Plus one on that...

I saw a 4 speed version on one of the "other" forums (as if there is another forum!) a while back.

NICE car!!!

I saw a '66 Post roll through town here in Peterboro' about 10-12 years ago...my color memory is bad but I think it was burgandy?. I never got closer than a block away from the car and tried chasing it down until traffic & lights stopped me...also the ex wife..
Pretty sure it was a Strato but never got close enough before it got away..
Anyone know of a burgandy '66 Post in Ontario?.

Another beautiful post car. Personally I don't care if it's a Cdn 427 or a US 421 car, they're equally desirable to me. I've got both Canadian and US cars and I value both.

I believe the lack of chrome on a 2 door post was a delete option on the US Catalinas. In fact most of the Catalina 2 dr posts I've seen have the chrome - I've only seen a few that did not. But i am not aware that it was part of the Strato Chief or Laurentian 2 door package, and I've never seen one with the chrome. Whether it was an available option is another question. I know I have seen 68 & 69 Biscayne 2 door posts with the chrome post trim that was supposed to be optional equipment. Here is a link to a yellow L72 Biscayne that shows the chrome window package. I have seen a build sheet on this car somewhere online that lists it as one of the options that was delivered on the car.  http://www.rinstadauctions.com/vehicles/10.htm

Since when is a 421 slower than a 427?
