1961 Dart Hemi

Did you know that the factory produced a Dart in 1961 with a HEMI between the front wheels?

Complete with cross ram intake, and two carbs?

Well, they did.



Here it is in the engine bay.

A tight fit, but it all goes under the hood.



The styling sure looks like the Valiant toads:



The rear:



It even sounds like a big bad HEMI:

It was only 2.5L, but it still made 140 BHP.


They eventually changed the name of the car, because of the confusion with the american economy car of the same name.

Happy 4th folks!
