I don't know about the 66 convertible but he did buy a 67 hemi converted into a barbeque grill. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

What about the GT-E Cougar? Is it a Real Number's matching 427 car?

Re: charlie's new 66 hemi convertible...(pics?)
 

Yes the GTE is a real 427 car but I don't think it has it's orig. block. Was a two owner car. Pretty rare. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...0-img_8669.jpg

yeah, I really like that hemi convert. one of one. would look cool trying out different wheel options on it.
put a super stock hood on it to draw some extra attention.

Congrats Charley! Think there were only less than 20 of these made (is that right [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]) and there are 3 out in AZ and all 3 have been at the Pavillions at the same time. Beautiful lines - beastly power. Still had solid tappets in '67 [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Oh good god ... what happened to that poor charger?

Re: charlie's new 66 hemi convertible...(pics?)
 

I thought the story was it was just restored and I think the pictures were taken for the sale and the guy put it back in the building and later noticed smoke. Must have lit itself. Sad day.
Is it repairable and what did it bring?

Beautiful Mopar Charley, what color is the top? Ron....

Re: charlie's new 66 hemi convertible...(pics?)
 

Great purchase Charlie. This Cougar has to be the best buy of the week end. Didn't Barrett Jackson sell a twin to this in Scottsdale a couple of years ago for $125,000?

Have you taken the Cougar out for a spin yet? How's the power compared to a Chevy 427-425?

Re: charlie's new 66 hemi convertible...(pics?)
 

Those Cougars are rather mild compared to the L72. Not even sure it's a good challenger to a L36, although I believe the one tested in the magazines was non-limited slip.
