New (to me) B-Body Score.....

Recently purchased this 66 Dodge Coronet 440. It's an unrestored original with only 50 k miles on it. The car has a 318 Wideblock motor and 727 trans. This car is a real time-capsule showing very little use in the interior (see pics). Someone did
paint the engine (orange instead of red). I never owned a 318 and I was very surprised with the power when climbing theses Western Pa. hills on the way home ! The car still has it's original spare (735 x 14 WW), looks unused. I found the Broadcast
sheet this afternoon and I can't decode it. I have the little Red Book (by Sessler) but it doesn't have any 66 Coronet data inside. Does anyone know where I can find this information? On the Vin# the Plant is a digit (#1) in the 7th position, does anyone know what plant this is ? Also, the original AM radio plays just like when it was new ! Here are some pics......

Nice find. A two tone!

I can help with the broadcast sheet if you’d like.
 
Thanks Dave, glad that you liked the pics...(photography is not my strong suit)...

Here's my '67 Coronet R/T. I was "exercising" it that day. I don't want it to lay around and get fat!

I saw that during my search for a reasonably local 66/67.

IIRC it was also a pretty good price.

Poly red does fade to the orange side of the spectrum.

...and poly 318's seem to me to have a bit more torque than the LA version.
 
Cars this clean really need some stripes, a tall hood scoop and maybe a set of wheels like this:

REALLY nice Coronet!! I thought my original survivor looked excellent but yours is a step above!! I really need to change to those nice full wheel covers.
