Yeah, on the plaque, 426 HEMI.

It's amazing what some people are willing to pay for a piece of fame...whether it's vintage VW, autographed baseball card, or even the General Lee. I just wish I had the 2 mil spend on such a frivolous purchase.

If you read the text, it says the plaque says "426 HEMI" but it really has a 511 700+ HP motor. So, no Hemi.

It has a newer crate motor--but it is still a Hemi--look at the pictures the plugs are still down through the center top of the heads.

If you're like me and can't afford this General Lee, here's one for $25!

I could find tons of other things to use that kind of money on.

BTW--your 1.8T can be said to have a "Hemi-esque" design. The valves are positioned across from one another and the spark plug is centrally located.

Yes, the 1.8T does have an awesome looking head design.

Of course, to be a "real Mopar gal" you got to wear some "Daisy Dukes"!
