I purchased car from family that purchased the car new in 1966. 

A great candidate for daily diver or restoration.  Car will need work before it can be driven.

I bought this car earlier this year in Arkansas.  It was a one family owned and unrestored.  The car is sold “as is” and is detailed with pictures and details below.

History

Car was originally bought in Virginia (see dealer tag on decklid).  That owner moved to Dallas in theMid-Seventies and drove the car until it was given to his Sister in the late-Seventies to early-Eighties.  The car was then passed on to the Son of the Sister of the original owner.  He drove the car throughout the eighties and nineties as a second car. He painted the car in its current color in the late eighties/early nineties and kept the car in running/drivable condition. He parked it sometime in the nineties and kept it garaged until he gave it to his step-son a few early ago. 

Current Condition 

Engine/Trans/Mechanicals: The car is as depicted in thepictures.  Car has over 140,000 miles on it.  Odometer stopped working according to last driver in mid-nineties just prior to the car being parked.  The car was not running when I got it, but after adjusting the points, cleaning the sparkplugs, correcting the spark plug firing order, fixing the accelerator pump in the carb, I was able toget the engine to run.  It runs fairly smooth, but I have no way to know its internal condition.  The transmission seems to be fine, and will move as necessary in forward/reverse.  I have not taken this car on the road.  Car charges and A/C system does not seem to function, but is charged and is underpressure with Freon.

Brakes:  Brakes needwork.

Tires:  Tires are over20 years old and need replacing

Exterior:  Speaking to the previous owner, the car was painted once around 20-25 years ago.  The paint job is poor.  There are a few spots where there are some rust bubbles coming through, but they are minimal based on the number or years ago this was painted.  These spots are all the traditional trouble areas with 1966 Dodge Chargers.  Additionally, it appears that the lower passenger Quarter panel had been repaired in the past and is cracking (see pic).  This is the worst exterior part of thecar.  The back window leaks, but does not appear to be rusted and the rear window trim is missing.  Also, the trunk is slightly rusted in two small areas.  I believe it would need twosmall patches to repair.   Floor pansappear to be solid.  However, I cannot guarantee what is under the paint, since there is no way to know withoutremoving the paint.  Glass is in goodshape with the exception of the Windshield (cracked).  All the exterior trim (except rear window) is intact with some minor denting.  Top passenger fender trim is heavily dented. Rotating headlights do not operate, but all parts appear to be intact (relays, limit switches and motors).

Interior: Electroluminescence works for all gauges.  Does not work for A/C, radio and shifter.  Speedometer, Tachometer and Gas Gauge do no tappear to function.   Seats, carpet and door panels are in fairly good shape. The passenger seat has a tear.

CAR HAS CLEAN TITLE AND SOLD “AS IS”

An inside look at Mopar's SEMA fleet

Fri, 31 Oct 2014

Mopar is heading to the SEMA show in Las Vegas with a fleet of customized vehicles that appeal to enthusiasts of all stripes. There's a Dodge Viper ACR concept that follows in the lineage of the supercar's great road racing past, and a custom Ram ProMaster that might just be the ultimate outdoor party machine.
We got an inside look at Mopar's cars that will be on display at the show, which also include a Dodge Challenger T/A concept, two crazy Jeeps and a Ram 2500 Outdoorsman that could change the way you camp. While these are some of our favorites, Mopar is bringing plenty to SEMA, so let us know your top choices in the comments section.

2015 Dodge Challenger gets 6.4L 485-HP V8 Scat Pack

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

While it's not seeing the drastic facelift of its brother, the Charger, at the 2014 New York Auto Show, the 2015 Challenger is packing some upgrades of its own. It wears even more retro-inspired styling cues, and there are new 6.4-liter Scat Pack and Shaker trims.
If you thought the Challenger looked retro before, Dodge is taking things even farther with inspiration for the refresh coming from the iconic 1971 model. Up front, it has a new split grille, a larger power bulge in the hood and projector fog lights. At the rear, the classic inspiration continues with split LED taillights with Gloss Black trim, and a rear valance panel redesigned to make the 2015 model look wider and lower.
The '71 motif is carried inside as well with a high-sill center console and aluminum gauge bezels. There's still more than a touch of modernity, with an available 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment system and 7-inch customizable display between the retro-inspired speedometer and tachometer. For better safety, the Challenger is also now available with forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross path detection. Stability control and electric power steering are standard across all models too.

General Lee Dodge Charger replica jumps Dukes of Hazzard-style in Downtown Detroit

Sun, Feb 26 2017

Ouch. That was our first reaction after we saw the video up above, in which stunt driver Raymond Kohn goes full-on Bo and Luke Duke in a specially prepared Dodge Charger right in the middle of Downtown Detroit. The jump looks good – and, courtesy of the whistling-Dixie horn of the Charger, sounds good, too – until you see the landing. Like we said, ouch. The ramp stood just five feet tall, but since the bright orange '69 Charger was traveling around 55 miles per hour when it launched, the car soared 25 feet in the air over a distance of 134 feet. That's pretty impressive. Apparently, the car was modified to take the brunt of the landing forces at impact to help keep Kohn safe (relatively speaking, of course). The stunt was a promotion for the 65th annual Autorama Show, which is taking place this weekend at the Cobo Center in Detroit. Scroll down to watch a video interview with Kohn that was shot right after the stunt, and stick around till the end to see the automotive carnage close up. This content is hosted by a third party.
