The Chrysler Corporation is the most backward company I’ve ever seen. They’re engineers are capable of making some of the most desirable vehicles that should easily make them profitable. However the executives keep dropping the ball by either waiting to long to release the product, making stupid decisions and mergers or just eliminating the few things that makes sense.

Chrysler was mostly poorly managed and if it wasn't for car guys, including those that worked or got called in to save it, time and time again, it would've disappeared completely and been considered a joke when rarely remembered. Car guys nowadays are the only ones pumping some hype into any present of past products. Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler branded itself don't deserve its fans and clearly is mostly past, not present or future.

I used to race my 442 on the streets of Detroit in the early '70's, where there was plenty of competition. I rarely got beat, but the worst beat-down was by a late '60's Dart 340 that was just wicked. Those cars were the real deal, both at the strip and on the street.

It's important to note: in 1968 Plymouth had the B023 Barracuda. Same super sport drag-race package as the Dart. Both were reportedly built with only around 50-70 examples of each. Both capable of a 10.5 et with just regular race prep and tires. Plymouth and Dodge had a couple of sister models like this.

The 1968 Dodge Dart HEMI LO23 and 1968 Plymouth Barracuda HEMI LO29 were ABSOLUTE BEASTS in thier era... In a time when most of thier peers did low 14's, they were doing mid to low 11's in the quarter mile... 0_0

Thank you for this video. It seems everyone forgets about the HEMI Dart. There were also a few HEMI Barracudas as well.

The '68 Cudas and Darts still rule SS/A and have for over 55 years. These cars were so dominating NHRA invented Pro Stock to try to eliminate these animals from Pro Drag Racing. I've built 3 - SS/AH Clones and they were a rush to race.

My first car was a 1972 Dodge Demon that my dad bought for me when I was in high school in 1978. Woefully underpowered by then it was still a sharp looking ride. Miss you old man.

I had a 71 Demon 340 4 speed back about 1980 . Shortly before that a 70 Charger R/T. Good Times! Mopar for life.

I like vintage over modern . .. dosent matte if I'm in the newest .. I still take my hat off to the old school . Still scary when u pull up new cars to these old cars makes you want to think twice .

The 68 Super Stock Dart has so much stuff ahead of its time. And it was the during the golden age of motorsports

So some stuff to add to the hemi darts. They actually came after the Cuda, there were two woodward garage test cars, which were the foundation of the program. Tom Tignanelli was the test driver, and his sole job was to try different camshafts, carbs, heads, etc...on the test cars to find the optimum combination. Those reports then went out to the hemi cuda and dart drivers, as a blueprint essentially. Also, the intakes on those cars...and this is wild, magnesium, and in weight saving efforts, they didn't even have roll up windows. They use a seatbelt to pull the window up and down. Its truly wild stuff

Chrysler corp. has a legacy of engineering behind some of the best engines ever made. I knew a guy, back in the day some 50 years ago, that installed a hemi in a 57 Chevy with a Ford rear end. He was either a genius or insane, but he put the best motor in a 57. The Chrysler corp. has lived on the brilliant engineering of its engines, and has been a pioneer in new body styles for many decades. Kudos also to the guys that designed the slant 6, a power horse design that has stood the test of time.

The Hemi Dart was pretty much the reason I have my 67 Dart now. I always loved the idea of the car, though knew something quite that specialized was a bit excessive. I just loved the look though. I get into the 5.7 Hemi swap in the earlier days when they were just starting to make off the shelf mounts and parts to do the swap. It's evolved several times over its life, but still a ton of fun, even if it's not really that powerful.

Dude, bravo on this exceptional production! This is how car biographies should be. You go into hidden details of each model that most top tier tv productions skips over to make room for ad space. Keep up the good work!

Mopar has always been doing crazy stuff. Back in the 1960's my dad was at the Air Force academy in Colorado Springs. There was a local car rental where he and others would chip in and rent fast cars. Cornet RT 440's, Olds 442's, Chevelle SS and first year Camaro 67 302 Z-28's. Future pilots , so you know how those things were abused on the weekends. His favorite was the Camaro Z28's , it's handling and braking ability and high rpm range. That man could flat out wheel it.

This is a great video. Lots of accurate info… My old man Raced a 340 Duster back in the late 70s, early 80s and won 4 NHRA class championships and held the Super stock class record for many years. Mopar owned the drag strip in the 70’s and 80’s.

