Vehicle Description
Fresh off a full restoration, this 1966 Dodge Charger has a cool
modern color combo, new components, and a growling V8. And as you
dig into all the details, you see a legend that has been given a
whole new attitude.
You know this Charger looks ready for prime time. Gunmetal Gray
Metallic is a cool modern color, and it looks exceptionally fresh.
Of course, that's also because you're looking at car that completed
its full frame-off rotisserie restoration earlier this year. You
can tell they really spent time on the details. After all, the red
racing stripe adds a ton of distinction, and have you seen the
wheels? These custom iron cross-style alloys are painted not only
to color match the gray, but also have a cool red stripe around the
rim. While this has a ton of modern flair, we also know you want
this Charger for its history. Dodge was catching up to the new
fastback craze started by the Mustang, so their historically low
production numbers are especially true for the first generation
that had a less than two-year production run. But part of the
reason why it was a little late to the party was because they were
getting the design right. More than just the bold roof line, this
one has some very sporty design elements. It starts with the hidden
headlight front end that received new electric light motors during
the restoration. The trim runs the full profile, so it accents the
large rear fenders. And those chrome bumpers are wide enough to
dominate the road.
These original Chargers did not come cheap, and so they made sure
the interior was a true premium experience. The upholstery is quite
correct and the black vinyl is offset by a few well-chosen bits of
chrome and stainless trim. It's a package that makes for a very
sleek interior that looks upscale. It also helps that they made
more investments to make sure everything looks well-presented and
correct. Everyone gets the luxury of the full length center console
with armrests. Plus, the rear seats individually fold flat for
versatility not seen on many muscle cars. The gauges are absolute
works of art. The aircraft-inspired dials have markings around the
perimeter and have a very modern glow at night. The radio looks
like a factory unit, but it's really a retro-style AM/FM digital
tuner with Bluetooth. After all, a premium cruiser like this needs
a good selection of tunes.
The side callouts might say 383, but the consignor states this is
actually a larger 400 cubic-inch powerplant. It looks just as fresh
as the rest of the car with its bright turquoise block, matching
valve covers, and classic Mopar air topper. More than just look
good, this one also has some great performance chops. It inhales
deeply with a four-barrel carburetor, and exhales with wicked
authority as long tube headers feed an X-pipe dual exhaust. You
know you have serious power any time you want it, so you'll also be
glad you have power steering, front disc brakes, and the stout
Torqueflite A727 three-speed to easily have you harness this
beastly Charger. The suspension components are even new to really
give this a crisp feeling on the road.
Complete with build receipts, this is the freshly resorted
first-year Charger that offers power and personality. Don't miss
out on a great package like this. Call now!
