| El
Hemi in Mopar Muscle Magazine
A

headline "The Return of El Hemi."
In the article, written by Greg Rager and Juan
Escalante, the story of EL HEMI comes
to life.

Through the article you are transported through
time….you can almost feel yourself going
back to 1969 Detroit and the annual auto show
in Cobo Hall. The next thing you know, a '70 Hemi
Orange Hemi Challenger is parked in your driveway
and you spend the next several years, first in
Detroit and then in Venezuela, driving the car
and building the legend of EL HEMI. If
you are a young Juan or Gus Escalante, you spend
hours looking at the car, working on it when your
dad would let you, and dreaming about the day
you'd drive it. Then, after you've had a few turns
at the wheel, a serious parts shortage condemns
EL HEMI to the garage for the next 10 years,
until Juan and his brother Gus embark on their
mission to bring EL HEMI home and bring
it back to life. |
