    Clone ?
    « on: February 28, 2006 - 09:18:38 AM »
    The title has me a bit confused:

    1973 Dodge Challenger Hemi 392 Hemi Clone, Only 36k Miles...

    Any help here ?

    Seems pretty straight forward to me mate.  :dunno: :cheers:

    1973 Dodge Challenger
    392 HEMI engine with 36,000 miles on it (maybe from new or since rebuild)
    Clone (which is false, so it's a custom)


    They just used the HEMI word a little often. :thumbsup:

    The 392 Hemi was discontinued in about 58-59 time frame.....

    I'm usually wrong, but this I beleive is in referrence to one of the new hemi engines? But the point is since there were no 73 e-bods made with any kind of hemi engine a true clone is impossible. Goes back to the thought a clone is an exact replica of the original, so if it didn't exist in the first place then it can't be cloned. Still be a darn nice car though.
