help tracking ownership of 1966 hemi coronet post car

[rayh1967]

Hey guys/gals

I need a little help. I just purchased a 1966 Coronet WL21H hemi post car. It has been out of circulation for many years. I bought from the second owner who bought the car in 1975. Has been in storage for a long time as the second owner only put a 2000 miles on the car - has 30,000 now. It is a unique color combo of BB1 black with dark blue interior. I am hoping someone remembers this car. Car has been a upper midwest car (I live in IL bought from WI).

Thanks in advance

Ray

I am from WI. Where did the car come from and who was the owner?

 

[rayh1967]

The previous owners name was Larry Meyer. He has lived in WI his entire life. He bought the car from a guy in Manitowoc, WI in 1974. Larry currently lives in Newton, WI. When Larry bought the car the owner had painted it RED (over the original black). Larry repainted the car EE1 blue sometime in the early 80's. I removed the interior and sure enough the floor pans are black.

Thanks for your help.

you will notice the car has the grill from a 500. Not sure when/why this was changed out. I have a full nos grill to use when I restore her

thanks for the feedback everyone. Yes the car is quite cool. The interior seems to be all original, the engine/trans seem to be the correct build dates for a Feb 66 production date. If anyone can find pictures from WI race tracks that would be fantastic. Car was repainted RED over the black so I think it would have sood out. A Red car with blue interior would have been odd.

Take care
