Moparts Unlimited of Arizona, a local crowd of Chrysler Corporation collectors dedicated to strutting their Pentastar stuff all around the Grand Canyon State, held its 39th annual H.E.M.I. Show on Saturday, March 15, 2025.
Sponsored by AutoNation Chrysler Dodge Jeep and Ram North Phoenix, the H.E.M.I. Show’s name may get you wondering what the acronym stands for. Glad you asked! High Energy Mopar Invitational is the answer—now you can move on with your life. For your intrepid reporter, though, he moved around the parking lot scoping out 250 or so automotive treasures from the Highland Park, Michigan company.
And if you’re not in-the-know in the Mopar world, then you may not be aware that the Blake Family are residents of Phoenix. Who are the Blakes? The smartest people in America—folks who snapped up Hemi ragtops when they were somewhat affordable. Today, they have several examples of the Big Kahuna of muscle cars that include at least one 1970 Plymouth Hemi‘Cuda convertible, 1970 Dodge Hemi Challenger R/T convertible, and 1971 Plymouth Hemi’Cuda convertible. Two of ‘em showed up at the H.E.M.I. Show. Imagine a local car show with the Holy Grail appearing twice!
Of course, Mopars Unlimited of Arizona is more than just Mopar muscle. Glance at the image gallery below to find more from Chrysler’s proud automotive history.
