Muscle Car of the Week: 1 of 10 Hemi Powered 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II Convertible

In 1966, only 10 people bought Hemi powered Plymouth Belvedere convertibles — these cars are like the big bad wolf in disguise. The drop top you see featured here is equipped with a 425 horsepower 426 Hemi and finished in a very unique color, Metallic Mauve (code 661) which looks very close to pink.

Pink or not, this is one bad machine! This drop top has a 3-speed automatic, and is the only one made in this color — making it one of the rarest Mopars in the Brothers Collection. It has been restored to perfection, and still has the original drivetrain. Since it’s a 1 of 1 due to its color, the original Metallic Mauve color was reapplied even though it may not be a favorite to most Hemi collectors.
