He's got a point there, especially isnce the guy's single!

I would steal it. and give it to someone who would restore it.

Cool car! I remember back around 2001/2002 there was an original 1966 Dodge Coronet 426/auto driver quality car for sale by a dealer. It was pale yellow exterior/black top and interior for $24000.00

Boy did I wish I had the money for that one.

I don't think a driver, 2 door post, 66 hemi car is worth much more than $24k right now.

I own a 66 Hemi Coronet. I know what they bring.

Sheldon

Sheldon, all due respect, I'd consider a 66 Coronet 2 door sedan 4 speed car a bit more desirable/valuable than a 66 Coronet hardtop, not miles appart, but there's a gap.

Nick,

Well it goes beyond the rarity factor, I think they just take the basic "Grandma car with a huge engine" to the extreme, ugly, crude, and fast! The hard tops are sexier looking (if you can even call a 66-67 B-body "sexy"?) but they are heavier and not as rigid as a sedan.

Personally I'd prefer a 66-67 Sedan over a hard top (Dodge or Plymouth) but my opinion aside, I have owned and sold a fair number of each, the sedans have always garnered more interest, sold the fastest, and brought the best money. I've also followed the sales of both for a good many years because I like 66-67 B-body cars allot, based on my observations what I experienced seems to be the "norm". Your opinions (and selling results) may vary.

I dont agree that a sedan is worth more but for sure a 4 -speed car is worth a ton more,maybe the difference between being able to sell or not.

I agree the 4 speeds are more popular. Which is strange because they have a terrible shifter in them compared to 69 and later.

Sheldon

Although I'd say Sheldon's price is on the low side, I'd say its much more realistic than alot of whats out there advertised. When you consider that when the market was up a very nice '66 Hemi B body was only worth around 50 to 60 K (im going by what I saw cars sell for, not that im an expert but this is what I saw) and then consider where the economy is now, 24K isnt crazy.

I think the Coupe vs Hardtop debate really depends on your era of thinking. 30 years ago when Hemi cars were around on the street if the average guy went to go look at a pillared coupe he would go "Ewwwww!" They dont look as attractive compared to a sedan. To top it off its a '66 Dodge, which I think is the least desirable because compared to a '67 Dodge or Plymouth, and the much more attractive '66 Plymouth, its ugly. I like them, I think they're cleanly styled, but out of '66 and '67 B bodies, I think most people would agree with me that a '66 Dodge is the least attractive because of the way it looks from the front (I love all '66 and '67s though).

So, if you think rarer, more race oriented, no frills, and sturdier construction is better you'd want the coupe. If you prefer looks over function then you'd want the sedan. To me the value is about the same, but im not the buyer so my opinion is out.

I saw Sheldon's car up for sale when the market was still solid and I thought it was a really clean car for a great price, but it didn't sell as far as I know. I know it was the cheapest, non project Hemi car for sale and that there were A12, V Code, and other Hemi cars that were complete projects for sale for more. You probably couldn't have even cloned a Hemi car for what he was asking.

This is an awesome find though. As the adage goes a car is worth what someone will pay for it. Whatever the buyer paid he thought was a good price, so he got his money's worth. If hes going to drive it around unrestored that would be tops. Nothing is cooler than a real deal Hemi car with battle scars.

This has been a very helpful thread!!!

Yes it has!

Thanks to 1 Wild RT another WL21H 1966 Hemi Coronet that I have known about for over 25 years (the one on the rotisserie pics posted earlier on this thread) will be reunited with it's original Broadcast Sheet!
