1966 Petty Blue Belvidere II

[DeltaV]

Hey guys, I stumbled across this thread while researching Petty Blue Belvederes a while back and finally decided to join the conversation. I have one of the few known to exist 1966 Petty Blue Belvedere II's with the 999 Paint code. My grandpa bought it new in 66 and and we have restored it over the past few years.

Originally bought by your grandpa is excellent provenance if the car has been in the family the entire time. Maybe there is purchase/dealership paperwork and old pictures to further add to the provenance?

Nice 66 Belvedere in Petty Blue

Hey guys, I stumbled across this thread while researching Petty Blue Belvederes a while back and finally decided to join the conversation.

Absolutely, that is one of the things I've read when it comes to the 999 code. I wonder if there's any way to prove that it was originally petty blue? I have a feeling getting in touch with someone at Chrysler and them actually being able to dig that deep would be a long shot.

I can't help with how many there were orginally #'s
But;
maybe go to the Welcome wagon forum section here
Start it out right
Introduce yourself
maybe share a few more detailed photos
& a lil' more background etc.
get to know each other a lil' before you jump right in, to the mix

Happy MoParing

When you have a 999 paint code car you here more negative stories than positive. Ask me how I know. To fake one you would have to go through a lot of trouble. And there wasn’t a lot of paint put on these cars to begin with as you can see in my picture.

If you read the fender tag upside down, it says 666.

Hell I didn’t think about that. Restoring it at some times I thought it could have been marked by the devil. Lol

You should sell it. To me.

You can tell most fakes when you see them. Headlight doors should be matte black and the Plymouth decal is not on th quarter panel and the paint in the door jamb looks poorly applied. And no decal on the wing Lol

It’s a real super bird but not a Petty Blue one.
