1966 Dodge Charger 2 door fastback hardtop with 361 V8 engine. The late owner purchased this car in 2019 from a local man who had owned it since 1970s if not when new. This gentleman had actually sold it in 1980 it to another local gentleman for his daughter’s car. But they did not keep it long because he decided it was too much of a car for her and so he sold it back to the original owner who kept it until 2019. The VIN is XP29F61296818. It was assembled in the Lynch Road assembly plant in Detroit, MI. The odometer currently reads 33,947.6 miles but more likely it is 133,947 miles but we are not able to confirm one way or another. The original exterior color was black. It was repainted in 2023 with this office Chrysler color of the era. It still has its original black and white interior (see photos on condition).

Since purchased in 2019, it has had a transmission rebuild (2021), an engine rebuild (2021), brakes (turn front drums, front shoes replaced, replaced bearings, wheel cylinders, replaced rear shoes, wheel cylinders), radiator work, new bushings and ball joint work, power steering work (replaced pump with reservoir, water pump u-joints work. In purchasing this car and all the work he paid to have done to this car, the late owner spent over $15,000 on it. It comes with two sets of keys. There is a file of work records for this car. The car does drive and it is current with registration. Even though there has been a lot of work, time and money invested in this car but the late owner, it is far from being perfect. The paint job was basically a spray job. It has areas of over spray especially in the engine bay and some areas of not good coverage (the front edge of the hood for example). The body panels show evidence of hail damage during close inspections. There is an exhaust leak near the engine. The engine does run strong, and especially after we filled up the gas tank with ethanol free unleaded gasoline. The brakes seem soft and the line needs to be bled. The headlights work but they are currently not able to rotate as hideaway headlights. The interior is original. It can be cleaned up and used as a classic 'barn find'. The radio has been updated with a 'retro radio'. The back bucket set behind the driver currently does not fold back up. LOT 225 has two new pearl white bucket seat upholstery replacement kits from Legendary Auto Interior that the late owner had intended to install in this car. It has a clear title. This car is being offered with no guaranties and offered as is. OUT OF STATE BUYERS WILL HAVE TO PAY BY BANK WIRE.
