'65 Belvedere 1 with a real deal race hemi

[HT413]

Hey fellas, looky what I saw the other day - 65 Belvedere that was sporting a real deal RACE HEMI (#12). Came across the car at the spring swap meet at Raceway Park NJ this past weekend.

He bought the race hemi from a guy's collection complete minus waterpump and exhaust manifolds. He replaced the rotating assembly with a stroker crank and slightly lower compression pistons. Now it's at 11.5:1 and somewhere north of 470 ci. Best part is he drives it and RACES it, though gently. He regularly makes passes in the 12.0's but says it really is a high 10 sec car (though he doesn't seem like he plans to find out for sure.) My dad and I talked his ear off for a while, real nice guy.

Enjoy...

Lol, thats weird, they're not sideways to me. Then again, i have been accused of getting a bit sideways from time to time.

Also,does it have different interiors for different occasions ? !!!

I dunno, the guy told me it was a race hemi only option. What do i know? :head_smack:

But it is a recreation not an original Hemi car. I read the article in Mopar Muscle about the car and it's history.

True, I just thought you'd all get a kick out of seeing a real race hemi being run. I've never seen one and have never heard of a guy driving/racing his.

nice original motor, those spark plug wires are a fortune to buy. nice detail on the engine bay.

Second interior picture is a Charger...

I like the car. Nice enginebay indeed and I've never seen one in person too. Well, i'm from The Netherlands, Europe...These cars are rare anyway.

Not An A990! But Stick A Set Of Hilborn Injectors On Top Of That Hemi And Out The Hood! Those Idiots Will Be Peeing All Over Each Other!
