I am supposed to go look at a 66 or 67 Belvedere 2dr hardtop driver tonight. Supposedly a number matching low milage original, Word of mouth thing from a car rookie(But You KNOW how that works), So I do not even know what year it is for sure. But it is a 66 or 67. What I do know is the following- 318/auto 500's on the car w new rubber Factory Buckets and console No AC Pwr steering I have seen the car from a distance and it looked pretty decent a couple years ago, But I know VERY little about these cars and have a few??? For instance- Is that 318 a poly? What swaps bolt in w no serious modifications,like cutting anything on the chassis/body/Fwells? 360? I expect to upgrade the ign. to electronic so wiring is a non issue. What trans/RE models should I expect to find in it? Headers? IF I buy this thing. I want to mildly restify it. Update/upgrade, but not modify or change its original look to the point that it can not be turned back. I'm not new to rods and muscle just these cars. It has been a LONG time since I did any Mopar stuff (340 Duster in 1975 and a 440 Polara 500 in 1999) so am a rookie at what fits what.

Thank guys, What are the odds it has a 8 3/4 in it? I know the Hemi cars had Dana's. But I am sure one of these do not. The 360 should use the original 360 flex plate to hook up the converter,not? Or is special order one is necessary? Actually slighly modifying the orignal 318(IF it is a LA motor)is probably all I would need. I am not going racing. If it is a poly I'll probably just look for a 4 bbl intake and put on dual exaust and call it good. If the the car looks and runs near as good as it did a few years ago(I saw it as at a show)its going to be mine. The price is right.
The 360 will be a cast crank and require weld on weights to the converter. good luck finding a 4bbl intake for that 318 poly. Just do the duals and call it a day.

Woodgrain steering wheel, console, solid interior, all trim in good shape, bumpers in good shape, stock and unmolested mid 60's V8 high-optioned B-Body...... I don't know what you expect to find in the $4000 range, but I'd say its at the very least, a fair asking price. If it runs good and had solid paint, I'd expect to see an asking price approaching 10 grand.

Boy, I don't know. One problem with the '66-'67's is that rust above the rear wheel opening and in the lower quarter is very common. The last I knew there is NO repop metal available for those areas. Secondly they just do not have the draw of the '68-up B-body Mopars. For these two years you have to just like them because they cost a ton of money to fix that you will never get back. For 10K it would have to be rust free, excellent paint, all good glass and chrome, run well, and have a reasonable interior.
