Ultiamte Barn Find "lost HEMI"
I have been trying to buy this 1967 Plymouth Belvedere 426 street hemi 4 speed for 13 years(one of four that fell thru the ordering cracks back in the day) In 1967 the plymouth belvedere 1 didnt have an option for a 426 street hemi. Well last friday I got the chance of a life time. The car is ALL original 31,xxx miles. The interior and paint look like new(under all that dust) Car was purchased from original owners brother(original owner died in 75 in a car wreck). When I purchased the car I asked about any other documents besides the title?? He said sorry we dont have any well I was kinda disappointed but it is a rare car and in incredible shape. On my way to truck I opened up glove box of car on trailer and there was a stack of papers and a plastic bag.In the bag was original broadcast sheet,order form,manuals,old registrations, etc. I was on cloud nine!!!! Then today when looking over car it still has the factory warranty card on core support WOW! Here are some pics and a video enjoy

That's just bad ass. WOW. I hope you keep it forever. Sometimes I wonder if we are just curators for these time capsules.

Great story and great car,
I used to ride around in one of those in the 80's buddy had one, Belvedere GTX 440 4spd car, but someone had pulled the 4spd and cut the rear wheel wells, neat car though still sold it for some good money in 85, |
