Re: Hemi Charger 500 in the Barn a Barn of 426 Hemi's

Incredible find

Re: Hemi Charger 500 in the Barn a Barn of 426 Hemi's
 

Hmmmmmm, I can't IMAGINE why anyone would have wanted to break into that barn in 1994 [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif[/img] Man, that is some chunk of Mopar heaven there. Wonder what that radiator shell is with the word &quot;CHRYSLER&quot; vertically in raised letters on the side.....some type of industrial engine setup? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/confused.gif[/img]

Re: Hemi Charger 500 in the Barn a Barn of 426 Hemi's
 

That was a Hemi powered irrigation pump from the 50's. He had 2 of them!

Indeed, it was a cool place to see.

there used to be several hemi powered irrigation pumps in the local farm fields, many still operational into the 80's

Would be a nice collection if it were being stored and cared for ..Just looks like rare cars and parts being turned to scrap iron by a hoarder .Sad very sad ...

Re: Hemi Charger 500 in the Barn a Barn of 426 Hemi's
 

This is a cool Hemi powered machine that Don Garlits have:

I remember visiting Hugo Auto Salvage in Hugo, MN around 1979-80. They had a 426 Hemi running the body crusher the day I stopped by. I asked the salvage owner if he would sell the motor. Not a chance! He said it was the best one he ever used to run the crusher.
