Barry Washington turned me to this great message board!! Thought I share our story w/you guys. My brother Gus and I are the proud owners of "El HEMI". Car was ordered by my father during our stay in Detroit. Go to
www.elhemi.com for more details. A life-long dream will come to reality this Summer at Carlisle when we debut the car

What can I say? El Magnifico!!!!
It must be very rare with a hemi-car that has belonged to the same family since it was bought new. As close as you can get to a one owner car. I liked the photo when you were driving in the snow. Quite hard to get the ponies down under such conditions, eh
Good luck!

Amazing story. Amazing car. Amazing work getting it back to new condition. Amazing web site. Amazing owners.
That was the easiest way to sum it all up.
Thanks for showing us this and sharing your story with us. And thanks to Barry for pointing you in this direction.

AWESOME! love the vintage photo. Absolutely Beautiful car. Those Hemi's sure look big (and scary) when you stand beside them – on your website.

Wow, the picture of the car with the slotted mags and 340six pack hood scoop looks MEAN! In either variation it looks great though!

I remember reading an article about that car in Mopar Muscle when it firsta arrived in the states (I was about 14..) That car inspired me to take the revell-monogram challenger kit and stuff the hemi engine it...I painted it red and painted the t/a hood just like the pictures of El Hemi coming out of the shipping crate...
