When I ordered it, the dealer talked me out of the 426 hemi. Said it was a lot of trouble to keep tuned. Also, the $3500 price would have gone up about $750. A lot of money for me in 1968. The 440 wasn't an option at that time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, but I was probably better off with the 383. I used the car for daily transportation. A hemi would have been silly to have as a daily driver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
