In case you took me seriously, the paint rule was a joke...
This isn't. I found it on the web:
Quote:
1. There were 55,683 1966 Dodge Coronet 500s sold.
2. 360 of those were Hemi powered, of which 21 were convertibles.
3. Hemi breakout, ’66 Coronet 500:
> 204 4-speed hardtops
> 12 4-speed convertibles
> 135 Automatic hardtops
> 9 Automatic convertibles
All street Hemi blocks, 1966-‘71 were engineering P/N (“casting”) 2468330, as were the ’64-’65 castings, and even MP replacements (with a “M” suffix added to those).

Based on the above, you have a pretty rare car. An automatic hardtop HEMI represents less than 1/4 of %1 of the production run.
The 66 Coronet 500 4 door with the 426 HEMI is, indeed, in the NHRA Stock Car Classification Guide.
