In the end, a set of ported stock 186 heads made just as much power so they abandoned the hemi heads. I think there are 3-5 motors out there with these heads. But they don't seem to bring any big money like you might think. They are a pain in the butt to keep running and there are no replacement parts. Different cam, different intake, different headers, different distributor and firing order. Cool stuff though.

They also had some 32v overhead cam engines back in the 60's that never made it into production. GM did a bunch of crazy stuff back in the day that you'd never have thought.
As for the 3mil for a gold car, hmm... I don't know what's dumber, building a gold car or the idiot that thought to buy it. Obviously the buyer because it did sell but WTF I mean really WTF. Cool none the less but what would be cooler, a gold car or a bad ass car that had 3 mil worth of performance mods that just so happened to look more exotic.
