Mean Green the Time Machine

C4 I wonder what it stands for.

 

[Big bill]

I picked up a new gas cap for it and it fits and looks good.

Awesome time machine. Pretty sure the C4 is the inspection mark from the factory.

Agree great color.

Being a Belvedere II, it would have come standard with bench seat and column shift (unless a 4 speed) rather than being "ordered" that way.

I'll add it to may collection of WH23G and RH23G '66 383 4 barrel Coronet 440's and Bel II's.

Not too terribly many of those made.

I was going threw some of the old paper that were left in the car and and I found a receipt for a new starter that was dated 1981 $35.00 . The 7-11 matches were kinda neat and the old pop cap I have net seen one like that in 30years !!

 

[Big bill]

The mileage was on one receipt and it’s only 6000 miles less than where it is now so I guess the 57000 hard miles is original dang . Sure is fun trying to figure this stuff out it’s like it was parked one day and forgotten left to waste away .

I picked this car up a few weeks ago bought it sight unseen from a guy that didn't know much about mopars. It was an estate sale from the oringal owner who had past away several years ago and this was his ride , he ordered the car new with a 383 four barrel dual exhaust 3.91 post bench seat auto on the column. The car has been off the road since 82 and it sat outside under a tarp so I didn't get a lot of info on it . When it showed in Michigan from Colorado it barely ran and it was a mess What Did I DO !!!!! Well I went to work on the car and it fought me all the way the new battery that came with it had a dead cell, the car smoked like a teen age pot head, it had new plug wires and a dist plus coil but the plugs looked like they had been in it since 1972 . I founds lots of papers and trash, pot seeds, two roaches (not the bug kind) and every ash tray was full of cigarette butts.... This thing is like going back to the High school parking lot in 1981. There is a under dash sparko-matic tape deck with a 7 band eq I found a few tapes, Deep purple, Boston and Pink Floyd The Wall to name a few. Well I got it running and tuned up with fresh oil and plugs and I have put about 100 miles on it and this this is a runner it's so hard to believe a car can sit for forty years and run and drive this good. It still needs some work but this car is mean, very fast I had to put 93 octane gas in it and it still will ping now and then WOW !!!!! Every time I get in this thing I feel like I'm in high School cruising around jamming some tunes looking for chicks and someone to race!!!!

Yeah I know what you mean but they were a hot ticket back in the 70's 80's my other car that was parked in 81 came with a new set still in the box . If you take all the stuff off the car and restore it it will look like all the other cars .

Hey they give us something to talk about.
Me, I don't mind them a bit on a stick car. But I'm a stuck in the 60's kinda guy.

Much better with the factory steering wheel - looks like it was a late build, it has the '67 shifter handle.

Not sure does the 66 fender tag have a date on them?

Not sure if its on the fender tag or in the ViN.

 

[Big bill]

I had a broken taillight lens and found a pair of used ones so I changed them out with some Belvedere 1 lenses I know they are not correct or numbers matching but I like them better than the Belvedere 2 lenses

 

[Big bill]

I found this under the back seat , I was looking for a build sheet be none was there . This book is interesting though.
