I believe that only 2 of those Hemi 4 doors were produced, but I could be wrong.

Don said there were four, two in Canada but he doesn't know where they are. He has a good story in the video.

There's no sound until the 4:50 mark or there abouts.

Oh yeahhhh baby.
I can finally say....every day is potentially Hemi day at my house . After not owning one for nearly 30 years.

It makes me grin every time i walk in to the garage.

Can you Imagine A 331 Hemi , 2bbl., 3 on the tree , imperial Brakes & Springs... Supposedely
Famous Race Driver “ Briggs Cunningham” drove one !

They Soon Discovered They Needed ...MOPOWER...(pun)...
Chrysler Had “Bohnalite “ a Detroit Prototype Shop Create A Dual Quad for The 331 Hemi .
