Amenia, New York

Located in Dutchess County, adjacent to the Connecticut border.
Main Intersection; Routes 44 & 343

Town about 10 minutes north of Dover Plains.
Dover Drag Strip (1961 thru 1976)

Farm/Barn location; Smithfield Valley Road

Apparently, you would think some of these cars found their way down
the track at Dover Drag Strip in the mid-late 60's.

I have seen one Hemi Wagon (Correct VIN).....but never a 66 B Body anything with a 440. Anyone else ever seen one?

GTX John,

I believe the 1966 Dodge (only) was available with a 440, in
the large body cars (Polara and Monaco) and 'Special Fleet Order' Police Pursuit Vehicles.

From the little information that I have found, the original owner of these
cars was a Chrysler-Plymouth Fleet Order Regional manager, who handled New York State fleet orders.

Paul,

I found a '66 Chrysler in a junk yard in Alabama that had a 440 in it that was obviously a factory car.

They put tons of 440's in 1966 C-Body cars, the question which I have never witnessed is a 440 in a 1966 B Body.

There was a Chrysler dealer in Amenia. Amenia Motors, I believe they were shut down when Chrysler dumped alot of the smaller franchises recently. It was a Mom & Pop operation. I would think if this story is real, the paperwork would come back to that store.
