Ahhhh, that looks terrifying….
An actual high performance wagon , unlike a rehashed cop car with a hemi in name only engine.

Too bad Mopar only built this 426 Actual Hemi 1964 station wagon.
Hey don't be hating on the Hemi.... Still better than a LS any day. I didn't know they'd offered a Hemi in any wagons.
Hey absolutely NO hate for REAL Hemi engines !
1st. Gen :
Desoto : 276 , 291 , 341 , 345
Dodge : 241 , 270 , 315 , 325
Chrysler 354 , 392
2nd. Gen.
All Mopar 426 !
These are all real Hemi's and are way cool in my Book 1
Anything built in 2003 and after are basically a modified wedge engine heavily marketed as a hemi to be relevant , looking at you 5.7 , 6.1 , 6.2 , 6.4 liters !
With a supercharger the 6.2 can be a strong runner ! But they are not relevant in anything other than a Challenger.
Too large , Too heavy , Too expensive , limited support aftermarket for the power / cost equation.

One of my favorite Fords ! I'll take mine in a 69 Boss 429 Mustang ! , but back in the day even Ford referred to the Boss as a "semi-hemi" head.

Real Hemi's are unique compared to wedge motors , ( OR modified wedge motors ) .
426 Mopar Hemi Head !
