For Sale: 1966 Dodge Charger in Atlanta, Georgia

Vehicle Description

This 1966 Charger was acquired by the current owner in late 2013 as a very solid, nicely maintained car. Originally a big block (361) car, by this time it had the typical RV 440 swap. In the spring of 2014, the car was mechanically stripped down, and Front and Rear suspension from Reilly Motorsports was fitted, with Viking shocks and springs tuned for Touring. Brakes are Wilwood on all 4 corners, with 6 piston Front and 4 piston rear calipers working with 14" rotors in the front and 13" in the rear. On the pedal is a Wilwood master cylinder with power assist via hydraboost from Hydratech. This car has power steering (using an LS1 style pump for easy maintenance), power brakes and air conditioning. AC uses factory 66 Charger vents on the dash, adapted to the formerly heat only car. Compressor is the factory unit from the 6.4 Hemi. Important for the accessories and maintenance, the factory 6.4 belt is retained, on the off chance there's a failure it is easy to source. Engine itself was sourced from a wrecked nearly new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, and is a low mileage 6.4 HEMI unit. Engine control is by HotWire auto, using a factory computer and wiring isolated from the original car with its own fuse blocks. This is connected to a recently rebuilt 727 Torqueflite supplied by Bouchillon Performance with a slightly higher stall converter. Behind that is a Gear Vendors overdrive unit, with both the "automatic" and manual engagement options, the switch concealed in the dash ashtray. Rear gear is a 3.90, with an Eaton Truetrack. Exhaust is via ceramic coated TTI headers into a TTI 2.5 Exhaust system in the factory style. The former cigarette lighter now controls exhaust cutouts with a flick of the wrist for extra amusement. New fuel tank, and an Aeromotive in-tank pump run via an easy to maintain Corvette-style filter/regulator to supply fuel. Dual electric fans are managed by a controller from Delta Current Control, and keep the engine cool (and air conditioning happy) in all conditions. This car has done 5 Hot Rod Power tour events, and is a comfortable, fast, good handling cruiser. Some suspension and tweaks would make it a better handling car, but it's always been used for covering miles. For those used to the 66/67 Charger, the headlamps and tail lamps work as intended. Interior is in good original shape, new carpets were in the plans but never procured or fitted. Car includes a very rare complete set of restored and rechromed dash plastics, never fitted. Under the drivers seat is a concealed stereo with remote, a single stereo speaker in the dash and a removable speaker box in the rear for those road trips. The car has won numerous local awards, and got the "Wildcard" trophy at the inaugural Caffeine and Octane At The Beach event. The gear vendors install was featured in Chrysler Power magazine, and the car can be seen in many years of Power Tour coverage by Hot Rod Magazine over the years, including a pick as one of Kenny Wayne Shepherds favorites. . https://fb.watch/pPpRORakkp/?
