1966 Dodge Charger
For consignment a first year edition of the first-generation Dodge Charger. This car has undergone an engine swap with the original short block included, a power front disc brake conversion, and all new front suspension. It sports the correct drivetrain and has repair records to back up the work performed. This pearl white cavalry horse is definitely ready to do battle...blow the bugle!
Exterior
If you thought the Barracuda fastback was cool, get a load of this fastback. It is truly the next level looking much like the concept car of 1965 that Dodge rolled out to wet future appetites for the upcoming muscle race. Nary a trunk lid here, although the gap suggests otherwise, but the long sloping line hides it. Outside shows the Charger badge on the long triangulated B pillar. The sides showing the beginnings of the Coke bottle shape design have well minded gaps and plenty of trimmings on the rockers and the wheel wells, belt line toppers, as well as around the windows. All this steel is bathed in pearl white and it shows in excellent condition with no rust to be found but does have notable color mismatch from panel to panel. Another highlight of the body is the factory correct roofline pinstriping that contours perfectly to the ever sloping fastback lines. Tucked in bumpers in mirror-like finish gleam along with the chrome trimmings. Up front hidden headlights give the grill the appearance that it runs the entire way across the front of the car. The rear picks up on this and has the taillight strip run entirely across the car as well. Fratzog badges are seen within the grille and a large circular badge on the trunk lid. 15-inch chrome laden Magnum 500 wheels are on all 4 corners and are wearing 235/60R15 Diamond Back red stripe radials from the 39th week of 2019.
Interior
A swing of the doors and gold vinyl mixes with aluminum inserts and gold carpet to create a sporty looking panel. Turning our attention to the seats, pristine gold tuck and roll pattern seats in the form of low back buckets in front and a duo of more buckets that have fold down capabilities, and center armrest that folds allowing the user to store many a cargo item under that large fastback. A center console upfront as well not to be outdone by the snazzy rear setup with its padded armrest and silver and chrome inlays around the long arm shifter. Looking up front at the dash and it is factory gorgeous. Very clean with its lineup of circular instruments, including the factory tachometer, with a new electroluminescent powerpack for the cluster, and a row of buttons, ignition switch and knobs just below, all within perfect reach of the driver. The remainder of the dash uses a rectangular pattern to add texture and house the radio and airflow levers, and a glovebox. A duo of silver face gauges hangs below the dash and gold carpet for the floors remains mostly unmarred save for some staining on the passengers footwell. A clean, tight suede-like headliner in tan is above.
Drivetrain
A surgically clean engine bay greets us with the hood up in the air and it is just fab. An aqua block and intake, water pump, then topped with aqua painted Mopar Performance ribbed valve covers and I'm nearly ready to eat this engine as it presents as a piece of eye candy. It is the correct but not original 383ci V8, and is topped with an Edelbrock Torker intake, and Edelbrock 750cfm 4-barrel carburetor. A shout out to the chrome plated air cleaner cover which can feed plenty of air for the fossils to mix with and turn this V8. An A833 4-speed manual transmission, and an 8.75 inch 3.23 SureGrip rear axle with new bearings complete this nice package. We note a new aluminum radiator has been installed along with new electronic ignition and a new fuel pump.
Undercarriage
Underneath a new Flowmaster muffler equipped exhaust system guides us through a very clean rust free structurally sound undercarriage. Fully rebuilt independent torsion bar suspension upfront, and leaf springs on the rear are in fab condition. A power disc brake conversion is on for the front, and power drums for the rear can be seen. For the chassis its miles of black undercoated steel with little to no surface rust to be seen. This black helps highlight the new brake lines, new 3/8" fuel lines and new fuel tank.
Drive-Ability
This horsepower embellished horse fired right up and ran very nicely through all aspects of our test track. A good accelerator, strong flow through the gears, and powerful and smooth ride left us with a smile on our track test dummies face, (Wait! not dummies!). Although we did note that even with the new headlight relays installed light covers would not rotate back closed.
There are nice examples of many cars in Classic Auto Mall, then there are really nice examples and this Charger is certainly in the latter category. Well done, a fancy futuristic design line, and that solid looking front grille, and you will be turned into a sucker for a 66 muscle car. Da Da Da Dit Da Dee...Charge...r!
