It’s that time of year again. You know, when we dash out to get our loved ones a holiday gift at the last minute. For this year, we have something that’ll keep on giving long after the holidays are over. If you’re looking for something that’ll deliver many smiles and fits of mad laughter while your backside is firmly planted in the front seat as your ride goes skating down the road blazing the tires, the folks at Direct Connection have you covered with their “Happy HEMI® Holiday Sales Event” promotion. With many Crate HEMI engine displacements and horsepower levels to choose from, Direct Connection has a Crate HEMI engine for just about any occasion. And while a Direct Connection Crate HEMI engine may not fit into that stocking hanging on the fireplace mantel, it’ll plug into just about any old-school vintage car or truck. Since we’re in a giving mood this holiday Season, Direct Connection is offering up to a $1,000 rebate in the form of a VISA gift card or credit off the purchase of your Direct Connection Crate HEMI engine.
Here’s how it works: Contact a participating Dodge Power Brokers dealership about the Happy HEMI Holiday Direct Connection Crate Engine offers, or give the DC Tech hotline a call at 800-998-1110 and they’ll direct you to the nearest participating Dodge Power Brokers dealer. When purchasing your Crate HEMI engine, you can then select your choice of either a VISA card or credit off your purchase. If you choose the VISA gift card, it will be sent 7 business days after your crate engine purchase. The crate engine discount opportunity is only available from 10/31/2023 through 12/31/2023, so hurry while supplies last!
So, to help make your mind up, here’s a handy Direct Connection Crate HEMI Buyers Guide that not only lists the rebate amount, but also the specs that’ll influence what’ll motivate your resto-mod, vintage truck or just about whatever you’re building.
