Re: weekend trivia




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?
