New 67 Belvedere Owner

[Commando66]

I’ve wanted a 67 Belvedere for a long time but my garage has always been full of other cars/projects. I found the car I wanted so I sold off my 66 Barracuda project (was my first car) to make room. The Belvedere is a supposed 17,000 mile car originally from Ohio. It’s wearing an older driver quality repaint and has had some “restoration” work done. Overall it’s an incredible car. It’s got a 318 and automatic, manual drums all around and power steering. Plans are a few suspension upgrades as well as front discs. I put my Hurst mags on to see how they would look. I’ve also got some 15” steel wheels getting painted.

Beautiful car. 66-67 roofline is just stunning with the windows rolled down. Any idea who makes those floormats? They look really nice quality.

They are nice. I’m guessing Legendary.

Welcome from Alabama, nice Belvedere, it wouldn't happen to be a Silver Special would it? What I'm seeing is the lack of the side trim, the two tone interior, and the black vinyl top. I sold one a few years ago, it was not nearly that nice.

It is a silver special. I’ve got some research to do to get the black pinstripe back on the car.

Are you keeping the poly engine? I hope so. I always feel a bit disappointed when folk swap out the original engine for a 440. I'd prefer to work with whatever the car came with, be it 273, 318, 383 etc. I'm probably in the minority I know, it just somehow feels right to keep the original motor.

I’m keeping the original LA318 that’s in it.

318LA - of course being a '67. It just looked quite wide in the engine bay and I didn't look too closely. Glad that your keeping it all the same.

Man, I'm really digging that Belvedere. How cool would that be, to get an original low mile
critter? I really like those Hurst wheels and redlines on it; they look like they belong on the thing.
