It ain't a 426 anymore, but it's still a Hemi.

A friend in AZ has one, reverse of this pic: black interior, medium red exterior but full wheel covers. Looks like a priest's car, until you notice the 4-speed Hurst shifter and the discrete 426 hood ornament.

Hemi heads, yes. 426, no. If strictly on the basis of the combustion chambers, this is also a hemi:

Had a ride in a 1966 Plymouth Satellite 426 Hemi. I was 9 years old and I still remember it!  :skid:

1966 Dodge Coronet
Originally factory ordered by the FBI, later owned by "Big Daddy" Don Garlits. One of two built.

I really like the sleeper look. I should get a flat black wrap, steel wheels and centre caps for the Jetta.  ;D
