Hemi's weren't all that. In the real world a Stage 2 Buick was a faster car. And easier to live with. And much better built.
The reason hemi's are so collectable now is "back in the day" nobody wanted one so not many were produced. And during the gas rationing era hemi anythings sat unloved on used car lots just like any other big block car.
