The cast-iron Slant-6, nicknamed the "Leaning Tower of Power," earned a reputation as an engine that simply refused to die, with many units sailing past 200,000 miles without a major rebuild. It became the default workhorse for economy cars, police cruisers, mail trucks, and commercial fleets for decades. The 1968 Dodge Charger with the 225-cubic-inch Slant Six engine is one of the rarest and most ironic configurations in muscle car history. Out of roughly 96,000 to 97,000 Dodge Chargers built for the 1968 model year, only about 906 units (some sources cite around 904–906) left the factory with the Slant Six. That makes it significantly rarer than the famous 426 Hemi Charger.
