 Congrats on the ID! Sometimes its so hard to do with only a photograph not showing some of the features particular to that model year.

Not soooo hard.  The grill is pretty distinctive

Yeah, they are an enormous vehicle, mines been off the road for years, as I have to do some touchups and rebuilding of the tranny and engine. They sat for so long that all the seals have gone hard. The engine still runs, and runs good amazingly enough, even with the carb having sat with the gas varnishing up. Its not a 440 in there which I would have liked, its only a 318. Still really good condition for a 66.. It was bought brand new by my grandfather.
I agree the photographs are misleading.. its STILL big, lol.

how much gas can a 440 suck through a 4bbl carb in a second??

Ive been looking for an actual muscle car. Browsing all the adds and craigslists for a barracuda or a challenger. I dont really want a dart or a charger, they are really overdone.

When i was 16 i had a 68 chevelle. 350 small block.  I still have a soft spot for that '68 there are a couple of body presses that are just classic.
