      "People get so hung up about originality" You're right on, and I think this attitude is going to change in the long run. If I'm going to daily drive this, even as a weekender, I'd definitely look to put some upgrades in this for safety, comfort and performance reasons. I'm all for originality - but sometimes it just makes sense to continue to enjoy it.

      @@velvetsmack2645 - Over the years many parts and solutions are superior to old OEM. The idea that I should put old crappy rubber hoses and a lead acid battery or suffer with a cassette deck or a ten pound a/c compressor just because it came that way is stupid. I can understand not butchering things or changing the intent of the manufacturer in a major way but to obsess over hose clamps and the right color cadmium (which you can’t even get anymore) bolts is ridiculous.

      So the story is that several of this era of cars had more cargo room than met the eye. 1st gen fastback Mustangs had back seats that would fold down forward supposedly flat and leave an enormous cargo area, same with the Valiant, which is the precursor to the Barracuda. Then again, inn my 1968 Country Squire you could fit a whole sheet of 4x8 plywood and close the tailgate. In a car. And then haul ass. Modern SUVs can suck it.

    I'll always have a soft spot for these for a sad reason. @ 1980 My Dad had picked up a very nice 66 with either the 318 or 360, white with red interior for very little. He was out of state for a while, I flew to Montana and drove it back to Colorado at @17 years old. The day after getting it home, I made a stupid left/u-turn on a 4-lane road and got t-boned by a 1.5 ton flatbed. When done, I could hold the steering wheel, spread my elbows out and could almost touch both sides of the interior. Very lucky I survived. I know it soured my relationship with my Dad for a long time after. I was so sad to try to part out a very nice car with that tailight bringing the most money.

    November of 1982 bought a 66 Charger for $800, my intent was to build a short track race car. The seller said it was a big block car, maybe even a hemi. When I bought it the engine was an old wide block 318 and the seller gave me a 426 hemi he had sitting next to his garage. The fender tag showed the original engine was a 361. I built a race car out of it, pulling the 318 and installed a 440 from an ex sheriffs car. The fifth race of the year I was hit by a car that was spinning and knocked into the front stretch wall. The impact ripped the right front suspension and most of the subframe from the car. Plus I flipped over onto the roof and was hit in the driver's door by another car. Hauled the car home and parked it next to a 69 Charger body I had. Spent a week moving everything from one car to the other. The next Saturday night I was back on the track. I sold the hemi to a guy running top alcohol funny cars for $2000.

    @cudak888 Před rokem +2

    $40k sounds over the top for anything other than the auction circuit or a BaT listing with two overeager bidders. Nothing against the car itself, but if we're going to be serious about value, we need to be serious about the flaws that aren't receiving the highlight they should in this video. Most notably, the paint job: Yes, we've been told the paint is really thin, but it's clearly an old single-stage job. It's not well sprayed, full of orange peel - especially on the bodysides - and it is so porous that the pores are visible to the eye (look at the opening shot with the 383 badge). Decklid closeup shows that there's already pinhole rust forming under the paint due to this porosity. If it spent just a week in a humid climate, it'd break out in rust all over the place, turning a $40k Charger into a $12k Charger in immediate need of $10k in rust repairs and refinishing.
    Also, the driver's side cowl is holding water and rotten. Look at the cowl above the firewall seam (near the master cylinder) at 4:03. Major work needs to happen there; doesn't matter that everything around it looks nice. It'll take a lot of time and dirty work to fix that too.
    Plus, steering wheel is cracked, the aluminum sections of the brightwork (grill surround, specifically) has some minor dents in it, and there's probably a host of other things you can't see in this video that betray the fact that while this is a very nice survivor, it's by no means perfect. Not to say this is a "problem," after all, beausage is it's own beauty. Perfection would ruin the fun of a '66 Charger as a daily.
    But the fact remains that it _really_ needs that cowl fixed and a full refinish just to make sure it _stays_ nice. That paint job is a ticking time bomb and the appraisal should reflect this. Unfortunately, it's reflecting that the current market remains ignorant and willing to throw too much money at a vehicle as it looks in the moment, with zero consideration of paint as a maintenance item that'll make or break whether that sheet metal remains nice (assuming, of course, that the quarters and other problem areas haven't already been patched, and - of course - the gamble as to whether these patches were executed properly or fixed with excessive filler).
    Incidentally, major props to whoever made the decision to put the later FMJ master cylinder on the firewall with the adapter plate. These actually work and hold fluid; the steel rebuilds and even the new steel ones turn to junk in a matter of months. Not even referring to the bare steel outside (you can always spray that), referring to constant leaks out the rear seal and the top of the master. They're simply not worth it if you want a reliable driver, and the FMJ master solves it all. The modern circular cap reservoir means you can easily pressure bleed them too.

      the odd part of these Chargers is, how its put together. the stance, the rumble, wheels, tires, color. they all come together to either hit or miss.
      i love mine, but i spent serious time planning her look. the factory wheels and tires definitely took away from the design. i think this is why they didn't sell so well. it looked like a huge frame on spindly supports with vast amounts of empty space in the wheel area.
      i filled the wheel wells with 18x12 in rear and 18x10 up front. leveled it out and lifted with tighter springs/torsion twist. added the 64 max wedge scoop to break up the huge hood of empty space. she was born a 318, (now aluminum head 440) and will never be a show winner, but i'll never pull up to a light and see an identical.
      just like any car, its all about how it makes you feel.

    Nice looking car and the 4 speed makes it. I own a 1967 Charger Hemi 4 speed, one of 58 made in 1967. I bought it three years ago and have gone through the car extensively. The 66-67 Chargers are really unique, there are differences between the 66 and 67 that one finds out when trying to find parts. Even the bellhousing on a 66 Hemi 4 speed is different from a 67 Hemi 4 speed . The starter for the 67 Hemi is a one year only, solenoid on the bottom, very hard to find. I like the black on black. MIne is Gold on Gold, I am told by Galen Govier that there were only 3 Gold 4 speed Hemi cars made in 1967 and 2 of those cars had black interior and only one had gold interior. It appears I have the one of one. I'm not sure what it is worth but Colin would know. Enjoy the Hagerty channel, it always brings out the best in cars.

    All the things that have been changed add to driveability, and can all be turned back original in a couple weekends.....well I guess the brakes maybe not. But modern wheels and tires make all the difference in driveability for sure.

    I am always rooting for lower numbers to make cool cars more available to people, BUT this car is really worth quite a bit. I don't know how much of a PITA it will be to get that heating and AC working with a model/year correct installation, but that needs to happen asap. I could see 40K for this car being a not-so-foolish purchase, but this is in the price range where there are a lot of nice options. Didn't the '66 have electroluminescent lighting in locations on the instrument panel? I wonder if that works.
    Great car!

    The Baracuda that preceeded these Chargers is the one I've always admired. Same basic car, just a little smaller from what I remember. 383 4bbl. and a 4 sp. with a sure grip rear-end. With some modern appointments it can still be alot of fun. Everyone debates what the first true musclecar was? Chrysler C300 in 1955.
