Labor Day Replay:

Step inside the legendary Hemi Hideout, where automotive dreams come to life in spectacular fashion. Once housed in a simple barn, John Hovas's remarkable Mopar collection now resides in this purpose-built sanctuary that celebrates American muscle in its most glorious forms.

The collection tells a story that began when John was just 18 years old in 1970, explaining his particular affinity for vehicles from that era. From the moment you walk in, you're surrounded by automotive royalty – numbers-matching rarities that represent some of the most sought-after configurations in Mopar history.

But perhaps nothing captures the essence of this collection better than John's personal favorite – a 1971 Plymouth Cuda in Sublime Pearl green. This restomod masterpiece houses an all-aluminum 528 cubic inch Hemi V8 producing an earth-shaking 739 horsepower, channeled through a five-speed manual with the iconic pistol grip shifter. With its tubbed rear end accommodating massive 22-inch tires, it perfectly balances vintage character with modern performance.

The stories behind these vehicles prove just as fascinating as their specifications – like the ultra-rare 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner convertible recovered after spending 25 years underwater, or the 1966 Plymouth Belvedere with just 10,000 original miles that remains unrestored and numbers-matching. Each car represents not just engineering excellence, but a piece of American automotive heritage preserved for future generations.

Want to experience this automotive paradise yourself? The Hemi Hideout occasionally opens its doors to visitors, with admission fees going directly to charity and doubled through John's personal contribution. Come witness this extraordinary collection where passion, histo
