[@paulossiter]

Me too! if this doesn't get your pulse racing you must be dead

[@A65Driver]

This is the best car video on KZbin. The sound of that uncorked early chrysler mill makes me cry tears of joy.

[@Lastwordismine]

How many years later and I'm still watching this...best sound ever

[@Lastwordismine]

Lastwordismine Can we ever get a remake of this?

[@kelinjohnson7421]

Lastwordismine I been watching since 2007 lol

[@kelinjohnson7421]

[@mothertree]

LOL I know it man...this baby is pure wicked love it !

[@ratrodramblin]

i've watched this video a billion times and it never gets old. when he pegs it i get goosebumps.

[@theenginekid]

The block is an early 331cui that is bored 0.125 inches by Reath Automotive. The heads are 354 industrial pieces. The valves are original ones, which are actuated by an original Sig Erson top fuel solid lifter cam, which is reground by Clay Smith. Further, the motor runs a stock crank on which Jahns pistons with a 10.5:1 compression are mounted.

[@Mechanicalinsanity]

i watch this video at least once a month, love the sound, raw power... rice burners could NEVER make me smile as i do when i hear this open hemi.. dont junk them RESTORE THEM. rat rods forever!!!

[@DWBCHALLENGER]

Had to come back for my annual "fix".....

[@systemsmith]

Sounds like a bag of spanners on idle but, damn, there isn't a better sound in the whole world than a hemi at full beans. I could listen to that all day.

[@davidthomas2145]

This is THE best vid on KZbin. Been watching it for many years.

[@peterock1313]

I’ve watched this video so many times over the years, never gets old

[@shmedlyshmee]

i watch this clip every chance i get and i never get tired of it. gives gear heads insentive to build bad ass rigs!

[@DobermansRock]

Brought back hidden memories. Thank you young bucks. Wish I could go just one more time. Before I go. Keep the dream alive. Thank you...

[@kevinp766]

18 years of watching this with headphones and wiping a single tear from my cheek. Thank You.

[@Kydox]

Best car sound ever, nothing can beat this...

[@Ajen1959]

It dont get any sweater! Brings a smile to my face every time i see and hear it!

[@jimhobbs4129]

Don "Big Daddy" Gartlis blew his Olds engine and took the hemi out of his tow car (a chrysler) and put it in his Swamp Rat front engine dragster and forgot all about running anything else. Early hemis were limited to 30 degrees timing or they would blow. When the 426 was introduced Don pulled the timing to 40 degrees and the rest is history.

[@madmikeastoria]

Thats a great story Jim..I hope to get to Ocala Fla one day to see his museum with all his retired toy's in it!

[@vancefitzpatrick9317]

a sound you can never get out of anything except a v8 beautiful loud pure American muscle

[@bugo348]

Music to my ears. That Hemi sounds beautiful when the hammer is dropped. Pure bliss.

[@sammybabizin]

I have searching this video for years!!! This is like my first youtube video I ever watched. So much nostalgia and remind me good times back then. Thank you!!

[@leonardtribble2475]

this is the coolest car on the planet....

[@starchief59]

That is by far the most wicked thing I've ever seen or heard! Almost exactly what I want to build. Major props

[@Lastwordismine]

2021 and this is still the best sounding exhaust video on KZbin...prove me wrong!

[@bodarville2510]

No other even close!!!

[@_David_E_]

This is my favourite V8 related video. Dam I love watching this. It always puts a smile on my face. It's the closest simulation I've found to the ride I had in an AC Cobra last year. Such a glorious sound.

[@Jackthelad966]

my oldlady and me dig this thump for several years now. Thank U!!!!!!!!!!!

[@timothylaurent7532]

I remember watching this video 12 years ago--awesome sounds.... Love to see it in HD ;-)

[@DasMoose9001]

I think I know this car and the dude driving it. Was built in Savannah, GA and my uncle (through my then step-mother) had it in Charleston, SC or the relevant area, survived a house fire (was in the connected garage) but was sold to build the new house. No idea where it is today if this is the same car, but watching this made me feel like I was punched in the gut, core memory stuff......I wouldn't be surprised if this is that car I grew up near for a few years of my childhood.

[@SoCalJohnston]

Sickest sounding 30-31 coupe I have ever heard. Awesome ride man! You drive it the way it should be driven.

[@theenginekid]

The Hemi powerplant was already in it, but it had different exhaust manifolds and only two Stromberg 97's. All that has changed, it now has open headers and runs 6 rebuilt Stromberg 97's on top of a Weiand Drag Star intake manifold. The headers that are mounted now are made by Jimmy, about 3 or 4 years ago he told me.

[@warrior7772]

Best video on KZbin. He drives like I used to drive my Hemi 71 'Cuda with open headers. Nice video dude. Do another one.

[@jaratt85]

please never delete this.. I have it bookmarked and listen to it regularly anytime I just have to have that sound

[@dukainmanning7246]

45yo and I still giggle. It's pure awesomeness.

