way to expensive.
The 66/67 Hemi cars are the cheapest to buy.
Worth around the half of his asking price

Really original? Maybe a resto from the 1980's? Some how it didn't get cut up for drag racing in the 60's.

It's pretty sweet!
I966 Hemi Belvedere II survivor. This is an original paint original interior original drivetrain survivor. This car is like a time capsule. Just to give you an idea of how original this car is it has the original exhaust including mufflers, it even has the original brake and fuel lines. This car spent its entire life in southern California. Most of its life was spent on display. It was driven more in its earlier years it has 63,000 miles. Equipped with power steering and power brakes and automatic transmission. It has some chips and a few small scratches and some carpet wear but it is in amazing condition for its age. I literally has no rust, top or bottom. I have done some maintenance recently. New upper and lower control arm bushings, new ball joints and tie rod ends. Fresh alignment. Car has all new brakes and wheel cylinders, new brake hoses and new master cylinder. Both of the original carbs have been rebuilt along with new fuel filters new fuel tank and pickup assembly. The tank was not rusty just full of old fuel. The rear differential has new pinion and axle seals as well as new lube and posi additive. Transmission has new filter kit, shift shaft seal and output shaft seal and new fluid. Engine has fresh oil, new spark plugs, fresh points and condensers in the original dual point distributor, dwell and timing have been set as well as the valve lash and new valve cover gaskets and coolant.
I did have a new vinyl top installed as the original was in poor condition. I saved all of the replaced parts and they will be included in sale. This car starts runs and drives amazing and everything works as it should. The car has reproduction red line bias ply tires on it; they look great but are poor quality driving tires. They are more for display than handling. I bought this car as part of a two hemi car deal and I can't afford to keep both. I believe this car to be one of very few original paint survivors and possibly the only one with this great option and color combination. I have photos of all of the pertinent part numbers, vin and SO numbers and dates from the car. It's all real!! I am asking $129,000 or best reasonable offer. No Brokers please. show contact info Thanks Ron

Of course theay do handle bad in curves compared to radial tires.
So they do require more driving skills.
Poor drivers choose radials due to their lack of driving competence.
Is this enough oil for the fire Matt

I've seen the car, it's a local to me. Crazy level survivor it's unreal how original it is, but as mentioned, it's priced at almost double what the 66/67 Hemi cars are currently selling for.. he'll find out soon enough

You won't get any debate from me Carsten, it just seemed like a good opportunity to use the poking stick. I will say this though, I've put over 4,500 miles on the Imp this year and I couldn't imagine using bias ply tires for any of them.

On the plus side, no hose...
There are collectors that will pay a premium for an unmolested original example. Not sure if $129K is in that ballpark tho.

The bias ply tires are largly responsible for a lot of us being here now. I can think of a few occasions where, if the tires had gripped, I would have ended up in a bunch of trouble. A good driver learned about the limitations of the bias tires and drove accordingly. Some never did. Back in the day there was a steady supply of 440's and drive trains, as well as just about any vehicles that were capable of exceeding the limits of bias tires, in the local salvage yards. Power trains pulled from supercars that were wrapped around a tree.
The radial tire as good as some suspension upgrades on the 60's cars. Thank goodness for them.....!

I think this Belvedere is worth pretty close to the asking price, (which he states is negotiable). A beautiful well thought out car. A wise collector will take note.
My friend Marvin, in Ocala Fl, has a beautiful fully restored 66 Satellite Hemi 4 speed in B7 w/black interior. Very correct and very nice. It has only been driven to the end of his driveway since restoring it. (he has a long driveway).
He keeps pressing me to buy it...... I never asked, "how much", but I doubt he would take any less than this car is priced at.

66 belvedere is without a doubt my favourite b body. Hemi in a belvedere 1 post car if it were in this kind of condition would be more valuable.
