There is a very good chance I will land a '66 Belvie project this summer from a friend of mine, and I'm already thinking about colors, wheels, etc. So, to get some ideas, if anyone here has one, I would love to see it. Thanks.
 
I have one but its a shed sled for now until I collect MOparts. I have been collecting for a while now one day I will have enough to get it where I want it.

Started with this

The day I got it home and stripped parts from a basket case.

I got a 1966 383 block but it has a frost crack across freeze plugs. Then I worked a deal with @Jerry Hall and now have a 67 383 and trans to throw in the car. As many here know I built a 440 for this car but lost my job and had to sell it.. Im just getting back up on my feet and started collecting parts again.

I have a blue one. It was a former drag car that had a stout 440,a torqueflight and a Dana 60 with 4.10 gears! It ran mid 11s so I was told. I am putting it back to a small block, and making a nice driver out of it, as I bought it with the drivetrain.
 
Mine is a Satellite and the previous owner put hood scoops on it to replicate a 67 GTX. I painted the grille black as I felt it looked too bland with the Citron Gold body color and chrome grille.

I’ve never been a fan of Forest/Hunter Green but, this car’s lines look great in the Darker Green.



Edit: Pic’s title says Belvedere but, it’s a ‘66 Satellite. Sorry!
 
I have 2 67's

What color was it originally?

Start there.
 
I'm digging Ceedawgs car. I really like the belt line moldings. Gives these cars a cool look.

I always liked that dark green

lmk if you need misc parts for your 383.
its one of my fav motors and i have an assortment of stuff.
its mostly used stuff,so dirt cheap if you need it.
( including a dual four tunnel ram/Weiand )
 
Mine is a 67 but I'm noticing that 2 door sedans are scarce.

I know they made them In 66 but I've never seen one in person and my 67 is the only 67 I've ever come across. They must not have made very many
