Hi everybody.
Stumbled in here today and im enjoying looking around.
Im a future owner of a B body.
I'll explain that.
Dad has been searching for several years for the right B body.
In my line of work i get into remote areas that most drive by.
Couple weeks ago i saw what i thought was a Polara, as i drove by the farm at 70mph in the dark and the snow.
I went back a week later to see it closer and found it to be a 66 Coronet with a Poly 318, buckets, console shift.
I asked the farmer if it was for sale, it was.
He had driven it to where it was now parked, put it up on blocks and forgot about it.
From what i found out is it was a farmers wifes car, 39292 original miles,
Parked in the winter of 1977.
Purchased by a gentleman yrs later, trailered to his place and parked.
Purchased by this farmer, got it running and drove it the 30 miles home.
Parked it, set it on blocks and 10 years later i come by.
Phoned Dad, conversation went "Dad, im looking at a 66 Coronet 500 2dr Hardtop, Interested?"
"I most certainly am, hows it look?"
"Straight, original, no real rust, runs (will run), complete."
"Holy crap, im stroking it."
"So the guy wants better than $3500."
"Go as high as $4000."
"Guy wants $4000, i offered $3750, It's yours."
Dad goes stupid from there on, getting as excited as a teen boy in the girls locker room.
Ok, so know this brings me here.
Im online, dad cant figure out this new computer thingy. Lol
Nice to make your aquaintence.
Im a Dodge man myself.
Big badass 79 Ramcharger 4x4 and a 42 Dodge truck im Rat rodding.
Im looking for items for Dad.
Intake is the biggest thing.
4bbl, 2x4bbl, six pack?
