My father special ordered this 66 Coronet 440 station wagon at Cherry Hill Dodge in NJ.

It featured a 383 and 4 speed trans and pretty much every high performance option and bench seat.

It was obviously customized with the brown textured paint and bright hugger orange paint, functional scoops, side pipes, javelin grill, corvette taillights with clear lenses for turn signal and single low/high headlights.

It was sold in the early 70's. Curious to know if it is still out there, somewhere, in any condition.

Found the original finance contract for the Coronet

I've lived in New Jersey all my life, 56 years now and have never seen a car that looked like your dads car. Any idea of the last known location, or where you were from when your dad owned the car?
