Post by: 3.0CSL on March 31, 2020, 02:37:28 PM
Not sure of the date of this advert, but I wonder if this Hemi has survived ?

Be awesome to hear Mike Littles memories of this car !!

I think he's a bit low on his price; tell him I'll give him $7000!

I actually think I know where that car is.  It's tubbed, has thru the floor frame connectors and has the Shaker.  Was drag raced for a long time.  Owners dad had Landy's last Hemi Dart, 1973.  Ran that car as the "Thundering Wedge".  Had a 500 inch hemi block with stage 4 heads all cut up and epoxied by Landy with a "sheet metal " manifold made of aluminum angle.  His brother raced Hemi's and bragged he could beat him with a wedge.   Sitting on a homemade rack 10 feet off the ground in a shop.  Has fiberglass dash, fenders with originals all wrapped up and mint.  Paint perfect. They have same area code.  I bought my 69 V21 Hemi Charger from him.  That car has sat in his shop since early 90's at least.

Probably it all right. Cars didn't migrate much in the 70's and 80's.

Well at least it's off the ground and not sitting in the grass and it isn't being used as a storage shelf.

The method of holding it up definitely looks spindley ... but it must be adequate because it looks like it has been up there for a loooooooong time. I was wondering how it is that it got up there ... forklift??

Yes a fork lift.  I'll have to get you the numbers and a few pics of it racing along with the story.  Those are fiberglass fenders and dash on the car now the take offs are in rafters along with the dash.  Was a bench seat car.
