Had a ride in a Hemi car today

[Fireman Dave]

Went to a car show today and saw some old Mopar buddies. One of them gave me a ride in his numbers matching '69 Hemi GTX. Wow. The last time I saw this car was about 17 years ago - prior to the beautiful restoration.



We were cruising at about 30mph when he let it breathe a little. Broke the tires loose at about 60mph! Had to lift since we were in a 25 zone.



For those who haven't had this opportunity, believe me when I say that our Cummins engines aren't the only torque monsters to come in a Mopar. Man, what a treat!

If I could find a proper bell housing, that hemi would fit in the Power Wagon... .



Now THAT would be a towing machine and a half. PSD and Duramax owners beware... Mopar Power rules!

It's the originator of the NASCAR "restricter" plate. GM & Ford couldn't keep up. Humm come to think of it they still can't! Cummins rules!!!



I seem to remember Dodge had a Hemi Diesel in their Big Rigs years ago. Not really sure maybe some Dodge history buffs can comment.

Happy Trails

4s the ticket

Saw this guy win. Four super charged alcohol really big Hemi's.

It was by far the loudest tractor in that class.