This channel is the best automotive channel on KZread, hell I take that back. This is the best channel on KZread. You do such a great job with these videos, I learn so much. And at the end of the video I just think to myself I cannot wait for the next one and I wonder what will the next one be covering. Keep up the great work, I will continue to watch with great anticipation and enthusiasm.

great writing, I love that you dug deep into the MoPars history. that 10 second dart was the real deal, people don't know about these cars. The Baldwin-Motion Camaros were a result of the MoPars

Great breakdown on This generation Challenger , Hellcat , Demon etc . They’re absolutely impressive and it’s kind of astonishing to see a factory car run 8.90s - as a younger man an 11 second car was very radical and couldn’t be your daily driver really. You’re accurate on the Hemi Dart tech but since both It and the 68 Super Stock Barracuda were built specifically for Super Stock racing - I’m missing the connection to it being the “ Demon of the 60s” - they weren’t in anywhere near the numbers to qualify that. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Also , it was implied that Chrysler’s first Hemi V8 was the 426 of 1964 when it was actually the 331 of 1951, with the first generation of Hemis being 1951-58. Yes the 426 was a new generation. I guess these notes are extraneous to how performance history is told today.

its incredible how the HP has grown over the years with these engines.

That’s why I will always love dodge they go out loud

The Hemi A-Bodys were born because of Certain Big 3 Engineers Playing with Toys in and around Woodward Ave. Tom Hoover being one of Chryslers most Notable with His "Silver Bullet", and is the Brains behind what became SRT. These guys were Decades Ahead of Their Time.🏁🏁

Dodge is like an Uncle Eddy. They don’t bother asking themselves if they should, they simply just do it.😂😂

I love the Demon, but I've never seen a stock one run a 9.65 or even a 9-anything to this day at my local track - Orlando Speedworld. I remember the day Leah ran the 9.65 at Gainesville and it was "mineshaft" barometric conditions, and the temp was near 50 degrees! So yeah it happened... ONCE. But it sure hasn't happened since.

The production quality of this video is incredible! Nice to see a video thats not complaining about Demon 170 markups. Keep up the good work, love the blend of old and new!

3000 dollars in 68 is equivilent to under 30k in 2023. These car prices failed to scale properly

Oh yeah! The green Demon at about 5:12 is identical to the one I bought from a guy who bracket raced it. I scoured KZread a few years ago and could NOT find a Demon this shade of green. I gave up and figured my memory was going but there it is. Oh, was my first car, too. Loved it.

Man, the modeling and editing get better every video that passes, great work man, keep it happening!

1971 Demon 340 would be in my top 10 dream cars

Great video! Its a nice change, as often videos on KZread (articles online for that matter) are loaded w incorrect info. The only thing I noticed was in reference to the trickle down effect of the demon in regards to the redeye. While you aren't wrong per se (in regards to redeye receiving the larger s.c.), the redeye inherited much more than a bigger blower and cooling/power chiller. The redeye actually has the entire demon motor + drivetrain over a regular hellcat. The engine, upgraded trans, different torque converter, stronger axles, etc etc). Nice work tho! Very cool video

Great video. Thanks. My uncle dragged Hemis back in the late 60's in a 39 Willis called Hemi Hurricane. He was running mid to low 9's and the car now spends time in the Hall of Fame in Taladega.

The way these videos improve in production quality every single time is astounding

I absolutely love the old Mopar muscle cars. I have been lucky enough to own a couple of them, including my all time favorite 440 six pack 1969 Coronet Super Bee. Sadly I wound up selling that car because, well, I simply could not afford to keep it. At least I did make a decent profit on it. But todays computerized Charger and Challenger are trash to me. Not only are they ugly, but they have more computer than car, and they are seriously compromised by the EPA. Yes they may have a lot of power and go fast, but they are not the real thing. As a t shirt from one of my favorite Mopar KZread channels says, "it's not how fast you go, it's how you go fast" And mixing computers with cars just doesn't do it for me. I now have a 1972 Plymouth Duster 340/4 speed with an 8 3/4 Sure Grip posi rear axle. It's an AZ car with zero rust, but still a bit ratty looking. It's a "work in progress" I wouldn't trade it straight across for a new "computer car" no matter how fast it was. I just turned 64, and remember what REAL cars were like. My Duster "feels" a lot faster than it is, while this modern junk feels a lot slower than it actually is.

I didnt even care too much about Dodge before this but these video just made me want to start saving for a Demon. Great content and production.
