Looks to be a nice clean low mileage 66.

If money and space weren't a problem I'd have this one and the blue one.

I like it too, I wonder if it's been to Carlilse. Can't remember.

The 273 has lots of potential and the rest of the car looks to be in very nice condition from what I can see in that one picture. It looks like someone could purchase a great car for a very decent price. That car would look fantastic in Rich's Coronet dealership, uh I mean garage!

That is a nice car! - you don't see very many 273's in a '66 Coronet

Not to sound like a small block snob, but once you are used to the low end torque of a big block, I'm not sure I would have the patience. I really like having lots of power without RPM. I just went from my Cummins powered 4WD van weighing in at about 10K lbs to a very unloaded Chebby POS 1 ton with a small v-8. Man I'm really tired of trying to push the gas pedal THROUGH the floor. No power, bad mileage, and frustrating driving. Can't wait to get back into a real van.

I'm a huge fan of Mopar big block power and torque output myself Rich, but I will say that one of the wildest rides that I've ever been on in a Mopar that I didn't own, was with a guy that came over to my home many years ago to look at some parts that I had for sale. This guy owned a Black over Black 1970 Challenger that was powered by a VERY stout 340 that was backed by a 4 speed transmission and a stout gear ratio in the rear differential. I found out VERY quickly how EXTREMELY potent that modified 340 was as he took me out for a short ride in that Challenger. I still remember how that fricken Challenger fried the tires at every gear change and how fast that car got up to speed buddy! I also still remember the thoughts that crossed my mind that I might not live through that little drive as it seemed that the Challenger was every which way but straight on the road! WOW
