    Looking for this 66 Coronet Wagon: UPDATE Found vin!

    My father special ordered this 66 Coronet 440 station wagon at Cherry Hill Dodge in NJ.
    It featured a 383 and 4 speed trans and pretty much every high performance option and bench seat.
    It was obviously customized with the brown textured paint and bright hugger orange paint, functional scoops, side pipes, javelin grill, corvette taillights with clear lenses for turnsignal and single low/high headlights.

    It was sold in the early 70's. Curious to know if it is still out there, somewhere, in any condition.

    UPDATE:

    VIN Found!!

    1966 dodge coronet WH45G61284746
    Found the original finance contract for the Coronet

    Can anyony help find out where it was registered last.................?

    This was the ad he made when he was sold it in 1972 or 1973

    There's something you don't see everyday.

    a "back in the day" customized wagon.

    How does one think of putting in a Javelin grill!

    Very cool wagon. Thanks for posting the pictures. I saw you posted over on the Dodge Coronet Registry as well.
    I hope your Dad's wagon still exists somewhere out there.
    As a kid it must have been really cool to ride around in that wagon back in the day (or were you too young to remember it?).

    That is a wild looker, I like it! I also hope it didn't end up in the wrong hands and you find it.

    I vaguely remember the wagon, but I showed my mother the forum and she sent me an email saying how much SHE loved driving that wagon with my sister and me in the back seat!

    You might want to flood the area where the wagon was last seen with Craig's List 'looking for' ads. Put them the 'Cars for Sale' . 'Lost and Found' and whatever other section might apply.

    I'd also suggest getting the attention of a 'human interest' reporter for the paper in that area.. You need to really publicize this.......

    Hey maybe 'The Locator' on TV will help........

    I think you may need to find another Coronet wagon and make a clone of your Dad's wagon.

    It would be a job to replicate. I barely have time to drive my 440 powered Dodge Demon
