1966 Coronet 500 Hemi Survivor
 
This car has lead a pampered life. Just an amazing survivor, and not no road warrior with racing history.

----What a car! I have always liked the vinyl pleats seat pattern on this model as well as the Charger. Very classy. I may have missed it in the story line but it's hard to believe that the engine hasn't been fluffed, but so what,,,still very, very cool......Bill S

That's a 1967 Coronet R/T hood

I'm guessing some owner drilled the hood and installed the louvers that became available in 67. How many 67 Camaros have spoilers added.


I am no Mopar expert but that engine has been restored and very incorrectly. Hopefully our Mopar member can shed some light. the car still may be very original, just not under the hood...

----Just read the story in the mag and the original owner purchased the Coronet louver thingy and attached it to his 66 hood.
----And at least the short-block is not original so I can understand the clean-up of the engine compartment.....Bill S

Yeah . . . must have been Hot Rod's "loose" definition of the car:

IMO - when you stick louvers from a 67 on your 66 hood - that sort of negates "all original."
