Wow! That looks great for being in the woods! Maybe it wasn't in there that long?
Around here it would have come out in 2 or 3 pieces...
My vote is to get it running/roadworthy and drive as is!
x2
That would be a cool daily driver - beat up trim and all!

It's a complete car... sell it and let someone else restore it. I wouldn't rob parts off it because what you need is out there. You just haven't found the right source. FYI. There are a lot of '66-'67 B-bodies in Texas boneyards. I wouldn't mind having it but don't need anymore cars. You could always get it running and drive it as a survivor. Recover the seats first. '66 383 B-bodies were the roadrunners of their day

Sell it! One of my favorite cars. If you can't/don't want to keep it, that car would make someone happy. If it was a 500 you would probably have 20 offers, if you don't already.

That thing is a great candidate for a resto!
BUT - if you decide to part it out, PLEASE PM me, we are restoring a '66 Coronet 440 right now and could use some of that trim.
Thanks and good luck!

DO NOT PART THAT CAR!!!!
Sorry for the all-caps yelling, but geez...I've wanted a '66-'67 Coronet since I was a little kid and never been able to make it happen, and the thought of a clean, straight 383-4bbl getting parted makes me crazy.
If I had a place to put it (and could justify the expenditure) I'd PM you about buying it.

The only thing I see bad is the driveshaft looks to short, look how far out the yoke is from the tailshaft. lol
Probably the rubber on the old style trans seal has rotted off making it look as if the drive shaft is short.

clean it up get it running and sell it...looks real solid for sitting on its rails. or did it just have flat tires as those wheels dont look like they were sunk in to deep
