I had the chance to meet the man on a more personal level. Spend the afternoon, eat some food, go for a ride in one of his "Wagons". He definitely wasn't what I was expecting from someone that had been in Hot Rod magazine and famous. He was just a guy that was like anyone else. He was down to earth and treated me like we had been best friends for years. One of the highlights of my life.

great build but such a terrible name to call it...

@@rayhope7957 - It's a play on the original truck that it's named after, Bill 'Maverick' Golden's "Little Red Wagon". They replaced the word 'Red' with 'Dead' to keep with the "Graveyard Carz" theme of the series, where they literally bring back cars from the dead and miraculously restore them.

What happened to the other mechanic that just such nice work assembling the cars anybody know

MARK THINKS THAT HE IS SO SMART I THINK HE HAS A DEMENTED MIND AND A VULGAR VOCABULARY

I REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE RIGHT ON AND TELL ME ABOUT HEMI UNDER GLASS..

Your like me SS your a chevy guy but you give a compliment cause it's about a nice ride Im a mopar ford guy but a nice chevelle or a nice corvette deserves recognition which I always mention to the owner the joy of hot rods etc has no gender or race only brand favorites See The USA In A Chevrolet

Absolutely. Dodge really dropped the ball on the retro-charger in my opinion. Being the owner of a 1968 Dodge Coronet 440 big block car, seeing Dodge do a real retro 1968 Charger R/T build (like they did with the 1970 Challenger R/T would be sweet.

If Im not mistaken the original is in the Don Garlits museum in Florida but I could be wrong

Anything Mopar is worth looking at, hemi or no hemi

@@kevin61906,True 👍

He was not the original owner, nor even the original driver.

It looks like an all wheel drive car with those giant wheels, I agree with you there is something funky with the front fender area. It doesn't look sleek and clean like the original, there's a lot of funky stuff hanging off of it. But if they put it into production I wouldn't complain, it's better than nothing

A caharger is a rare car so rare I never even heard of one

Hugger orange...I had one...440×6 conv....stolen.

I love them too becasue it's so cool, but after 14 years of manuals with a 5th and even 6th gear giving me at least one overdrive...I want a car that should have a 4 speed but has a 6, so I can afford to take it somewhere.

She is reading off of a board or something because normally she has no idea what is what when her Dad ask’s her questions.

True tested numbers show 490hp for the Hemi and 370 for the 340 Six Pack, all it was was higher rpm and some timing tweaks, the numbers shown to the government were real just not the peak hp they actually put out. The 440 Six Pack wasn't as high as the Hemi due mainly to the superior flow abilities of the Hemi Head, the Hemi's true value comes in with supercharging or turbo charging that's why it's the engine for top fuel racing.

I find it disappointing that they don't do more Dusters, Darts and Scamps.

49 years

The 70 Hemi was a 426 big block the 2019 is a small block

The one down at Don Garlits Museum was a replica, It had an empty Hemi block and empty transmission, It was just built for the museum because the last running wagon was still on tour at the time, I know this because I donated the headlight covers and the grille, Because I used to crew for Bill Maverick Golden and the Number Four Little Red Wagon from 1988 to 2002 his retirement, That truck has been sold three times since it left the museum, Also the truck and the museum had the driver sitting on the left side and that's the way it was with Number One and Two, Number Three and Four to driver sat in the center with Center steering in the center seat, The last running truck is in the museum in Coal City Illinois and a private Mopar Museum of Greg and Kathy Mosley.

I doubt it would even be stable enough for high speed.

26:13 why are the side exhaust not angled/aligned to the body for SEMA?

@@bosley629 one of many details

That's for the more$$ than sense crowd.

No, elephant is Chrysler, Rat is Chevy.

Is the body welded to it?

Mopar guys don't want that garbage,. Mopar or no car
