I know this is weird but that 65 Coronet is my idea of the perfect hemi. I believe this is the model that C&D wrote about in the mid 60s. The writer drove from Mich. to LA and told of his exploits in this ultimate sleeper. May have been a lightweight, don't remember exactly. I just know that is the only magazine article that I have never forgotten!
I spent years looking for that old C&D but never found it. That 65 Coronet brings back some vivid memories.
