Looks very nice - $90K seems strong to me for that era, but then again, I don't think desirable #s cars are depreciating. Yea, seams strong for an '66 hemi auto that's not black or red. Detailed undercarriage? Not bad color combo, just strong money needs the most desirable color combo.

I know of a Dark Blue with blue inter car 1966 Coronet 500 , Im told sold earlier this year for upper $70s
So IMO this may be priced near the top but I think its achievable, just needs the right buyer
IMO the only real drawback is the auto ( BUT thats a Plus to me ) And maybe some detailing underhood .
No idea how it looks underneath. these are the only pics posted in the listing
Ive turned down more than this for mine on more than one occasion. But mine is a Plymouth and its Blk

I would have to put disc brakes on it. Everything else looks great though. My 66 was converted to a dual system, but still drum brakes. Having driven a converted B body with manual disc brakes. I cant say one stopped any better than the other. Odds are pretty good , my will stay manual drums. Ps, Mine was done ordering from Finelines , the master, lines and valve as if it were for a 1967 GTX I have zero chance of going back to a single pot. Nor do I plan to pick one up for that someday maybe switch it back thing

I never said it was a "deal breaker"! I said it's a drawback. If I were to obtain that car, it would be switched to disc brakes all the way around.

I have never understood the reasoning for rear discs on a street driven car Not being critical just wondering

11” drums stop much better than most people realize because discs are touted like you can’t brake for a brunette with the drums. Depends a lot on how heavy the car is as to how the drums feel.
I want my fair share

I interpreted it as The dealbreaker. All good.

Agreed, Mine is 4-wheel manual drums. And it stops just fine. NOW, that said . I was coming down off Mt Lemmon 2years ago They were quite hot and starting to fade by the time I got to the bottom of the mountain ( 25 miles downhill will do that ) THATS Where disc brakes come into favor . But its not like I make those trips everyday
