Chrysler air raid siren

It could also have come from Portland, which scrapped their six Chryslers in 1965.

Well...After a nail biting 48 hours, she called me back.

And she accepted my offer! I am flying up there in a few weeks to check it out and bring it home via semi. I am so stoked!

Fantastic news! Can't wait to see what you do with it!

i wonder how many Chrysler sirens were gutted by hot-rodders who wanted the Hemi.

A lot.

Good luck on this deal. Surely you didn't offer her more than scrap value for it.
It would be a shame to go up there and find that the motor and blower have been full of water for over 40 years.
Hopefully that's not the case. Again, good luck!

Well I think they still make the dang engine. Take the old one out and toss a new one in... lol

The make a HEMI, but it is much different than the one in the siren. You can, however, order performance parts and replacement parts for the older HEMI that resides in the Chrysler.

nope, the first gen Hemi engines (331, 354, 392) haven't been made since the late '50s. The Chrysler siren has a 331. the ones you can get now fall into one of two camps. #1 being reproductions of the late '60s-early '70s 426 Hemi, which was based on the RB 383/413/440 V8, or #2 the modern 5.7/6.4 liter Hemi which is again a completely new design.
