No other word, engine designation or advertisement campaign
emerged so famous from the muscle car era than HEMI. Forever attached to the
Chrysler, the HEMI in 426 street form would go down in history as a legendary
motor, capable of incredible performance for the track or street.
Motor Trend Magazine described its
acceleration performance as “absolutely shattering”.
This 1966 Coronet 500 represents a wonderful example of the
first year the
factory 426 “Street” HEMI
was available to the general public. It comes just as it did from the factory,
painted Bright Red with black deluxe interior and console.
Under the hood you will find the famous 426 HEMI
coupled with a floor shifted Torque-Flite automatic transmission. Having been
under the same ownership for many years, this car has been lovingly cared for,
and stored in good dry indoor environment. This Hemi spent most of its life in
CaliforniaThe car represents an excellent opportunity
to purchase a factory 426 HEMI Dodge and what Motor Trend called the “one of
the fastest and most fantastic sedans ever”
and very evident as you inspect the cars extremely solid body.
