Dodge Charger 1966 Description

1966 Dodge Charger Restored, Built 383 with 3-speed auto. Red over black/white. Comprehensive Restoration completed in 2014. Non-numbers matching engine. The restoration began with stripping the car to bare metal and soda blasting the body to remove any non-metal fillers. The body was in such nice shape, only the LH quarter panel was replaced with new. A stunning red finish now covers the smooth, straight sheet metal. All chrome and stainless trim and emblems were either polished, re-chromed or replaced with new. Original bumpers were removed, stripped and re-chromed (triple plated). Car retains its original glass and has new seals and weather-stripping throughout. Undercarriage was undercoated lightly. PERFORMANCE: The 318 motor has been replaced with a BUILT 383, bored and stroked to 434ci with 10:1 compression. New lifters and a larger cam and electronic ignition were also fitted. High performance intake manifold and Edelbrock 750 carb now feeds the powerful American Iron. Cooling comes from a Mopar Big-block 22” direct fit aluminum radiator and electric fan kit –a new engine fan is also in place. An all-new wiring harness was installed. OEM remanufactured power steering pump and alternator were used. The rear axle is a NEWLY REBUILT Mopar 8 ¾ with Sure Grip posi 3.91 gearing. A 4-wheel disc brake conversion was fitted with new lines, hoses and cables.
