A soft yellow paint job and gold cloth interior make this 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II look like grandma’s Sunday driver — until you find the 426 Hemi hiding under the hood. Chrysler built the Street Hemi to satisfy NASCAR homologation rules after banning the race version outright, and only a handful of Belvederes ever left the factory with one. Paired with a 4-speed stick and 425 horsepower, this is about as pure a sleeper as the muscle car era ever produced.
A soft yellow 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II with a gold interior looks built for grocery runs, not for embarrassing faster cars off the line. Underneath sits a 426 Hemi paired with a four-speed stick, the kind of factory sleeper combination Chrysler quietly offered to buyers who wanted serious power without the attention. This documented example comes from the Brothers Collection by way of V8 Speed and Resto Shop. See what is hiding under that unassuming hood.
