Cars & Parts is featuring installments of Geoff Stunkard’s book on race Hemi history, to be released in 2015. Learn about the last minute block strengthening steps taken in 1964 that, had they not been successful, might have had a negative impact on the elephant motor’s success.
Enter to win a 5.7 liter Hemi complete with carburetor and ignition system! It’s a perfect setup to drop into an older Mopar. You do not have to be present to win. Find more info at Cars & Parts or at Carlisle Events.
A Mopar with its matching numbers Hemi commands top dollar. The car without its powerplant? Not so much. How about a Hemi engine without the car? Try a Buy-it-Now price of $150,000! See the story at Street Legal TV. Check out the auction on eBay.
It’s been 50 years since the awesome 426 Hemi was introduced (with a win by Richard Petty at the Daytona 500), and Ma Mopar is celebrating with this cool graphic! You can read the full story at Allpar
Ma Mopar’s elephant engine got some serious respect this weekend in New York’s Saratoga Spa State Park at Hemmings Motor News Concourse d’Elegance. I wish I lived anywhere near there! I can almost hear that sweet lumpy idle. The article in Hemmings gives a great synopsis of the engine that dominated NASCAR. Read about it here.
Update: you can see some pics here.
One of just 29 automatic Hemi Road Runners produced in 1971. This was originally gold bench seat interior. Column shift automatic. Found in a garage in Pennsylvania–I guess the buyer had known about it since the 80s and the owners finally agreed to sell (though no price was disclosed). Tons more pics after the jump!

That’s right, you are looking at the Moparts Mopar of the Month. It’s a 2000 Ford Mustang. But it’s powered by a BAE Brad 8X Hemi fed by an F3-136 Procharger. But as you might expect, quite a few Moparts members are not that thrilled about seeing a Mustang featured on their site! Check out the burly Hemi after the jump!
They only built 108 Hemi ‘Cuda hardtops in 1971 and I doubt you’ll find one nicer than this. Wearing its original paint with just 2,010 miles, this ‘Cuda is also claimed to be the most heavily optioned 1971 ‘Cuda in existence. And it looks absolutely stunning in Rallye Red with those big billboards. Yeah, it’s an automatic, but I dig the vinyl split bench seat (a $16 option). Lots more pics plus the extensive auction text from the guys at RK Motors after the jump. Yeah, they want almost $2 million for this bad boy but I’d say it’s worth it…
This happened almost ten years ago. Car is owned by Hemi Fred. Check out his save after the jump!
