Check it out, my 66 is all one color :glasses7:












Just kidding....Actually, that was taken in Aug 2001, when it still had the 170 in it, I have dads very rare SBP Rocket mags on there in that pic. I found some old developed pics, figured I would scan it.

Very cool Keith :D. I loved the Rocket stage 1's. Cool thing about the SBP wheels was the centers were scalloped for clearance. Added some uniqueness over the cragers.

I like it as it is with the black fenders. It gives it that "I'm gonna ***** slap you" look.

It happened totally by accident :D

The fenders on the car rusted on the top so I got rust free ones for it. Plans were to paint the car soon after I got it running (ya right LOL) so I just had them painted inside with POR 15 and the outside primer black to save money, then have them done when the whole car was ready. I liked the look but when I joined FABO, everyone liked it and now I think I have to leave it how it is :D

BTW, it runs and sounds meaner than it looks :angryfir:

Yeah I agree, I wonder what it look like with a flat black hood too?? Looks awesome the way it is, but just wondering
 
There is no shame in that '66- it doesn't look ratty, so no problemo!
 
I can see those rusty topped fenders in the old photos.I have one of those myself. LOl Those black fenders give it "attitude". tmm

Yup, luckily the inner fenders had no rot anywhere. Those are older pics that I scanned with my printer.
 
i honestly always wondered why your fenders were black. now i know.
thought maybe it was for a Hemi dart style look. seeing your 66 all together keeps me plugging at mine.
 
It's pretty bad that when everybody likes your car the way it is, that if you do paint it, you'll get bounced off the board..... :D
 
I hope I did not step on your toes here in this thread :eek:ops:
when I got Victoria your Sedan was and is the big brother Valiant to many.
Makes me wonder, do I go V8 or keep it /6 :D
I never knew you had a 170/ in it when you got it.
You and your dad has a great pair of 66'es :cheers: 2 great Plymouth's :cheers:
 
Keith,your car has been one of my favorites since joining FABO.It actually got me into the Early-A,s:cheers:
