'66 Hemi Belvedere (8.90 seconds!)

[PhotosGuy]

Dave's '66 Hemi Belvedere has about 1,000bhp! It's 13:1 compression, .700" lift roller cam, etc, etc. Trans is Hemi 727 pushing a 4.89 Dana rear end. The headers dump into 4" collectors.

Gas mileage is 3mpg, a small price to pay for an 8.90 second 145mph car, no?

OK, notice the plate that almost everyone ignored in the "Stickers" thread? It's back! Who can explain it?

[MazerRakhm]

That is one quick looking toy! They have some $$$ in it too...

I'd really like to see that one go down the track!

[TrainRider]

About that plate.
That looks like the first letters/numbers of the VIN.
I'm not too famililar with pre 70's Mopar numbers, but I have had a few VL29 cars.;)

[FlipFlopWS6]

i didnt know they were allowed to be in the 8's with a break away door roll bar. whats the power adder? nitrous?

pretty car, id like to see a picture of it doing a wheelie!

[RadAL]

wow, gas is 3 mph!!! ;) sorry, I had to

sweet car.

[PhotosGuy]

I'd really like to see that one go down the track!You're aiming low, Kevin. I'd really like to take that one down the track! :D That looks like the first letters/numbers of the VIN. Got it. And it says... whats the power adder? nitrous? No. Detroit talent & an educated right foot? ;) Good eye, rad!

Thanks for the interest, guys.

[MazerRakhm]

I don't know about that...

What if I break or crash it... :shock: That's a lot of $$$ invested in that machine.

[TrainRider]

Got it. And it says...

It says that it is a low price 1966 Belvedere two door sedan with the "H" engine.:D
Honestly, I am just guessing that much since I am not familiar with VIN codes in '66. I did go out to the garage and look at my old Mopar Performance Chasis and engine manuals. The only examples I found were for '70 and up. If I went by that it would have had a 340 in it, but that is not possible since the 340 wasn't born until '68.
In other words,................ I'm stumped.:)

IF it was an original Hemi car, it's kind of rare. They only made like 1400 or 1500 of those in '66. I'm going by something I saw, but didn't pay much attention to in the chasis manual. My memory from a few minutes ago may be bad.

Elephants Rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... Yeah, where's the wheel stand shot?????????????

[PhotosGuy]

It says that it is a low price 1966 Belvedere two door sedan with the "H" engine Close enough! It stumped me, too.
RL - Belvedere
Z1 - Post car
H - hemi
6 - 1966
1 - Built at the Lynch road plant.
What if I break or crash it... That's a lot of $$$ invested in that machine. It's a factor I'll admit. You do have the right attitude though as you're not worrying about your own butt first! :D
Generally, you write them off mentally before you get into them. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to push them to the limit?

Yeah, where's the wheel stand shot :D I'd like to see it, too!

Thank's for the comments, Marie & Dan. (I go "WOW!" a lot on Cruise nights, too!) :D
Dan, if we go back to the track on September 24th, do you think you could make it?

12 runs up the strip per gallon sounds fair to me!

[PhotosGuy]

12 runs up the strip per gallon sounds fair to me! As the ads say, "Your mileage may vary!" :D

[Ballen Photo]

Dont forget your "Test n Tune" time with the throttle. Your mileage will DEFINITELY vary. ;)
Nice image's Frank. :D

[dave kruk]

Thanx for the positive feedback i really like the car it could stand them way up but not wanting to bend the chassis and get good ET's i lowered the wheely bars to something more senseable....also i just make runs for fun and i never run eliminations with the car
not being rich and the price of this stuff limits me a little bit....

[PhotosGuy]

...not being rich and the price of this stuff limits me a little bit.... BTDT! Here, we're poor from buying "fast glass"! :D
