Default 1966 2+2 Return To Glory

Got my PHS docs yesterday. Car was built in Southgate CA. So it looks like this car may have been in CA its whole life.

Has the YH 421 engine which appears to be standard for 2+2 automatics.

Order form does not identify what rear axle it had. Have to do some more research. Thought all 2+2s had SafeTTrack.

Can't wait to get it home and get started on it so we can DRIVE!!!!!!!!

On a 65 it's box 70. If it is blank it's a peg leg and most likely a 3.23 with an automatic.


ETA did you figure how to get it home?


ETA2 air and auto may be a 3.08

On a 66 it is box 73 and its blank.

Still working on transpo. Got a couple of quotes but pick up date not workable with the seller. I am moving it to a storage unit on 2/7 while I work out pick up. Thing is I will have to go to LA again when they pick it up.

I get it running good I will take you up on your offer for the AC.

Beautiful car.

And that's a BIG trailer. You could land an aircraft on that......

Default SCORE!!!

Going through the two tubs of stuff I got with the 2+2 last night and found this. Tag goes back to 1989. Going to try and figure out what was on the left side tag.

That is going to be a gorgeous car. Love the color combo since it is the same as on my '69 Bonneville convertible.
Are in KC or out in California?
My friend Doug in Richmond has a red '66 2+2 coupe. Absolutely gorgeous. It's the one car I'd gladly trade for.
Steve Phillips in Tulsa OK may be able to provide any parts you find that you are needing. Keep us posted with many more pictures.

What you want them PMD? I eventually will change them. Low on my priority list at the moment. I was thinking about putting some polished 17x8 Year One Rally IIs on it.

Here is the story. I live in Kansas City. Liberty, MO actually. I am currently working on a project in Phoenix. I found the car out in LA.

I am considering going to parchment interior to give it more contrast. I may leave the panels and carpet blue and just do the seats.

If it wasnt such a rare car I would consider an exterior color change. I think it would look killer in dark spiral gray with parchment interior

Get out of here. I grew up in Liberty. Go Blue Jays! PM me for more info.

My '69 Bonneville has parchment interior and I suspect your car may originally have as well. It looks better than white IMO.

It's your car so do with it what you want but my .02 cents is to keep the original color. It is a rare piece. Brad

I have a very nice set of original 14" steel wheels that fit this car if you have a need for them. Very reasonable.

Beautiful black with parchment interior '66 2+2 convertible for sale on E-bay now from a classic car dealer in St Louis. Lots of options: power windoes, powere drivers bucket seat, hard back bucket seats, 421, tri-power (not sure if that was an option), automatic, convertible, 8 lug wheels, red line tires.

I personnaly do not care for the fender skirts on the Catalina/Ventura/ GP's

Way to much money for me but a good source of pictures.
