Well here is the '66 we let get away from us....
I happen to be downtown and caught the pic from a car show cruise....

This was a car that my brother officially owned.... alot of fun..
When he recieved the car for his 16th b-day it was needing quite a bit of help, but was still driveable. The original Poly blew up so we stabbed in a mean HP 440 we had. The thing moved like a raped ape after that work. Anyways car got paint and interior etc.. and eventually got sold to the gentleman driving it in the pic.... wish it was still in the garage... but oh well... cant keep them all !

So hunt him down, and "convince" him to sell it back to you

Hunting him down wouldnt be hard I see the dang car everywhere. I think though he is pretty much wanting to keep it. He worked the motor and trans over some more from what I heard and is working on other stuff with it.

we also had the car set up with disc brakes off a '75 and upgraded to the 15" wheel. Boy that helped the ol' barge out quite a bit.

Glad someone is enjoying it though !

Early on in the cars life it suffered a roll over ! Looks pretty dang good now !

If we could only Know Then what we know now, we would All have garages Full of cars.I have gotten rid of some cars and trucks that I wish I had back for sure.
I had a Beautiful 64 Chevy Impala SS Drop Top many years ago( I know it's not a Mopar but a Sweet car none the less). The only reason I wish I had it back is because the Kid I sold it too, Totaled it in less then a week after buying it.

It is a nice car, I too wish I had many of my old rides back, but I don't see too many of them, so I'm not tempted too much, if I saw them all over I would probably be tempted to buy some back...LOL.. That is if I actually had any money...
