Subject: Off year Coronet question




I found a 66 440 Coronet today that showed up on a public  parking area
since
Monday. The roof/glass was covered with a tarp.   There is no engine size
listed on the hood ornament.  It has "V8" on the  sides of the front
fenders.
There has been a inside hood release  added.  The vin, WH23E6512**** shows
it
has a special order engine.   It has a 8.75 rear, 727 trans, and unknown if
stock dual exhaust.  I can't  find the build plant (7th digit) listed.  I
think
this is going to have a 4  sale sign on it tomorrow.  My question is what is
a
Special Order Engine,  and should I believe is other than a 318 car?  The
plates are expired in 93  and the Registered Owner is in prison. I don't
know if
the R/O is the current  owner.     Joe
