Actually, here's the write-up of the engine...
It isn't a Mopar, but this '23 Ford track roadster packs a Hemi surprise
that might make your head spin. Sold for $38,500, lot 699.2 has a fiberglass
Speedway body and fabricated Hindman chassis. But the real news is the
engine..
With its wide rocker covers and prominent plug wires, it looks like a
traditional Hemi. Then you notice the front-mounted distributor, aluminum
block and oil fill instructions written in Japanese. Surprise, it's a Toyota
Hemi V8! Never imported here, these alloy Hemis made 190 hp and were used in
Toyota Crown limousines and light trucks. Displacement is 241 cubic inches
and overall dimensions are akin to a Fifties vintage Dodge "baby" Hemi.
Weird, huh?
