1966 hemi satellite

"It spent time in Ohio and Kentucky before spending over 20 years outdoors in a Colorado collection."

Translation: it sat out in the wood rotting into the ground.


Notice that the strut rods are bent & there are no nuts on the lower control arms. Any car in this shape needs at least 75 grand put into it.

They're a great place to hook the wrecker chain on to when yanking something out of the mud!

Agreed, but there are no scrapes on the strut rods. Seeing as they are both bent in the middle, my guess is that the hooked the chains onto the lower control arms and had to pull it real hard to get it out of the rut it was in.

No sway bar, no sway bar link brackets on lower control arms. If I had to guess, the guy had the engine out and stored separately, kmember out or disassembled and whomever bought this hoard slapped it back together to get the most money out of it. By the looks of it they don't know much about Mopars. Jmho.

Yup they put humpty back together for the big sale!

I think there may be a hole in the front of the deepened oil pan too. Looks like a waste of good engine paint to me.

Not exactly the best angle to show your swaybar delete lol, but does that have 10" brakes as well?

Thank you for the correction.
Ok, so at what point in production did the sway bar come on the Hemi cars? Anyone know?

Interesting question. My 66 Hemi Belvedere II, which is a lesser model than a Satellite, has a front sway bar.

Build date?

 

[Fran Blacker]

One way to get an idea when sway bars were put on 66 Hemi cars is scheduled production date on fender tag. Maybe include 361 cars? If anyone want post SPD and engine and yes or no whether they have a sway bar. My car 3/8/66 Hemi has a sway bar.

I agree, I thought all hemis got all the HD stuff.
Maybe they took it off as a drag car

Would be interesting to know if there are mounts for sway bar linkage on lower control arms. If mounts are on LCA's sway bar probably removed.

 

[AR67GTX]

I believe all Hemis had sway bars and if missing it was probably a quarter mile track thing For weight transfer. The 426 wedges had sway bars 64/65 and it seems logical they would have stuck with that with the Hemi. Maybe we‘ll learn something new - it is odd that two HP2 cars missing them.

 

[slimt]

Were HP2 cars for export only?

 

[Ceedawg]

Mine is a 1/66 date, Belvedere II 4 speed dana has the sway bar, but not a HP2, say 426 Hemi on front fender. Not sure that helps
Might add, the brackets seem different than later models

rare or not Hemi or not
Money pit

cool concept, but not a great buy
