An old friend in high school had a 71 GTX with a hemi. His dad owned a shop and bought up any late 60 and 70 muscle cars. This was in 1977 when the value was down.
Steve was correct. the 440 was more practical (hydraulic lifters). The hemi was high maintenance always adjusting the valves. But it was worth it. The sound of that engine wide open or just at idle was priceless.
