, it appears to be a shot from the driver side, but it is actually the pass side with the fuel lines and vacuum pods, but the carbs are facing in the opposite direction.

Looks like tht part of the image was reversed, like a mirror image.

For a little while along time ago I drove on the street with a 440 six pack in my '72 Chrysler Town & Country. Spray painted "Wagons of Steel" on the wood grain, howling 4.56 gears from some old pick up truck, flat black hood with a scabby old JC Whitney "Super Six Pack" scoop, black steelies w/no hub caps and chrome lug nuts...those were the "salad days" I guess!

I wish I still had the Six Pack set up.

Yep you guys spotted the reversed photo with the distributor, fuel lines, carbs/vacuum pods, & coil all on the wrong side.
