The Complete History of the Chrysler Hemi

1 OF THE BEST YOU TUBE VIDEOS FOR A CAR ENTHUSIST! Hemis Have always been an American Icon. Thanks.

Absolutely Beautiful! Just watched all 2 hours worth while in my pinkie and doing the family’s ironing! Ha. Here in the UK, the American muscle cars are only seen on a Sunday and at car shows in the summer - what a shame! Petrol is $2 per litre here and all nearly all cars are the standard inline 4 cylinder 1.6-2 litre engines… We have a 06 Jeep Commander with the 5.7 Hemi - and we Love it! Converted to LPG with a Flowmaster exhaust and a sound to die for… in fact, all the older generation always turn heads and smile when we go past… you can tell they remember that time when owning a muscle engine was just like being on a date with the prom queen! Regular maintenance and with some love and care and these Hemi’s can hit 300k miles… EV cars? Hydrogen Cars? Over my dead body! A Hemi makes me feel alive and always brings a smile to my face! Thank you so much for this… the Best Hemi video I’ve seen!

And the legend continues.

I thoroughly enjoyed this history of the HEMI engines , very interesting , and a lot of great photos of the old mopar Nascar and drag cars . As an owner of an Australian in line Hemi 6 cylinder engine, it is interesting to learn of it's relationship with the ball stud Hemi .🙂

No mention of the fact that the IMPERIAL was SEPARATED from CHRYSLER DIVISION and became It’s OWN MAKE/BRAND and DIVISION in 1955…meaning that, from THAT YEAR on, it became “The IMPERIAL”….and was no longer the “Chrysler Imperial.”

Zero mention of Big Daddy Don Garlits and his contributions to Dodge/Chrysler which he's still involved with to this day..

Great video at 9:50, it explains how Ford had use of the hemi as well and I love both versions of the hemi, Chrysler's and Ford's.

Chrysler striving to be cutting edge and different is why I love Chrysler. Richard Petty and Lee Iacocca wouldn’t steer us wrong.

This is the era of great Dodge/Plymouth cars, I love the styling. Great work on the repairs Myles, keep the videos coming.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 ...I needed this on the Monday...

Battery Electric cars will never take over, too many downsides to overcome, they can definitely be a transport solution in certain applications. Why is there a not a mindset that both types of vehicles can co exist.

If I ever buy a classic Chrysler, you’re darn right I’ll be keeping that authentic Chrysler starter. It sounds much more refined than most other starters, so that would be the last thing I’d ever want to change.

Good video. You know your stuff. A lot of videos on YouTube about 60s racing cars are inaccurate.

Wow, dude! Excellent history! I had never heard of the indy roadster effort. Gonna have to finish the viddy in two viewings, it's very detailed. Excellent work!

Wow ! Though I was never a Chrysler fan BITD . I did have a friend that had a Super Bee before I went into the army in 68 . It ran VERY strong . Had NO idea that the hemi had this lineage ! Great video !! doc BG 68-71 RVN ...

Awesome documentary. Thank you very much for all this work.

Really good video of the goat of all engines The awesome HEMI

i enjoyed every minute...hats off to you.thanks

426 Max-Wedge was very fast and quick at the Drags. So were the 440’s stock. Street Hemi’s so so but the 426 Race Hemi was King !!! I had a 68’s Hemi Dart

How come nobody ever explains what makes them better Or what makes a Hemi a Hemi The valves are rotated 180° placing them in perfect alignment with the intake and exhaust ports.
