Car and Driver,,,,,,,,,,,September 1969

For the price,,,,,,,,they liked it better than the 426 Hemi
Top Speed; 126 MPH
Suprisingly, they tested it on a 'road course',,,,,,,,

There the el bandito bee that came colorado area. I only know what was posted here though.

I purchased this car new from West Colfax Dodge in Lakewood CO, saw it on the transport and fell in love. This was No.#3 of the first 5 of these cars delivered in the Rocky Mountain region.

Someone asked about original colors, "Bandito" was “Yellow” body as seen in pictures, “White” Bee band stripe, “Black” vinyl top. Put 500 road miles on the new car then changed to 4.56 gears, Cyclone headers and Mallory ignition, never pulled apart other than a few Mickey Mouse tests performed by local tech guys. (Nothing like today with the test equipment, gauges, etc). At old CDR in Colorado Springs CO they put a piece of wire in one spark plug hole – felt no bumps on the piston and declared the car “legal” ??? The car had only 1,210 miles on it when sold, like one of you said it had more drag miles than street miles.

Thank you for remembering

The '69 engines were internally balanced. The heavy rod came in the '70 externally balanced engines.

1969 440 six pack motors used the standard 3.75 stroke 440 crank & rods with the stock 440 harmonic balancer and used an aluminum six pack intake cast by edelbrock.

1970 440 six pack motors used the standard 3.75 stroke 440 crank & beefier rods with a special harmonic balancer w/extra weight and a cast iron six pack intake made by Chrysler.

Some early 1970 motors used the aluminum intake. Chrysler had leftovers and used them up.
