Dodge 'officially' jumped into the muscle car race with the Coronet Super Bee in 1968. It was an instant success, mainly because MOPAR had been building performance cars for years, just not marketed them as muscle cars. This 1966 Dodge Charger 383 is a perfect example of an earlier MOPAR performance machine.
Our fully restored (2013) 1966 Charger is a rare classic, even more noteworthy because of its 383/4-speed drivetrain configuration. Even though the engine and the transmission were replaced, it was restored and it is as original as possible, the engine/transmission configuration being maintained. It has received a professional respray of Bright Red, all original chrome/stainless is in excellent condition and the factory spinner wheel covers are stunning. Its totally refreshed vinyl interior is also in excellent condition.
The 383ci V8 engine was rated at 325hp and sits in a spotless engine compartment. An Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold and Holley 4-barrel carburetor were also added and is backed by a A-833 4-speed manual transmission.
Like many MOPARs of the era the Charger is equipped with manual steering and manual 4-wheel drum brakes. Hoses, belts, battery and exhaust have all been serviced. Our Charger strikes a nice stance on factory 14” steel wheels with Vercelli Classic whitewall radials.
