I say put a Hellcat engine and transmission in it and for an added visual appeal add one of those kits that allow you blow flames out of the exhaust stacks!

@Wild one rather would go with something with forced induction. Maybe have one of the new Hurricane engines built up.

I'm old school,i still don't mind carbs and distributors,and the gut busting torque you'd have with 572 inches of old school Hemi,lol.The Hellcat swap is also good,but it's been done lots lately,while a 572 Hemi isn't all that common.The upside would be the Hellcat and 6 speed swap would probably return better milege though,as a 572 is gonna know every gas station in the country,lol

I owned a Lil Red, it was meh... for accel, meh handling.. , meh braking... nice to look at, sounded good.

Just about anything would bring it up to current standards.. or, you should upgrade just about everything..

I remember driving it one morning, frost in the air, watching the exhaust coming off the stacks, it hung there like a vapor trail from a jet. We were only going around 20 mph.. super cool.. Not the pic I was looking for, but, you get the idea.

each year that i travel from San Diego to Connecticut.
I usually leave around July 19th

I am at the mid way point in Texarkana, Arkansas

While driving through Arkansas & Tennessee,
I start seeing the Li’l Red Express vehicles, most are on trailers or flat bed trucks, but then a few of them are being driven.
It is anyone's guess how many are factory made.

I have been curious just what the destination might be,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginias ?

I know that you can't get a hotel or motel any where near Hershey Pa.
They have the tours to the Chocolate factory in that time period
