Mr Norm's '71 Super Demon

For a new version of this that is being produced now that the muscle car bug has bitten the baby boomers: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/11/mr-norms-had-terrific-mopars-at-sema.html and http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/02/mr-norms-garage-vehicles-were-at-grand.html

Chrysler advertising tried really hard to hold onto the Hemi for advertising, it's sad

click on it to get the full size version, and you'll see that the first claim is an overhead cam Hemi that will get you 30 mpg... and the little words that make up the red car on the bottom has the word HEMI above the front tire

A picture is worth a thousand words, except when you are struck speechless

It is someones custom Dart Swinger. This full page ad doesn't tell me squat about this car... so I would guess it was the 1969 Autorama show concept car.

Factory A/FX Dick Landy Dodge, 426 max wedge, 4.86 gears, 31 miles... a quarter at a time

Free cars, ones they gave away in the late 60's in contests and drawings

2 Shelby GT 500's were given away... kinda has me wondering what happened to them, and the other give away cars.

Jay Leno talks to Don Prudhomme about the 70 Hemicuda and transporter

I'm sorry, the videos were pulled by Vimeo or whoever had hosted them

For a photo gallery of Don's hemicuda and transporter that I took at SEMA: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/11/don-prudhommes-funny-car-hauler-1967.html

I also recommend you take a look at Tere's post, Don invited her to hop inside the hauler as he showed her how it was restored: http://justacargal.blogspot.com/2009/11/sema-celebrities.html

What is rare? A 426 max wedge in a Dodge truck as a factory install

The 426 Wedge was part of the $1300 High Performance Package and could be ordered on its own from the separate and distinct $235 Custom Sports Special trim package.

The HP Package was only “officially” offered in 1964 and 1965 on D100 and D200 LWB trucks. The Custom Sports Special trim package was offered from 1964 thru 1967 and could be had on D or W 100, 200 Sweptline, Utiline or chassis cab in LWB or SWB trucks.

Dodge management only authorized 50 trucks could be built with the 426 Street Wedge High Performance Package — according to former Dodge truck engineer Bruce Thomas of the Walter P. Chrysler Museum, who said that far fewer than 50 examples were actually produced. Currently the registry recognizes 31 trucks with these packages or combinations of them.

I wouldn't drive, build, design, or own them, but I give them credit for being stunningly impressive

Nice! How rarely I've seen a cool Torino!

Biotchin longroof!

N2A, posted about this company before, but I've never come across one in person... well done!

Nice simple and smooth! Great choice of rims, and the only complaint anyone had was that the wiper motor was still part of the car. Everything else in the engine bay was smoothed out, but the wiper motor is garingly blowing the symetry off. Wrecked it for one guy I talked to.

Notice the Pabst draft handle on the shifter, very cool

Wow, looks ready for the drags! Ol 'longroofan outta get a kick outta this! http://www.flickr.com/photos/11929667@N00/sets/72057594110671642/ is the full gallery from the owner of this station wagon built to road race- and be a reliable daily driver. The engine is a 383-inch SBC, trans is a T56 6-speed stick, rear axle is a 9-inch Ford.