[@KOOLDAVE1953]

I closed my eyes and just listened to that Mopar...I was mystically transported back to the mid 60's...right in my comfort zone. Nothing like it anywhere.

[@H4v0kksh0tgunMan]

Still find this video to be awesome, the sound quality is amazing. I like to wake up my roomaates by cranking my speakers and subwoofer and play this video half way in the middle. They hate me coz of it but love the car. Nothing like the sound of an open exhaust.

[@cathleenberreie9768]

Oh my gosh...that sounds soooo great....I can feel the power radiating thru' my computer screen...love it!!!

[@ltgator333]

This video never gets old. I've never heard an old school hemi run in person, but after watching this video it's on my list of things I gotta do.

[@ChevyBM]

I have been listening to the sound of this video for over ten years! It is fucking amazing!

[@tamasdukai4298]

So far best sound ever, and yeah i keep coming back for the sound.

[@strattuner]

that cam,those carbs,that exhaust note,the sound of compression,oh its a hotrod,hell a real one

[@xfurb]

Unbelievable, when I'm watching this my heart serieously pumps ten times faster.

[@playingwithfirehurts]

holy shit, that exhaust note is to die for

[@solidfilmsYT]

i swear just watching this video and i could smell all the unburnt fuel coming from the exhaust... brought a huge chuckie cheese smile to my face watchin this.

[@brianswelding]

I put this on repeat in my earbuds to go to sleep. ASMR

[@tonyhomeboy]

this vid gives me wood ! i get goose bumps everytime i watch it, by far one of the best clips on the tube !!! MAKE MORE !!!

[@HamptonBallance]

with that power, it throws you back in the seat!! AWESOM!!!!

[@jmb3000]

Even five years later, this video still is one of my favorites!

[@idezilla]

Wow, thanks for the ride! Brings back many fond memories.

[@GTVAlfaMan]

All I can say is, I am blown away!

[@amaranthkath]

Believe it or not, I have never bothered to acquire a driver's licence. Watching videos like this explains to me the error of my ways. Thanks for posting this.

[@unclebobisms]

4 speed stick ,six pack on an uncorked Hemi , a cool body and no front brakes.. I want it.,why you ask, cause I don't want to die in an convalescent home

[@6sudali]

Who could ask for anything more?

[@johngrepo9976]

This is how a gearhead has to leave the world

[@toshiedrive]

ABSOLUTELY DEADLY!!! looooove that hemi sound.

[@countryman1970]

I still want to know more about this car, I've been watching this video for almost as long as it's been on here. Love that sweet sound

[@Pedalpunk57]

Ol' Betsy was flyin' as Ms. MacAlistair gripped the seat tight, her knuckles as white as her hair. Suddenly we arrived at the doctor's office. I downshifted from 3rd into 2nd, then to first as we pulled into the parking lot. We rolled up to the entrance. "Thank you.." she whispered as she tried to catch her breath,"thank you so much." Beads of sweat were on her forehead and somehow her blouse had come undone." Oh, my Lord!" That was quite a ride.....I feel so, so...DIRRRTY!

[@walterwilliams4513]

Here I am again….just needed to hear this badassery to make the day better!

[@rlworzella]

If the sound of that old Hemi doesn't send shivers down your spine, you have no soul. Cars like this prove why "street rods" completely miss the point!

[@oldmusher]

The intake (carbs bolted to it) is called a "log" style manifold. Each side has an open area under the carbs (plenum) and as each cylinder fires it can draw gas/air mixture from the plenum. Not all cylinders fire at once, so the positioning is not as black and white as you imagine. Plus these are relatively small carbs. There are single 4-barrel carbs available that flow more than all 6 of these antique strombergs. Of course, they don't look nearly as scary!

[@NickG40]

This is what a REAL Hemi sounds like.

[@Arcticun]

This is Jim White's Model A Coupé 5w, 331 Hemi bored 0.125, The heads are 354 industrial pieces. The valves are original ones, which are actuated by an original Sig Erson top fuel solid lifter cam, which is reground by Clay Smith. Further, the motor runs a stock crank on which Jahns pistons with a 10.5:1 compression are mounted.

[@kwikuk]

HOLY SHIT!!! Sweet sweet music to feed the soul!!!

[@mrtexboilerman]

That is without a doubt the sickest, coolest, "video" ride I have ever experienced here.....major friggin cool!

[@esteladapper8892]

Yes it is... the best video on KZbin

[@darricknratrods]

the dude laughing at the end sums it up

[@Mccabone]

Jimmys car was driven from California to Temple Dragstrip in Texas ran Low 12's with skinny bias ply tires then drove it back to California...!!! I have a lot of respect for this car and Jimmy is a stand-up type of guy...!!! You should see his other rides...!!!

