Nice car.

Looks like a LOT of work. I would be interested in knowing what you started with as in what you had, what you had to buy, how much you did yourself, what you had to pay for, and how much you are in it when done. I ask this because many people on ANOTHER web site are always dissing the 66-67 Hemi cars with REALLY low values and I have often said that they could not build a TRIBUTE of my car for what I want for mine.

I am betting that when it is all said and done financially you would have been better off buying mine. Not that we ever spoke about it, just using it as an example.

well i own a restoration shop so i did all the work myself as far as how much it costs they are not cheep but no car done to this level is cheep the biggest difference i think is the 67 hemi stuff like finding the right carbs,distributer,rad.
as far as buying one that is allready done takes 90% of the fun out of it. I build cars all day long that is the part i enjoy after they are done i just need to drive a couple times and send it on its way and start on another. I still dont know why the 66 and 67 dont get the respect they deserve they are great cars. This one was owend by the old golden commando Forest Petcock.

I believe the reason is that they have no real telltale signs that they are anything other than a standard passenger car going down the road. The 66s especially. The 67 R/T has a louvered hood scoop that as not real noticable at first glance. At least the GTX has the scoops and stripes as an option and are much more indentifable as a hipo car. I think that is one of the big reasons the GTXs bring more money than the R/Ts in the 67 cars.
