If you didn't find what you were looking for at Mecum or you didn't want to pay the high prices, here's a chance to acquire a classic Mopar at a reasonable price and not be one of the seven '69 Camaros at your next car show.
The 1967 Dodge Charger became part of the growing number of midsize muscle cars, but with a twist. The 1966-67 Chargers featured fold-down rear bucket seats and a rear center console, all with carpeted backs to create a larger area for storage located beneath its fastback rear window. Originally delivered to Downey Dodge in Downey, California with the White Hat Special dealer package, this gorgeous and rare Turbine Copper Metallic example from that second and final season of this body styling came with additional special equipment that helps it stand apart from the horsepower herd. The market has found these first-generation Chargers that are still affordable compared to their second-gen '68-'69 brothers that easily hit the $100,000+ mark.
This is a factory performance turquoise-blue 383 CI V-8 engine featuring the 4-barrel carburetor (62) beneath the dual-snorkel air cleaner (471). This engine package is actually noted on the fender-mounted chrome tags and on the original window sticker. The factory air conditioning (411) has been further updated with a modern air conditioning compressor and electronic ignition for ease of operation, The A727 Torqueflite 3-speed automatic transmission (395) backs this up and this car has a Sure-Grip differential (408) as well. Power steering (358) and power brakes (451) round out the drivetrain and suspension.
The car features a gorgeous Turbine Copper Metallic (TT1) exterior with a complimentary copper (S6K) vinyl interior. The metallic paint in the sun is just stunning. It was also a White Hat Special dealer package (358), featuring fender-mounted turn signal indicators, deluxe whitewalls and wheel cover,s and a sport steering wheel. The premiums do not end there. This is a first-year bucket seat/buddy front seat (485) combined with a column shift AND in-dash tachometer! It also comes with factory air conditioning (411), power windows (458), a push-button Music Master radio (421), tinted glass on all the windows (521) and pedal dress-ups. Riding on steel wheels with deluxe tri-point spinner hubcaps that were part of the White Hat Special dealer option and Hercules H/P 4000 white-letter tires, it looks the part of a 1960s performance car.
Included provenance for this Charger are the original window sticker, and vintage Dodge car advertisements. The 1967 Charger, with competition from many quarters that year, would be the lowest-ever production year for this model with less than 16,000 cars created during the entire run. Given this car’s quite exclusive options and color, one of few so equipped, today it is an outstanding representation of the 1960s Dodge Charger era.
