"This is a cool old school simple badass muscle car. The owner had a numbers matching Plymouth 426 Hemi Belvedere GTX and wanted more power. So rather than swapping the motor he had the guys at Vintage Motorworks build it into a loud obnoxious badass street cruiser. This is Mopar in all its glory.
Sit back and enjoy the ride..."

My first car - my uncle gave it to me
My Grandma’s last car was a ‘66 Chrysler New Yorker with a 440. A family of 4 could live in the back seat.
It was given to my sister in ‘78 - it had only 40,000 miles on it. My sister totaled it 2 months later, wrapped it around a telephone pole.
Nice!
Parts of it are MOPAR. And Chevy, and Ford, and VW, and Ferrari. Just kidding on the last 2.
Love that shade of blue.
NEVER. The 67 was the one I bought and had edges and that great roofline. 68 and later they tried to copy GM for some ungodly reason. By the early 70s they went full street yacht. Not the midsize muscle car as it was intended
I had the 61 4 door dodge lancer. 170 cu in Of raw enimia. I loved it because it was my first car. It was dad’s car and I got my license in 65. I kind of reverted to me.
Good advice, because in a few years, cars like that will be outlawed to save the planet.
What a fond memory that is!
I grew up as a mechanic in Detroit. Voc school inHS. Kinda inmy blood. And that’s my car!!! Lol same paint, everything!!!
I would be perfectly happy with a late ‘60s Imperial as well. I’m not a huge fan of the look of the ones with the hidden headlights.
The best car I ever owned was a 1968 Dodge Dart, slant-6.
I recognized it from Car 54 Where Are You
Re: Green Hornet car/Chrysler Imperial
Thanks, but in the back of my mind I remembered reading about it or seeing it on some car show on tv.
I love when the Accountant sighs when he finds out it’s the 440 and not the Hemi
That’s what’s known on YouTube movie trivia as “The Question”....lol
It’s a silly movie but William Fichtner is worth the watch
Oh my... My very first car (that was ‘mine’) was a ‘66 Belvedere. But, it didn’t look ANYTHING like that. It was decidedly NOT a cool car.
I drove it a year or two, around 1975. The front side passenger floor board had rusted through. I covered the holes with carpet samples. :-)
I changed just about everything on that car: plugs, brakes, radio, carpet, lights. Then one day, about a 100 yards from my house, the engine block cracked. I celebrated.
Because I was a good sport, driving that clunker, my Dad bought me a cherry red 1969 Cougar with a smoking 302 engine as a replacement. I loved that car.

Lol!
Shame, not even 10 years old and the engine went and already so badly rusted. These are some of many things NOT so great about these old American classics.
