It's a Simca 1000 (GL&GLS). Built from 1962-1978 but only imported by Chrysler till 1972. You could get it in a two door ( rare) but 90% were four door. The ralley type are still being raced over seas today. Oh by the way I own a 1966 GLS 1000 4-door when it runs it sounds like a golf cart(52hp) and top speed is 76 mph.

My Dad was a stylist at Chrysler. We had several through the exec lease program. Including a Bertone bodied 2 door. The last one was a 71 which was the 1st car I wrecked after getting my license.

Bob my 66 simca does have the penstar on the right fender and on the iner fender next to the vin it does say chrysler of france.Chrysler quit importing them in 1972 and replaced them with the colt-cricket as their cheap small car. From 1970-1972 the colt and simca was sold side by side but the colt won out because it was more reliable then the simca. The simca was chrysler's basterd car that didn't get as much press as the colt, that is why more people know what a colt is then what is a simca. I'm the second owner of a 1966 Simca GLS1000 (the fast one) for 8years and nothing has been touched, it has been setting in the back of my garage since I bought it in 2005. Some day I will get to it and I wish I knew how to post pics. of the car.

The jest of the whole thing was what "official factory built rear engine mopar" was a misleading statement.It was a great mind inspiring quest and started a lot of people thinking and researching but turns out to be a car imported by Chrysler that was not produced under Chrysler's ownership until the 70s.Even in the 70s Rootes maintained a 20% ownership.The op should have stated what rear engine car was sold by Chrysler in 1966? the official factory built/by mopar promped a lot of confusion.When we first read the post I was in the company of one of our team who worked at and owned a Chrysler dealership in New York.He said the only car like that was the Simca and I dismissed it as we agreed it was not built by Chrysler but imported for the domestic market especially in 1966.It was not untill the 70s that Chrysler bought the majority shares and gained control of the mfg of Simca.Confusing,but fun.  
It did get people thinking outside the Mopar box and into the other items that Mopar has built and delt in over the years. What else has Mopar done? Boats, snowmobiles, mixers/blenders? We need some pictures!

Chrysler Marine Division at Battle Creek Mi.made a host or weird stuff and were responsibe for rebuilding HP engines that went bad when tested before installing in cars.
Larry,we can always count on you to come up with something "strange".My little mind has enough confusing going on in it at my age.

'69 15ft Charger with '70 105 HP Chrysler OB
My father bought it new/used (long story) and then I bought it from him. Lost intrest/Time in going to the lake so instead of letting it sit here and rot, off it went!
I did love that boat...kind of a sleeper

I had an Hillman Imp, i cut the roof off, lowered the doors and welded them up, fitted a roll bar, painted it military green with the white US stars, fitted larger wheels and tyres and had a soft top roof made for it. It looked very much like a mini moke. I drove it for over a year, great summer car, although they were know for blowing head gaskets, i never had a problem with mine. Mick Here's another english chrysler, can you guess where the idea for this came from. http://nortonsafe.search.ask.com/picdeta...w=128&th=44
