Jay Leno tells the tale of his Monteverdi, a car he calls a Swiss Road Runner because of its European styling and American powertrain.

Switzerland isn’t known for its auto industry, but Monteverdi made a decent business out of selling hybrids—that is, European cars with American engines. YouTube/Jay Leno's Garage

From what I understand, the Hemis in Hai models were all built by Petty Engineering and shipped over for installation. Wouldn't bet the farm on that, but thats what I read...

Cool car,but we have plenty of Swiss cheese Road Runners right here in the US! Just ask Dubb,he is fixing one right now!

The Hemi Hai was at our Fall Fling show once.

The motor is riding shotgun. Won’t pick up chicks in that thing.

The Hai was the only Hemi car with factory AC. Not really a production car; only 5 or so made.

I thought only 1 had Hemi. I think the interior color might have changed and the one I posted was the same as Randy posted

My understanding is there were three...
The one I worked on & test drove was Vin # TNT101 The first Hia & the one that did the Auto Show Circuit..
