Here is the CDN 4dr HEMI

[Silver R/T]

if its only 1 of 4 doesnt mean its desirable...I do not desire it, maybe sell parts off of it if I could get it for cheap or free. Maybe Trevor creed would drive it as retirement vehicle, he'd like it too

I'll agree that those people Ghoste named are instumental in this hobby. They each have incredible collections of cars. Juliano with the Rapid Transit cars, Welbourne with the huge collection of 71 HEMI Charger's, as well as a HEMI Daytona, HEMI 500, and a HEMI Superbird, Harrold Sullivan has always had a large collection of HEMI and 6 pac cars, as well as always seeming to have a large stash of NOS parts to go with each car. There are many other people who have large collections of cars as  well, and I'm going to say that 99% of those people that I've heard of are very approachable and very willing to pass on information to others in the hobby.

Those guys buy them to preserve them and they'd do it even if the cars were worthless.  It isn't about making good on their investment and flipping the car.  I think Juliano is the one who has been often quoted as saying he doesn't own any of these cars, he's just a steward for future generations to appreciate them.  Or something like that.  Good attitude in any case.

Of those people mentioned I can't think of many cars that they have ever let go from their collections. Most of them get a car, and keep it, and keep adding cars.

[Ghoste]

Sullivan trades a little bit.  He has his keepers but a few others have come and gone when they didn't hold his attention for whatever reason.  That Hemi 500 as a case in point.

[69_500]

True I knew he had the first HEMI 500 for a while. He only got rid of it for what a HEMI Daytona right? So its not like he just got rid of it to make a buck, but to get another car he didn't have in his collection.

[Ghoste]

I didn't mean to imply that.  I just meant that of the ones I mentioned, he was the only collector who seemed to let a car go once in a while.

[69_500]

He still has a huge collection of cars though. I have ran into more and more people who have silently accumulated rather large collection of HEMI and 6 pac cars as well. Gentleman I talk to quite often is definately under the radar on the big scheme of things but has at my last count 15 HEMI cars, and 24 6 pac cars. So quite an impressive collection in his own right. But he won't sell anything.

The car has been sitting with its engine out of the car for most of its life.  The car needs restoration and does not come with its original hemi.

Right out of the ad. I'm sure this would lower the price for a few bidders. Unless he has another '66 Hemi engine sitting with the car, it's just not really the same thing.

That is one cool car.  Used to live a few minutes from my house back in the day.  Hood scoop is not factory.  Many stories about that car from my Dad.

Moparmatty,do you know a little history on this car? Did the guy ever end up getting a daytona?

Moparmatty,do you know a little history on this car? Did the guy ever end up getting a daytona?

Car was ordered by a Vetrenarian in Huntsville.  He wanted a 4dr car with the biggest available engine.  So with the street Hemi going to be available for 1966 the guys at the dealership thought they'd try their luck at getting a Hemi the the Vets car.  Low and behold the one and only Canadian 4dr Hemi car was born.  It was the Vet's everyday car that he used to go tend sick cows on farms and what not.  Sometime in the late 70's the car ended up around here and went through about 3 different owners before it went away.  the last time I saw the car was when it was leaving the Barrie Auto Flea Market on a car trailer when I was 16 or 17 and I'm 29 now.  The hood scoop is not original to the car.  At one of the Hemi Owners's meets in the very early 80's there were a bunch of guys in the 4dr downtown Owen Sound doing some burnouts in traffic.  But the red 69 Hemi Charger caught all the flack from the cops because the 4dr looked like such a Grandma mobile.  LOL!!!!!!!  At a Chrysler Convention meet in Ann Arbor around 1980 the Deep sump oild pan was damn near cleaned right off the bottom of the car on a 33% grade inside the Chrysler Proving Grounds on one of the test roads.  Chrysler warned guys to be careful at the bottom but I guess Lenny came down the hill a little too hot!!!!  One of I think 3 times that Chrysler has let anyone one other than employees inside the Proving Grounds.  Twice was back around late 70's - early 80's.  The last time was at a Wing Car meet in 1996 that I'm sure glad I attended.  Got to do a hot lap of the 5 mile concrete oval with no pace vehicle no speed limit.  That was a first.  The two previous times there had been a pace vehicle.  But that's a whole other story.

As for the old ad you posted.  I'm not sure if the guy got a Daytona or not.  How old is that ad?  Send me a pm 65 Post.

My friend's dad tried to order a pickup truck with a Hemi and they filled out the forms and were all set to go. However, he wanted the car's 4-speed in it too and they told him it couldn't be done. He decided that if he couldn't order it that way then they couldn't have his business. If he had just ordered the truck any way I'm sure it would have had people scratching their heads for many, many years. He ended up with a lot of really interesting cars  that are still in the family but that one would have been cool.
