Hemmings Find of the Day – 1966 Chrysler 300

There was a time when any 440-powered four-door would have been a parts car, regardless of the shape it was in. Nowadays? Cars like this 1966 Chrysler 300 are being sold as a whole, running, special-interest car. Are four-doors really becoming more desirable, or are regular folks just priced out of two-doors? Or, at $7,500, will this still become an engine donor? From the seller’s description:

This is a one-owner vehicle with 34k original miles and original paint. A special order with a 440 TNT engine, THIS IS A ONE OF ONE – yes this one only – made by Chrysler with 4 doors and bucket seats. Has 391 posi rear, duel exhaust. All power options.
