1966 Hemi Coronet Custom Deluxe

[Steve Stasko]

I am very slowly building a base sedan for either DA or EA. I'll get it done eventually.

Mine was supposed to be an executive lease car in Cleveland, but it is a very late build (July, 1966). As I was told by the original owner (a Dodge dealer in Eastern Ohio), the car sat in Cleveland for a few weeks and no one touched it. Presumably because the '67's were coming out and no one wanted the base model from the year before. He bought it at the Dodge Dealer's auction with 11 miles on it, and gave it to his wife to drive for a month to season the block. After that he put a 4-speed in the car along with a 4.56 Dana, and it has been a race car ever since.

Paint was done around 1974-75. Car was last raced in Formula Stock around 1980-81, therefore the snorkel scoop.

May just have your brother car. This is a brown Custom Deluxe 4 speed car, not ordered according to fender tag. Build date was July 18. Check first three numbers of bottom row fender tag ie 718. How close to yours?

Hopefully this thread will reveal its ownership history. I am the third owner of the green car earlier in this thread and correspond regularly with owner 1 & 2. Will post a pic of owner 1 with a buck deer tied to the trunk. Si and Phil can't top that!!! Stephen

You didn't happen to buy the car out of New Castle, PA did you? If so, that's a shame, because that car was literally unmolested before Joe and Vic got their hands on it.

I don't have the fender tag for mine. Previous owner removed it and the family is keeping an eye out for it as they clean the garage out. I'm going off of the word of the original owner, who was a Dodge dealer. If you would like to talk, Frito has my number.

That's it and we gave it a good going over. Seems all for sale have been restored. This one was not. They had the motor professionally done and we checked with the engine builder. Just a lot of spray on oil on the underside and engine room. Darn sure not going to rust. Thanks for your call on it. Will post a pic in a few days of the two benchmarks.