[@mungers88]

The first video i ever watched on youtube and saved 16 years ago, wow

[@Lastwordismine]

Been a while...back again for some nastiness

[@Duckalow]

If you can drive this monster without smiling or getting chillbumps, you are a grade A hardass.

[@GTVAlfaMan]

Take that Eurotrash cars! This is the best sounding engine on KZbin.

[@76ditchrider]

has to be one of the all time best hot rod videos...

[@judgegixxer]

Too much fun.I like how the guy standing outside at the beginning can't wipe the grin off his face.

[@billville111]

Supernatural - something that is not supposed to happen but does happen. When I am Emperor, these will be available for your drivers license test drive.

[@winkytct]

that sound is music to my ears! i love it!

[@speedon1000]

2:30 - 2:35....AWESOME! That Hemi at idle sounds bad ass!

[@Cliperty]

speedon1000

[@barfyspitz]

Isn't funny how just the sound of that badass makes people smile uncontrollably.

[@mothertree]

LOLOL

[@salemcripple]

I like the non-mounted camera in this vid. It alows you to see the G's when accelerateing.

[@barryruss4042]

I first saw this video 5yrs ago when I was 52 I enjoyed it so much I'm now 36 😎😎😎

[@Pedalpunk57]

"Sweet hot Methuselah, goodness gracious!!" replied old Ms. McAlistair as she got into Betsy, my 31 Ford." I don't remember them looking like this when I was a child." She peered over her bifocals to get a better look." I'll have you there in a jiffy,"I said. I pressed the ignition and the old 392 roared to life."Hang on," I said as I slipped it into 1st and floored it. Betsy screamed as she lurched forward, leaving a trail of burnt rubber behind her. "Oh my Lord!!" Ms. MacAlistair screamed.

[@PTAR1984]

It’s been 14 years and I continue to come back here I wish there was a way to get this video with today’s video quality

[@BjarneRousing]

You know it's a god sound, when your hair on your back rises.

[@Ratridez]

You sir are the king of ratrods 👍

[@death3051g]

bad ass man i love at like 2:19 he blows past the 35 mph speed limit sign lol

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

I have not been here for a while... It's good to be back!!! :-)

[@moparXdarren]

are you kidding me "rotorhead"?? this dude IS a gearhead, and this is what hot rodding is all about! who gave you the golden key to say whats too loud for the streets?! i mean, ever since the birth of hot rodding, theres been guys who wanted to be different, rebel, and make a statement...THATS hot rodding at its finest!

[@jimz68]

I like the fact that it has a manual tranny and not a friggin' auto. Sound great on the over-run!

[@theenginekid]

The grey primered Model A body, with gasser style, blue lexan windows, is mounted on a '37 ? '41 Ford chassis which is shortened, narrowed, boxed and Z'd in the rear. A straight axle is mounted up front and is from the same era as the chassis. Jimmy replaced the split-wishbone suspension in the back for So-Cal Speedshop hairpins.

[@NorthEastLowrider4lyfe]

the most old school pantie dropper!...love it!

[@magnaflowedramx4]

Theres nothing that breathes like Chrysler HEMI"s. Valve design is superior. That car is just amazing!

[@Titliest07]

i turned my speakers up all the way. the woofer shook the floor and knocked my phone off the desk. so worth it!

[@killicka]

Absolutely Awesome. Prob the best video on youtube, and the sound it makes is just immense!! Great work!!

[@jfc1320]

coolest thing I've ever seen on KZbin.

[@bigj480]

If most people call it a rat rod......it's a rat rod. People determine the meaning of the word an any car that is driven around with shiny paint or a complete interior is commonly called a rat rod. What if he left the car rust or primer? Not matter the label, it's a badass car.

[@MrNiveq]

Manual gearbox is just awesome, every gear change is epic... I'll take manual over automatic any day

[@tristancauvin]

*droooooooool* Who needs a radio when you've got 8 straight pipes to listen to.. And that idle almost made me cream my pants...

[@Sidetracker]

Sweetest sound in the world!

[@salemcripple]

hell no, i love that sound, and the louder the better! Like my bumper sticker says, "if it's too loud, youre too old"

[@westlander87]

every time this guy hits the rev limit before he shifts, my head is making these sick faces, cause that hemi pulls crazy like a mthr !!!

[@AtticaSalt]

Still the best video on KZbin.

[@k98k9]

I don't know how many times I've watched this clip but it never gets old.

[@Steven_McCrae]

Goosebumps every time man ,

[@czwij]

that engine should be called a dodge "beethoven". i have never heard anything sound so good.

[@Pedalpunk57]

She was fanning herself, trying to cool down and regain her composure. "Good grief!!!" she gasped," I haven't felt anything like that in years!!" She slipped some money into my hand, kissed me on the cheek and was gone. I looked down into my hand. She had given me a $100 dollar bill. I wonder what all the extra money was for.

[@NoID17]

this is what i am calling amazin' engine sound 5*
