Hi and good to meet you all!
not only i'm new but new to mopar and new to american vehicle! i've almost and mostly been european enthusiast but since i brought her home- i'm hooked!

i have 1966 Plymouth Belvedere I 225 slant six engine 3speed auto- all original and for being on east coast, very very good condition.
hope to chime in when needed but i'll mostly be in i-have-a-question-mode!

Thanks!

Yey! Welcome! I love the 4 doors!

They're super rare here in Sweden! I'm new to the b bodies too and new to old school cars but will chime in whenever I can!

thank you! this was exactly what i was looking for- big, long, crip lines, and a cruiser. only thing i've done to it is an oil change, top off brake fluid, and new tires (REALLY needed to..when's the last time you guys saw a re-tread tires??!). plans is to shake down and figure out where i need to tend to before i put it away for the winter in the next month or so- few things i noticed already are fluel float? or the sending unit isn't working well(guages on dash works but when full it only reads half tank), and i'll put in a temperature guage just to have something more accurate. new drums and brake shoes(bleed and replace things needed while in there), valve cover and oil pan gasket, and i'm getting a rattle at low rpms- i'm missing an exhaust header close to trans so i think i'll replace the rusty exhaust system next year with flowmaster 40!
Oh, and the single stage paint is oxidizing and needs some tlc, but it's got this great patina i really like!

if there are things i should look out for or good to have in mind, your comments would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome! I have a 66 Satellite in the dark blue. Wish my steering wheel and dash looked as good as yours.
