Manual brakes but a Tilt-o-Scope?

Holy ****, good observation, I didn’t even notice.

Not my fav style Matt, and esp not if it has to be imported.

All I can do is set them in front of you, I knew it wouldn’t check all the boxes.

FWIW:
Car is wearing a hood ornament and front bumperguard from a 65 Fury.
Blacked-out grille (pretty obvious, of course).
Some type of rocker molding has been added, I don't recall seeing such molding on a 66, not even a VIP?
Although not 'wrong', the dirty pedals and lack of dressup make them look out of place, esp with the tilt-scope steering column.
Shifter is not correct for a 66 - or the handle isn't, anyway.
Someone elected to not connect the vacuum advance on the distributor - why???
Has a later plastic fan shroud, a 65 would've had metal, I presume a 66 would also. But I doubt a 22" rad would've had a shroud on a non-AC car in 66?

So somebody has changed a number of things.
Not that it means it's not a real 4-speed car, but a review of the FT is certainly in order.

I don't think it's worth quite near the asking price, that price would be more appropriate to an unmodified car.

From the B-bodies site...

Friend picked up this last week. I can read some of the tag but not sure about the rest.

4 speed C body, this is odd..

Now that I noticed it, the radio says Chryco. Would that make it a Canadian built car perhaps?

Der, look at the dash.

Dont know anything bout Canada built cars, hence the question. What's with the dash then?

It's a Plymouth dash, square, vs the US dash with it's twin pod design.

Canadian built Dodges used Plymouth interior parts. My 69 Monaco for instance, had Fury seats.

If you filed, not someone else like @traintech55 had happen, you're fine. Might have gotten pushed back with the stimulus checks going out.
