A Taste of Hemi ~ 1968 Dodge Charger
Built by B.M. Automotive Repair in Flushing, New York. Does anyone recognize the guy(s) in the video or know anything about the car which appears to be an original 1968 HEMI Charger R/T? This video is from 1970 and just look at the condition of this 2 year-old car prior to modifications. A pity.

Must have run in some AHRA GT or Formula Stock class with the Rat Roaster intake (it didn't blow up on start up!).
Anyone know what Jimi Hendrix song that is during the video? I've never heard that one before.

Re: A Taste of Hemi ~ 1968 Dodge Charger
Kind of puts lie to the brag over a car that has always been a race car will be nicer, doesn't it? Other than being driven in the snow, back then race cars probably got treated worse than street cars did. Plus a lot of them put in daily driver duty before conversion so they didn't escape the road salt anyway.

As far as the song in the video goes, you've got good ears. But then again, it's hard not to notice Jimi Hendrix. :-) The song is called Blue Window Jam. It's from from an compilation of studio recordings from an album called Diamonds In The Dust - The Best of Jimi Hendrix Rare Studio Recordings. Pete

Re: A Taste of Hemi ~ 1968 Dodge Charger
OMG. I grew up in Flushing and I remember that 66 Coronet in the video driving around town. I thought it was the coolest car I had ever seen because it was so loud. I was 9 years old at the time. LOL Great memories. Thanks for sharing
