The Hemi Dart was the undisputed king of every muscle ever built to roar down the 1/4 mile. Those beast could get into the high 9's with slicks and into the 10's right out of the factory. When mopar put that monster in the dart, it was a marriage made in heaven. Blew the doors off every Chevy and Ford out there. No contest!
And it's all credit to Norm Krause and his guys down in Chicago. They called headquarters in Detroit and demanded a muscle car to keep up with the Camaros and Mustangs.Well, Detroit sent them a Dart with a 318 and they couldn't believe it because it was pathetic. So Norm asked his mechanic if he could fit a 383 in it to which the guy said he would try. Well within a few days it was done and long story short they drove it up to Detroit to show headquarters. From then on they started the muscle car empire that was Mopar madness in the 60's! There is a great interview with Norm Krause telling this story on RUclips. Check it out when you get time,it's worth it:)
@@joeysoG really....how so? Professional race cars in the 60s were barely touching the horsepower numbers that you can buy off the showroom floor in 2020. Not to mention the suspension, handling and braking improvements that are all needed to get that power to the ground.

I keep playing the start-up over b/c it's so funny. I think the guy near the car and the cameraman himself didn't know what they were getting into when he started it up. So far, this is the most awesome start up I have seen on RUclips.
This style of Drag Racing is gone forever. Factories really being involved this heavy in Drag racing that they build a car straight from the factory just for the track. Nothing these days that I know of.
Uh....actually it's evolved quite a bit to a place way more serious that this Dart with a 426 stuffed into it. Today and for few years now Chrysler sells track ready Dodge Challenger "Drag Pack" . Ford sells Track Ready Mustangs and Chevy has done Track focused Camaros. All three are cars with intention of to go drag racing. So serious they don't come with a VIN that would ever allow you to register them for the street. No IRS on these new cars. Straight axl with the heavy duty stuff required to stand up to an 8 sec or even 7 sec 1/4 mile. While this old school dart was packed with all of Chryler's best stuff at the time it was indeed all Chrysler from stem to stern.....today the effort is so very serious that the Challenger Drag pack cars come with rear ends made in the after market and (gasp) a Turbo 400 3 speed auto you'd more likely have expected to see only in a Camaro. Yet, this how much more serious things have become for the Factory efforts. They'll give you what-ever they can regardless of where the pieces come for or what is required to make it happen.
Yeah I cringed watching this video. Fact is hemis were constantly needing to be tuned if you drove them on the street. I’ll take a 440 instead. Much more reliable.
@@Jeremy198123 I would think at least. This is a very rare package, though the darts don't get quite the recognition they deserve. Always overshadowed by the challengers, cudas and b-body cars.
The engine sound would be great for an alarm clock. I put my head phones on and cranked the volume to 85 %. Now it sounds like the ones I've seen in person.
I...did not expect this startup to be THAT AWESOME....if I were there I wouldn't be the one covering my ears....I'd be standing there with my jaws dropped thinking in my head...DO IT AGAIN. I hope I can restore my dad's 1970 Chevelle to feel the sweet beating heart of an 8 Cylinder motor....god why did I have to be born in the 2000s
Don't forget only a fist full of these were made and they went to special racers that Chrysler knew could make these things fly and literally destroy the competition withspecial applications of fine tuning talent and a thick wallet or a special deal with the factory !
I agree with others. That is THE baddest start up I have seen on RUclips. Those are the cars I grew up with. They obsessed me as a kid, they still look amazing to me today.

What in the hilarious HEMI belting hydrocarbons...?! When I heard them few little pops I knew it was going to be loud! My man cleared it out as soon as it was thumping on a few cylinders! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂
I remember the first time I Stood Beside one when it started. One of my friends put together a 1970 original 426 Hemi Roadrunner. That was a drag car that ran in the tens. Never forget that feeling when those open headers hit. I've owned a lot of Mopars since then.
I'm sure that it would, but on a road course the Dart would be looking at four round tail lights disappearing into the distance. Horses for courses. Both cars are nice but each has it's own strengths and weaknesses. Each car is designed for different purposes. Apples and oranges.
Funny story,,. my father " who made his living building dragsters and NASCAR" owned one just like this when I was a kid , my mother took me to the store in it one day just down from our house on a long straight road we lived on. as we were leaving the store she started it up and some kids in a stingray laughed at her,..a tiny woman for driving it and pulled beside us mocking her and revving their engine.

When I was younger I hated these Darts ..funny how the older you get your taste change especially with a HEMI in them ...which I do have one in my short bed, single cab Express...just one little Outlaw muffler brings out a little of that music.
This thing sounds amazing. Guarantee the auction employee inside the car flooded it while trying to start it, just pumping the gas pedal. At the 14 second mark you hear the auctioneer yell "what are we doing guys?" Then at 24 seconds yells "Somebody push it out please!". But the employee finally realized it was flooded, and held the gas pedal all the way down (which drains the carb bowl after it's flooded), and kept it down for a bit too long. Hopefully it wasn't over-revved for the new owner!
He didn’t hurt anything, that cam ran off a lot of fuel once it popped off, inside my head id like to think it’s built bulletproof for how good that car looked
