IMO a concours resto is the wrong approach on this one, as some of you have said. I would graft in some patch panels, paint it, and clean the rest of it up. I think you could get everything done and avoid going into the red.

Weren't the '66 Hemi still solid lifters back then? i can hear that beast now.:drool:

I remember my friends 68 Coronet R/T and my 69 Super Bee 440/6 pak, those starters whining and at idle sounded like a coffee can full of rocks! This would be a good one to clean up,make mechanically sound, bolt on some 4.10's and slicks and go have some fun!

Solid lifters from 66 to 69. Hydraulic in 70 and 71.

JeezeLouise.....I WANT that in the worst way!!!!!!:burnout: Out of the 66-67 styles, I like the Plymouths better than the Dodges. That right there should be in my shop. Problem is...no shop to have it in right now.:frown: I bet firing up that elephant through those squished headers would sound like a overweight flute player!

Cheers
Dave

Growing up there has been a prostreet barracuda that was always at the local car shows and across the top of the radiator support it said Don’t fondle the elephant!

----Had two Hemi Satellites over the years and loved them both. They were great for cruising with buds as they had a huge interior. Tall front seat guys never even had to move the seats forward.......Bill S

Dave, from the looks of it I don't think it would hurt it to sit outside for a while. You could get your shop built and then work on this thing.

True.... true. I do know a little about this car since I'm in negotiations for another car and this is very similar to what I'm negotiating the negotiations on the other car for...er.... something like that.:hmmm:

Its owned right now by a flipper. No big deal, but he's a tad off on the asking price right now. I really dig it though. Mechanical resto and drive it!

Cheers
Dave
