Ok, so I have this 66 Coronet 500, 383/4sp console car. NO motor, SOLID car..
???? Do I sell it back to my friend and buy a 66 Coronet 440, 383/4sp BENCH SEAT, RUNNING, DRIVING, magnum 500 rims for $6500.00

WHAT DO I DO ?????????

 

[moparstuart]

if you can get a nice driver and its solid for that price I would go for it

[HEMIHUNTER]

Boy, That's What I Was Thinking!

 

[HEMIHUNTER]

The vin on the 440 car is WH23F61287457 can anyone tell me the engine size...DUH

 

[HEMIHUNTER]

never mind my stupidity..F=361

What are the differences between the 440 & 500 models and which car will be worth more if I loose my job and need to eat.. neither has the orig. motor but the 500 is a REAL BIG BLOCK 4sp

Depend what you want, how much you have to dump into it.

For me, I wanted to be cruising ASAP on a limited budget, so I brought something that was missing the engine only. Then brought the engine and most of the parts needed to finish and then ran out of cash! lol

My point is, if your tight on cash and want to drive the car this year / early next year, buy the runner and slowly clean it up into what you want. If your prepared to slowly work on a project keep the 500.

Thats my thoughts. If it was me, depending on my budget, I'd buy the runner and enjoy it while I brought bits and pieces to turn it into exactly what I wanted. I've done too many projects and am sick of having cars in pieces that I can't enjoy.

Ok, I should clarify, we have a 71 barracuda vert, #s 318/904, sub-lime, sure-grip 323 that we drive the **** out of whenever there isn't a chance of rain...un hooked the wipers to make sure we wont be tempted..

We want a BAD *** big block 4sp... BUT if we need to sell something it wont be that green car SO we need to buy something that will have "salability" if we need to make a quick sale

Didn't the 500's ONLY come with 383's or HEMI's no other motor option?

 

[HEMIHUNTER]

Our vert

The market is really soft on the 66 cars!Wouldn't be much difference in value,only if someone wanted a bucket seat car!The 500 has a little more value.So it is really you decision on which one you desire! BTW the 500 is a low production number,I have one also there were only 373 built with the 361BB and 4spd.

Jesus H Chrysler.... I'm confused..

The White 500 is a 383/4sp NO motor sits (but)

The Red 440 orig 361/4sp... NOW it has a 383 runs, drives, stops

What will it take to get yours running and reliable in dollars? what is is worth as it sits? What about registration?

What does the red car need? registration, tune up, tires brakes looked at?

Write down what each needs with an estimated dollar value and see which is the better deal.

A running and driving car will sale much faster than a project car if you did have to sell it.

Personally i would sale the white 500 back and get the Baracuda on the passanger side of your car. I love that body style

 

[HEMIHUNTER]

LOL... I just gave this to my wife for her birthday 68 340/727, console......

NEEDS right front fender and paint

 

[YY1]

...and the 500 VIN is WP23G...?

500 trim is worth more.

factory 383 is worth more.
(all 383 engines in 1966 B body cars were 4 bbls)

Any date correct 383 is "the original" engine

361-2bbl 4 speed is more of an anomaly, and is interesting and apparently more rare, but the 500 trim 383 car will be and is worth more, with the immediate extenuating circumstance that the 361 car is running and driving.

Both cars look really clean.

SWEET!!
