In April of 1966 you could buy a complete brand new 1966 Dodge Coronet 2-door street hemi, 4-speed, with blue streak tires for $3,150 from Mr. Norm's Grand Spaulding Dodge, the Midwest High-Performance king. Throw in an extra $6.95 if you wanted Norm to dyno tune it.

I was only 2 - BUT, that is very cool!! Just imagine, if we knew back then, what we know now, we would be snappin up ALL those cars as best we could! But then again, that is why we model I think - at least for me, it is one small way I can always have my dream cars! |

Tom, you got me to thinking. In the fall of '65 I did buy a Dodge Hemi, my first car. It was a 1953 with a 140hp 241cu in Red Ram Hemi with a Clutch-Flite tranny. It was a semi-barn find, as it had sat for years, but was in pretty decent shape. Parents were dead set against it, but since it hadn't run in years and only cost $1, they eventually said OK, because they thought I'd never get it running. The guys and I were going to tow it 25 miles home, but after about a mile, I threw it in gear and it eventually ran. It was ivory over apple green. The Shelby GT350 had just came out, so I put Shelby rocker and two over the top stripes on it, in contrasting ivory and apple green. I also put a piece of red cellophane in the dome light. It was a great senior year in high school and summer. My mom totaled it that winter, while I was away in college.
