1966 Plymouth Belvedere II 426 Hemi-Muscle Car Of The Week Video Episode  

I had a '65 Belvedere with a 318

A High School buddy of mine had the 66' 318 Belvedere. Coming back to Southern Maine from an Alice Cooper concert way up in Bangor, Maine with four people going 105 mph the whole way was no problem. In another case, same car, and crew, we hit a small dear going 70 mph on RT 295 while on our way to see the band Mountain, (radiator hose, replaced it) at Bowdin College. We made it on time and returned safely with a slightly messed up grill and headlight gone. I guess the bumper absorbed most of it. I hit a dear going about 10 mph and needed a new hood, one headlight, and the grill was totaled on my 69' Mercury Monterey. The dear I hit was a big buck, however, and my girlfriend puked about 10 seconds before the dear hit, she only had about two Miller Lites. I took her downstairs and washed her off after bringing her back to my parents house. My old man didn't believe my dear story until he picked dear fur out of the grill the next morning. The night started off good anyway, my parents were supposed to go out for the evening but changed their minds earlier so we ended up watching TV together with my parents upstairs. By 8:00 PM on a Saturday night I had a wreaked car, a sick girlfriend, and my parents in the house.

my friends mother had a '65 4 door dodge coronet,318, no pretense of performance, yet 6 of us piled in and maintained 110 mph for several miles on ohio 271. typical mopar!

@@dicarlo57 I had a 318 in a 71 Dodge Boat (Charger). That 318 would pick the front wheels off the ground of that boat (Charger). LOL

Those 225 slant six engines are practically bullet proof. Those and the Ford 300 straight six are maybe the most reliable engines ever to come from Detroit

I had the 66 Belvedere II 4 door sedan with the slant 6 in high school. It got me around town on Friday night on $2 gas and the big back seat was great sitting on the levee with my girl.

@@lehampton1 those slant sixes were bullet proof. I had a 73 Dart with a slant six as a kid. I beat the living shit outta that thing and it just would not die

@@jeremythompson9895 All of the 225's I had were well-worn by the time I got them, but they kept going regardless. My '68 Valiant used a quart of SAE 30 every 125 miles!

And other Go Fast Goodies!

Yes clones can be made! No doubt.I know of a crowd that does that type of work in W. New York area.

4 speeds had Dana 60, automatic cars had 8/34.

Well, I don't know. The man is, if anything, an automobile statistical library. I doubt he would have made a statement which could so easily be proven incorrect. You could get the race-ready Belvedere II 426 cross ram, twin Carters with headers in BLACK. However, I do not think the street Hemi Belvedere II came in Black. Now the Belvedere ( I ), Satelite, or Coronet may have come in black. But you know, colors were often specific to model, engine size, and trim packages.

who are they? where does their fortune come from?

I would take my acetylene torch and cut it in half and say hey here's your half bitch!!!
