Nothing really to celebrate in this day/age. Dodge has beat around the word "HEMI" so bad, might as well as say "It's Got A Motor", for all that most drivers care. My old 82 Challenger had a 2.6L "Hemi" head motor, The A12 "Lift-Off-Hood registry group likes to think of it as the second Scheduled Production Date "window" of April 26, 1969 426 for the A12 package cars. The first date was March 29, 1969 for 1,000 total cars of which 500 were to bee Super Bee "Six Pack" cars and 500 to be Road Runner 6BBL cars. Of the 500 each 300 were to be 4-speed and 200 to be automatics of each Super Bee and Road Runner. They were all sold or ordered immediately so another SPD "window" of production was set for April 26, 1969 426 and another approximately 1400+ Six Pack Super Bees were scheduled along with another 900+ 6BBL Road Runners. Ironically IMO the A12 package were similar to the Dodge Challenger DEMON in their planned market and customer and again ironically both had a production run of 3,300 total cars...........coincidence? I think NOT Oh and there was talk about the Demon's hood scoop being the largest hood scoop ever or at least on a Dodge.....well the math was done and the A12 hood scoop is LARGER in opening area. IT'S A12 SECOND BIRTHDAY DAY Mike

Chevy 402, then the March Chevy's 302,305,307,327 Ford 302 Pontiac 321 And let's not forget HEMI Liter Days of 5.7, 6.1, 6.2 and 6.4 that are all coming up. Guess we'll have to expand National Displacement Day to National Displacement Months for March, April, May and June...........then with the 440 plus engines and all of the other big, big block July for those +7 liter engines too.
