New to this forum, '66 Coronet 2dr ht 2nd owner

[Wrench66]

Hi All,
Just found this site a few days ago and was told to come on over to the welcome wagon
I have owned a '66 Coronet 440 2dr ht since Oct'84, 2nd owner, I knew the first owner well and chased this car a few years trying to purchase it from him until he finally gave in. It's originally a 361 2bbl auto with AC... purchased new from Jerry Dragon Dodge in Ontario Calif April '66. It's been sitting garaged since it developed a knock in Feb '90...been a while. I was told the steering wheel is actually a Charger item (I've never seen another Coronet with one)...the car is 99% orig with the exception of the black roof (orig was a white vinyl).
I have plans to bring it back out and put it back to work this coming spring....gathering parts to built a nice stock looking 383 until then.
Here are some pics (my wedding day May '89 is one), first pic is my wife and I dating a week after I bought the car 41yrs ago... we just celebrated 36yrs and are looking to take the car back to our honeymoon spot next May.

Happy to be here,
-- Ray
