Plymouth HEMI Cuda de course

Chrysler Hemi Cuda at Belbeuf Hillclimb

Here is an interesting picture of one of the four Hemi Cudas at the Belbeuf hillclimb in Normandy. Judging by the paintscheme and licence plate, it could be Christian Avril in 1972 or 1973.

The art of racing a HEMICUDA in the rain

Here are two great pictures of Gerard Sarrazin during a hillclimb race in the early seventies.

Hemicuda at Mont de Ventoux hillclimb

Thanks to our fellow reader and Hemicuda owner Pascal Sarazin, we received these two great vintage pictures of the famous MOPAR at the Mont de Ventoux 21 km hillclimb. Pictured above is Gerard Sarazin in 1972 and below Henri Chemin in 1970. As you can see on the early picture, Chrysler France was not sure about its official paint scheme for the cars during its first year of racing!

Gerard Sarazin in HemiCuda at Hillclimb

Here are some great pictures from the glory days of Ecurie Chrysler France, when Gerard Sarazin and Christian Avril (on picture above) twisted the E-Body frame as hard as they could to get to the top quicker than any other thing on four wheels!
