My birthday car 66 Belvy II

[Tommy Kelley]

This is the car that brought me home from the hospital in Johnspn City Tn Jan 1969. She was always known by my brothers and sisters as "The Belvedere". Severly wrecked in 1995 and I towed it to my home after Dad passed away in 2011. I have somewhat managed to replace the front end and correct 383 Commando radiator but a long way to go. Funny part is that Dad said for just a few hundred dollars more, he could have gotten the Hemi! I call her Belvy. This was her last pic with Dad before the wreck.

Welcome I have a 66 Satellite. A few hundred in 66 was a princely sum. The few hundred was really $906 for the Hemi!
