Owned a 66 with a factory installed police interceptor 440, dual exhaust, factory tach, and no AC. The guy I bought it from was the original owner and bought it as his go fast cruiser. He loved the car so much, he kept it clear till he went into a nursing home, then sold it to me, the son of the guy who owned the garage who maintained the car it's entire life. I will tell you this, that engine spec is under rated. My big old boat broke the tires loose through all gears. These cars handle better than Buicks, Olds, and any Ford of it's day due to torsion bar suspension. After 69, these cars were just a rebadged New Yorker or Newport. I wish I never sold that car. It was perfect, inside and out. The guy wanted 1500, in 1983 for it. He sold it to me for 700 as a thank you to my Dad. When I went to college, I needed money and couldn't really afford the insurance and 11 mpg. I sold it for 1200 to a guy who just wanted the motor and transmission. I looked it up recently and it's worth about 9K, which I find extremely depressing for what a fun car these non letter 400 cars really are.
Also, a little tid bit, when you get the back seat pulled, there will PROBABLY be a stereo amplifier mounted on the tunnel back there. I know the AM/FM stereo's had the amplifier located there, so I think it is the same for the 8 track. Please keep up with the videos.
@@garageofdreams3549 That's the reverberation unit!!!!! If you see a little pull switch, at the lower lip of the dashboard, your car has the reverb.... I believe they discontinued that around 68 or 69 as an option, as Jazz music faded in popularity. The unit gave an echo effect and kind of sounded like the music originated from a public bathroom. LOL!

Thanks for the memories it gave you, priceless.

So Cool aren't they, don't make them like this anymore.

I never did pull the back seat, I'll ask the new owner if there is a build sheet there. I hope so.
