Another Hemi Car: Come On..REALLY?

Thanks guys . That is the information I was looking for .

Mate I don't know what calculator you used to get your percentage but $900 of $4400 is not 40%... It's just over 25%. $3500 divided by 4 = $875 ( 25%) basic math.

In the previous years, 67...68...69... The Hemi option was between $500-$600, ( from all info' I have read in Mopar magazines/books )

If we all had hindsight... We'd be filthy rich with a garage FULL of Hemi optioned cars....

I blame it on fat fingers and not looking at the figures before I sent the post. I stand corrected, thanks.

that is very true, I sold my last hemi in '89 for $10,000 in non running condition, if I had it today, in the same shape, I could get $50,000 out of it.

I love hemi cars. Even though I am a die hard ford guy I like my mopars. True but sad story, one of my dad's best friends owned the car below in the mid 80s bought it with a lunched trans for 900 bucks. Still had the hemi in it then. Fixed it and drove the BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH out of it. Dad's 429 Torino cobra ate it up all the time as they just couldn't get it dialed in. He sold it for 2200 and the rest is history. It sold at Barrett Jackson for 2.2 million a few yrs ago! He does not like to talk about it lol. He has a pic of it when he had it plus the pic below hanging on his tool box.

Oops. I re read that. It was the mid 70s. Funny thing though is now that guys owns the Torino my dad had and I am trying to buy it. Trouble is my dad sold it to this guys late brother so he kinda wants to hang on to it but understands I will give it the resto it deserves

In the mid 70's that was good money for that car. They did not start bringing more than that until the mid to late 80's.
