King Kong – 528 cid & 1050 bhp

Some of you may remember that I had a ’69 383 Formula “S” back in the day. (Red, too!) Well, Fay Wray, hold onto your undies if you get a ride in this one!
The weather was threatening rain (again), but Tom Middleton & his friend John still showed up in a ’69 Cuda with ’68 trim. I asked for details & was invited to join them in the air conditioned bar.

It’s a ’68 Super Stock clone with 528 cid & aluminum heads @ 12-1/2 to 1 compression. Custom Weiland intake; Crane cam .650 lift @ 284 duration; 5500 rpm J Stahl torque converter; 5.13 Dana rear end; 1050 Dominator carbs; 200hp NOS fogger nitrous system; Fiberglass front end; 4-wheel disc brakes.
W/out nitro: 9.5 sec @ 850 bhp.
With: 8.5 sec @ 1050 bhp

Bruce, it's yours for only $70,000!

Wheelie bars? What a wimp! J/k of course, it's an awesome car and you got some nice shots of it. 8) All old Hemis should have either dual carbs or mechanical fuel injection.

WOW. What a car!

Frank, Are you trying to get me to break into my piggy bank?
I've got to say, you've come up with a GOOD one though, and the sign on the core support, Dont fondle the ELEPHANT?
What an AWESOME car!

Awesome ride! Just the thing a guy needs to run to the store for a six pack of milk.

That thing got a hemi?

Nice shots, and nice car.

How does it corner ?

Only joking

"Awesome ride! Just the thing a guy needs to run to the store for a six pack of milk." Well, if I'd been drinking milk, it would be coming out of my nose now!

Wow, a hemi close up

I see it doesn't have a cover for bonnet. So what is the deal ?

"Wow, a hemi close up" Well, if you liked one, how about two?

even better. I love these muscle cars. A hemi will be the next upgrade to my truck

Frank, I hope you dont mind, but since we're on a "Hemi" frenzy here, I thought maybe I'd add an injected Hemi to this mix. Anyone remember "Hillborn"?

Absolutely fantastic image Bruce . Yes hemi with hilborn injectors did make a lot of history in drag races.
