It is so cool to be surprised by the unexpected, like this old Plymouth having a dual quad hemi

More Hemi Bee

http://elite-bike.blogspot.com/2007/04/hemi-bee-roams-roads-of-san-diego.html#links

A Hemi Bee roams the roads of San Diego.

Hemi from Summit racing and Indy Cylinder Heads, circa 1998. Crate Motor, and then some.

Look out.

610 HP, 640 Ft / Lbs, Demon Carb, Indy Heads and single plane intake, trunk mounted battery, some extra traction control on the axle, huge exhaust, H pipe, power steering, power brakes, Griffin radiator, a 6 speed Viper trans with 2 over drive gears, fiberglass bumpers, 440 6 pk fiberglass hood in a Road Runner / AAR Cuda rear spring configuration with front hood pins.

This may be the best darn thing to do with a tired old Bee. I know, I had one.

Originally a 383 Bee with a 4 speed. Now even 440 or Hemi correct with the rear side window stainless trim removed. I recall that the 383 bees had the stainless along the bottom of the windows, but the 440 6 pk and Hemi bees didn't, the easy tell, if you were looking for some subtle relatively unmolested item that would give away what it was originally.

WM23H9A251072 just for the curious.

If you catch this 56 at the lights, don't try to get a race

That's no tired old Chevy engine, its a 472 Mazzolini Racing Hemi. Stage 5, with nitrous. Beware, I warned ya.

Beautiful, very beautiful.

front and back

Very serious, supercharged and rollcaged. Found a hemi instead of the 440 he was looking for..

2007 Del Mar Goodguys

Mike Pollard's dual quad, dual plug, 68 Hemi Barracuda.

1 of 1 Hemi car

A Belvedere I stationwagon, ordered to use as a tow car for a drag racer. I noticed that guys who put together the list of rarest musclecars didn't mention it. Hmmm. http://elite-bike.blogspot.com/2007/01/rarest-musclecars-hmmm.html#links

Last years Barrett Jackson auction lists this result, but it may not be the station wagon.
979.1 1966 Plymouth Hemi Belvedere I , 2 Door Post $71,280.00

"The Hemi was available only in the GTX in 1967, unlike the previous year when it could theoretically be installed in any Belvedere. Some sources claim that the Hemi was available across the Belvedere line in 1967 as it was in '66. (One Hemi, in fact, was actually factory installed in a 1966 Coronet four-door sedan!)
A good number of 1966 buyers went for all-go-and-no-show, spending their hard earned cash on a Hemi engine installed in a lowly stripped-down two-door sedan body. To get the same engine in 1967, the buyer had to pay for the fancy GTX body. This situation left many "little guys" out in the cold, hemi wise. Thus, while 1510 Hemi-powered Belvederes were sold in 1966, only 125 were produced in 1967. The availability of the 440 took away some Hemi sales; the lack of a low-bucks body took the rest. This problem Plymouth would address with a vengeance in 1968. (Hint? "Beep-Beep!")
There was, in fact, one non-GTX Hemi-powered Plymouth available in 1967. Not many were seen because it was sold only to select drag racing teams. It featured lightweight front end components and a higher output hemi engine. Although designed strictly for off-street use, some of the cars did, according to some reports, did appear on the streets. "

A factory four door Hemi Dodge? One of 5 made, never heard of them before.

This may be the world's rarest 426-Hemi car.
Approximately 11,000 cars were made with the 426 Hemi. All of those cars were 2 door cars, except for 5 cars.

That's 10,995 street racers and 5 four doors... hmmm.

One went to Canada, one for export. Of 3 sold in the US, one is in the Ocala Florida museum of Big Daddy Don Garlits, and this one went for.... $660,000.

Definitely a sleeper. What in the world else would this be used for?

ANSWER: Thanks to http://www.classiccar.com/garage/blog/index.php?/archives/154-1966-Hemi-Coronet-Four-Door.html Ted's Garage, posted by Todd Jensen, who did more homework than I did.... and links to a Mopar Muscle article which said that the FBI ordered two for towing and field service (really? a freaking hemi? Whoa. Think they have kept up with muscle cars and now have Vipers?) but the FBI didn't like the maintenance factor and sold them off to civilians, hence the one getting into the Big Daddy Don Garlits Museum in Ocala Fla.

74 mile '70 Hemi Cuda, $500,000

A 62 yr old bought it, took off some factory stuff carefully for storage, installed race parts.... went racing for the rest of the year. Died that winter. His widow died a few years later and the son sold off the car for $3500 in 1977.

The buyer reinstalled the original parts, owned the car for 16 years, and only drove it for pushed it around for just 5280 ft.
Just one mile in 16 years.
330 ft a year on aveage.

My granny's chicken's fly farther than that with a good tail wind.

So it passed through some collectors hands for investment purposes, and in 2005 is purchased with 61 miles. This last owner tuned it up for proper operation, and auctioned it off for $500,000. It's the lowest mileage 70 Hemicuda in existance, and likely it'll never be driven over 100 miles. Sad, that's car abuse. To never drive it... might as well buy a house for investment purposes. It's never going anywhere either.

If I read right, a 71 hemi convertable sold for $2.2 million. $1.7 million more for being a convertable.

I remembered something, the 1981 Hemi Plymouth Reliant. Yup, hemi.

Verified as not a figment of my bad dreams, http://www.allpar.com/eek/k/kron.html backs up my poor memory of walking along Subbase Pearl Harbor and while getting through a parking lot noticed a station wagon had a nameplate on the passenger front fender that said "2.6 Hemi"
Now, did you ever? How sad does that make you that the suits at Chrysler were trying to tap into Hemi mania to get people to buy a Reliant K car station wagon?
