Vehicle Description
This gorgeous 1966 charger is a true survivor, finished in what is
believed to be mostly original factory yellow paint and original
interior. As a highly-optioned and well-cared for example, this
Charger is one fine muscle car sure to catch the attention of any
Mopar collector. Let's delve into what makes this vintage gem truly
exceptional.
Originality and Matching Numbers:
This Charger, driven just over 53,000 miles, proudly boasts its
originality with a matching motor and transmission. Beneath its
sleek exterior lies a numbers-matching powertrain, preserving the
authentic spirit of this iconic car. Its 318 CID V8 engine and
3-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission, mated to an 8.75-inch
Chrysler rear differential, promise a drive reminiscent of the
golden age of muscle cars.
Factory-Equipped Luxury:
Equipped with sought-after factory features like air conditioning
and power steering, this Mopar offers both comfort and performance.
These factory options enhance the overall driving experience,
making it a great driver you can take anywhere.
Immaculate Interior:
Step inside, and you'll find a meticulously preserved, original
black interior that exudes elegance. The unblemished seat
upholstery and well-kept carpeting showcase the care that has gone
into preserving this Charger's beauty over the years. The driver's
seat was reupholstered with Legendary vinyl. The unique factory
console that spans the passenger compartment separates four bucket
seats, and they can fold down to create a flat luggage
compartment-a design characteristic exclusive to the '66 and '67
Charger models. The race-inspired factory gauges continue to
function flawlessly, while the original AM/FM radio remains a
charming feature. And when it comes to beating the heat, the
factory air conditioning still blows ice-cold, a testament to its
exceptional condition.
Preservation and Provenance:
This Charger has been sheltered indoors throughout its life,
originating in Arizona. This commitment to preservation extends to
the undercarriage and floors, which have an undercoating in good
condition. The current owner has put in a new starter, timing
chain, water pump, oil pump, dual master cylinder, and rebuilt the
front suspension with Mopar improved handling torsion bars. While a
current upgrade from a 2-barrel to a 4-barrel carburetor and intake
manifold enhances performance, this Charger remains a true time
capsule-a captivating relic of 1966.
Cruising around in this beauty is like being transported in a time
capsule. With its storied history and impeccable care, it's not
just a car; it's a piece of American motoring culture, ready to
transport you back in time to a bygone era. Hello USA and 1966, we
have landed. Take us to your leader!
