Nice find!! Is it a real 66 H code car. The pictures are great, but more info for those of us that want to know. Thanks for sharing.
That's a nice find.

Yes H code, silver, 30,000 miles, zero rust in floors-trunk, a little surface rust on all the edges where paint was thin. Dents are from the cows bumping it in the barn. Still has original exhaust pipes. Came with Nos grill (still in factory wooden box), headlight doors, tail lights, molding down the side with gas cap, emblems, bench seats, new seat covers, black interior, carpet, gas tank, radiator. Previous owner had collected parts for 20 years before he passed. I have a hemi, 4 speed (was going in the 64 Savoy) and Dana rear to put it back close. Found some little stuff at Carlisle but still need more. Once i get it out of the trailer I’ll take some inside pics. More to come
How about a hood ornament? They a witch to find a good one.
Repo inserts only. Buy a 318 ornament remove the insert. Ralph's Rapid Transit was selling repo inserts. Original in middle.
Nice find, great car . . . But rebuilding a 1967 Belvedere would count me as Biased . . But it can live with that . . .
6 cylinder cars look like that on both sides.

IIRC 273 cars just said "V8", you didn't get an actual displacement call out until 318.
It kind of surprises me that Plymouth was the "value" brand and had all these specialized one model only or one engine size only toolings and extra emblems everywhere.

Thanks, looked at it for two months before deciding to buy. My first glimpse of one was in high school in 66, a nurse was driving a red 2 door sedan Belvedere I? (426-auto) sitting at the curb across from the hospital, I missed home room drooling all over it, and said someday! 53 years later here I am, not a sedan but I can’t be choosy now.
