Shame that yet another seller can't be bothered to photograph or describe his car properly.

I  can imagine how that car handles with that lump of iron up front!!  Those old hemis are quite heavy motors.
On the flip side of things it has a hemi in it!

He ain't Hemi, he's my brother
Just being able to say I've got a spitfire...........With a hemi in it!
Is worth the price of admission.
I think he's just trying to thrown everyone off with the wrong spelling on the hood.
Sure its just a mobile engine test stand, but who cares?
It might even have the ultra rare "purple B cam" from the space program in it.
Too much fun.

All hail the mighty "B" cam

Going round again

Appears it has airbag springs? OMG... or perhaps that's a way of describing tyres for someone who has never seen them lol.

It has a 'Throughout bearing'. Far out, man.

A guy could pick it up for a reasonable amount and do the following to make it into a better car:
Remove the hemi and sell it.
Put in a smaller lighter engine so the car handles better I think one of those turbo charged Mustang SVO 4 cylinder motors would be awesome.
Get rid of the side pipes.
Tone down that cancerous looking lump of a hoodscoop.

Cheers

Yes, but with that hemi, it will have superb directional stability.
