It took decades for these cars to become valuable and lots of Fed rate repression . My high school buddy sure wishes he had kept his 69 Firebird for 40 years.ICE RULES!!! This may be one of the better investments i have made in the auto space..Paid $45,000.00 before Christmas as a gift for my wife….just for giggles I ran her by my bank and they said they would cash out finance her for $55,000 at 5.2% 5 year….These uncut trucks are going for $80-+$100k all day on the auction sites (BAT). How much has your Tesla appreciated in the last 2 months?

HEMI Is Back in a Big Way: Stellantis Targets 100,000+ V8 Engines for 2026
Stellantis is moving to significantly expand HEMI V8 production after demand for the engine outpaced supply in 2025, according to Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis. In an interview with Mopar Insiders at the 2026 Detroit Auto Show, Kuniskis confirmed the automaker is increasing output following last year’s shortfall, when Stellantis was unable to build enough HEMI-powered trucks to meet customer demand.
In 2025, Stellantis received roughly 50,000 HEMI orders but produced only about 30,000 engines, limiting retail availability and muting sales gains. Kuniskis said the gap was the result of capacity constraints, not lack of interest, as the company reintroduced the V8 while also ramping production of its twin-turbo Hurriance I6.
Kunikiskis added that Stellantis plans to build more than 100,000 HEMI engines in 2026, more than tripling last year’s output. The increase is expected to better reflect actual consumer demand and clarify the long-term mix between HEMI V8 and Hurricane I6 powertrains. Kuniskis estimates the HEMI could account for roughly 35 percent of take rates once supply stabilizes.

I thought you said Stellantis was stupid?

They were, until they fired their woke CEO and got back to selling what people want….my gripe has always been that these fools bought into the con, wasted billions chasing unicorns and now have returned to reality….
