In 1966, Dodge made available three different trim level Coronets. These trim levels included the Deluxe series, the 440 series and the 500 series. The 500 was the top level that was available for the Coronet. It came with the same features as the 440, and also came with a center console, padded instrument panel, bucket seats and wheel covers. The key visual features that separate this 500 series from the 440 series is the ‘500’ script on the front fenders and four vertical louvers just ahead of the rear fender wells.

Decoding the VIN on this Coronet shows that this car is truly a special vehicle. Most Coronet 500’s were fitted with a 273 cubic inch V-8 engine; however, the fifth digit in this VIN is “H.” This signifies that from the factory this Coronet was fitted with a "Street Hemi" 426 cubic inch V-8 engine with two four-barrel carburetors. The car has been decoded by Galen Govier and he states that this Dodge Coronet is one-of-one with the equipped options. Before this car had the professional nut and bolt restoration completed; it was a solid, rust free example. The exterior is finished with Hemi Light Green paint work with a black vinyl top.
