I have seen one Hemi Wagon (Correct VIN).....but never a 66 B Body anything with a 440. Anyone else ever seen one?

[Paul Ceasrine]

GTX John,

I believe the 1966 Dodge (only) was available with a 440, in
the large body cars (Polara and Monaco) and 'Special Fleet Order' Police Pursuit Vehicles.

From the little information that I have found, the original owner of these
cars was a Chrysler-Plymouth Fleet Order Regional manager, who handled New York State fleet orders.

Paul,

I found a '66 Chrysler in a junk yard in Alabama that had a 440 in it that was obviously a factory car.
