We are going to NJ this week to pick up our new car. She's a 66 vert. Ironically, its only a few blocks away from where I bought Marlena back in 1978!

SWEET!!! Its real hard to beat a '66!! Ball joint front end, 1300 long stroke, small bore engine, etc...

66 is by far my favorite year, this one looks super clean and its a vert too!

Does it still have the 1300??

Still has the original 1300 F block. 83434 original miles.
Florida car.
66 has always been my favorite too. I missed out on the identical
car before I bought my 72 'vert back in 1979
Can't wait to cruise through my hometown on Ocean Ave. top down Very Happy Last time was Labor Day 1989!

That 1300 is just so damn good in so many ways!! I have gotten over 40 MPG from one! They never run hot, don't have flat spots and run forever! About the only thing that ever kills one is a dropped valve or pulled head stud!
