Why would a tow truck be at MCACN? It's got a 426 hemi... in a Chevy. It was owned by a guy with a trans repair shop in Ohio, who had a couple extra hemis

No idea why a single pot brake master cylinder on a tow truck

This Barracuda ain't messing around... not with this supercharged elephant

reminder to carry a fire extinguisher in your car, especially in anything more than 15 years old.

 This appears to have been a fire that started behind the alternator, in the gas pump area.

why have all these stored, but not in cars? As useless as a collection of carbs or intakes unless there's cars to shove them in to enjoy them

I see 6 hemis

1968 Plymouth Hemi Barracuda prototype started as a 67 Formula S that accumulated street miles before being slated for dragstrip duty. Once its new role was decided, the car was re-engineered from the ground up to accommodate the massive 426 Hemi engine

an original, one-owner Rallye Red 1970 Plymouth Hemi ’Cuda that had been stored since 1976

On Dec. 19, 1969, Mike Gabriel — who had recently graduated from college and turned 24 years old — gifted himself with the new Rallye Red 1970 Plymouth Hemi ’Cuda from J.E. Grissom Chrysler-Plymouth in Center Line, Mich. The well-optioned ’Cuda arrived at the dealership from the Hamtramck Assembly Plant and went into dealer inventory, where Gabriel spotted it. His first choice was actually a Hemi Road Runner, but the dealership didn’t have one in its inventory, so Gabriel “settled” for the Hemi ’Cuda instead.

From 1970 to 1973, Gabriel used the Hemi ’Cuda as a daily driver, even during Michigan’s snowy winter months. In 1973, he decided not to put himself and the Hemi ’Cuda through another Michigan winter and its white-knuckle driving conditions. Michigan’s application of road salt further influenced Gabriel to store the car during the snowy season as he attempted to keep it from succumbing to rust. Fortunately for Gabriel, a promotion at AMC allowed him to lease a company vehicle. In 1973, he was relocated to Jeep headquarters in Toledo, Ohio, and his vehicle of choice for the daily commute from his residence in Plymouth, Mich., to Toledo was a Jeep CJ.

In 1976, engine noises caused him to buy a cam, and remove the valve covers, and it's likely he then discovered he'd have to pull the engine to replace the cam, so, that simply stopped all progress. He did died in 2011.

Magnante found a 53 Coronet with a 241" baby hemi in a Massachusetts junkyard...

the  middle of the hood was designed as a functional cold air scoop, the V is in the middle of the scoop, it’s the forerunner of the shaker or air grabber hood found in later Mopar muscle cars.

skip the first two minutes unless you really need to hear what a hemi is, for the 14 millionth time, IK swear people who make videos are padding the time with useless filler for some monetary reason

Found in Nebraska, this neglected 'Cuda has been with the same owner since 1975. It still has its original 426... thanks Mike!

someone wants to sell their 68 Hemicuda... and tried via Hemmings, but, the bids only went to 50k. The reserve is unknown, but the "asking price" is 154k (thanks Mike!)

BBQ master Moe Cason, was a BT on the Mighty Mo, and is putting together a '69 Hemi Bee with an Indy Cyl Head 572!

I bet he's related to my shipmate at Miramar (95-97) and gotta show my appreciation for him, his car, and hi BBQ!

thanks Billy O!

someone was serious about racing

Cool can, Hemi, dual carbs, extra cooling heat exchanger in front of the radiator, and what looks like there might even bee a sprayer line to wet down the radiator

maybe you want some cackle

Nice test stand by the way... MSD set up on it, etc.

the rarest hemi cars, are the two 1970 Dodge Coronet R/T convertibles and the two 1966 Dodge Coronet four-door sedans. All four cars survive today. Plus there was a 5th that Hagerty didn't learn about, but I already posted about

https://www.hagerty.com/articles-videos/articles/2020/02/19/mopar-muscle-car-facts-every-enthusiast-should-know#

the 5th was ordered by a service station owner. He didn't wait for delivery, he went and picked it up at the factory... he must have realized that the guys doing delivery and receipt at the dealership would lead foot test his car.

I like a time lapse video of a remove, rebuild, and reinstall...

Good heavens, they hide hemi's in basements? Don't they know basements flood?
