Plymouth Belvedere 440 V8 1966
General description :
1966 Plymouth Belvedere 2 MOPAR LOVERS…HERE IS ONE FOR YOU! This is a rare ’66 Belvedere 2/Satellite with a big block 440. It is super sound mechanically from top to bottom but does need attention to the body. The car is powered by a 440ci 4bbl V-8 with a 3-speed automatic transmission and stock rear-end. A lot of attention was paid to the engine getting it rebuilt, some chrome added and the bay cleaned up very neatly. It runs and drives excellent and the drive train has been rebuilt and completely gone through. It has an excellent dual exhaust system and sits on factory 15″ wheels with trim rings and like-new BF Goodrich radial tires. It also has power steering and plenty of stopping power with power assist brakes. The interior is in very good condition with bucket seats, console, original AM radio, aftermarket gauges and a tachometer. The headliner, rear shelf and trunk are all in great condition and would not take much to be perfect. The exterior is where the bulk of the work lies. The previous owner’s health began to decline as he came down the home stretch in doing the body work and it was not finished properly. The car is solid and there is no rust but was not prepped properly including filling some dents in on the vehicle with mud. Long story short, the exterior needs stripped to bare metal, repaired properly and then primed/painted. We could assist in getting this work done or you can do it yourself through your preferred shop. All in all, this is a very solid, 75% complete project car that needs some TLC. This is your chance to own a rare car for half of it’s value when finished at only $14,900.00! The car is being listed for a collector in the Seattle, Washington area.
