I did not think that I would ever see another original Hemi. Think back with me to the 60`s. When someone brought home a new hemi, the first thing we did was make it go faster by working on it. It did not stay stock very long. They were bought to race and not look at. A 426 hemi was engineered to race. I never owned one but will always remember the guys that did and the fun we had. Again, You are one lucky man. Bob.
