We picked up this little '66 from sunny California from it's long time owner. Take a look at the floors on this one still wearing their original red oxide paint. It still wears it's original California Black Plates. It has had what appears to be a single repaint back in the 1900's as well as an interior refresh with new seat upholstery at the same time. 

Option wise, this one is pretty hard to beat. With Power Brakes, Power Steering, Air Conditioning and the 2-Way Rear Gate it really was optioned well. All these systems still work with the exception of the A/C which will need to be serviced. 

​

The body is quite solid, especially for the breed. The only real corrosion visible is on the rear gate, see pics. The floors still wear their original red oxide paint and it looks quite nice. The car is wearing a coat of metallic gold that really compliments the car. The panels are straight and there is nothing to suggest the car has been in any serious collisions. The trim and bright work show some age but overall are in good condition. It appears that during the repaint there was some silicone paint around the windshield peak that was painted over, see pics. This one would make a good no-guilt driver or with a repaint could be something much more. 

​

Inside the interior is mostly original with the exception of the seat upholstery which has been recovered in a velour material. Original floormats cover the original carpet. The door panels are the originals and still look pretty good. The rear interior panels were recovered in a matching vinyl. The original dash pad is cracked and has been treated to a new dash cap. The original seat belts are still in great shape, which is quite rare as they tend to corrode profusely. The windows roll up & down properly including the rear gate glass which is electric.

​

Under the hood the 289 fires up quickly and really sounds nice. It has been treated to a fresh oil & filter service. The C4 automatic transmission works properly. We didn't receive any service documents with this one unfortunately. From what we can see it appears the cylinder heads were removed at some point indicating a possible valve job or hardened seats for unleaded fuel were added. The 289 powers the wagon around fine but it's not going to be confused with its Muscle Car 390GT brethren. There are plenty of period modifications that could be done to really wake this one up though.

​

The Air Conditioning system appears complete but has dis-charged over the years it sat in storage. There are new products that replace the R12 refrigerant like Arctic Air that are readily available or you could make the full switch with a modern pump and 134. 

 

The original steel wheels looked horrible so we replaced them with a set of period correct 15" Styled Steel Wheels wrapped in Cooper Cobra tires, 235 in the front & 255 60's in the rear. They fit perfectly too!

 

If you have friends, or heck, even a family...this is the perfect ride. No need to hold the seat forward and look at your buddies butt while he gets in the back seat. It's a lot easier to get the little ones in their seats if that's the case too. If the need ever arises...and we aren't condoning anything...there is even a handy smugglers chest in back that will stay hidden from just about everyone under the age of 55.
