All-
This is a long shot, but my oldest brother (who passed away in May 2010) had a 1966 Charger when I was young. It's VIN indicated it was one of the first 1000 Chargers ever built with production #777. It was a 383 car, and my Dad...who also passed away in June, said it had a "Keith Black" 383 motor in it from the factory. My Dad had a way of spinning a story, so I am not sure if that would be a fact or simply a stretch of the truth. (Did that actually occur in 1966? Did Chrysler put special motors in cars in the innaugural year?)
They (my brother and Dad) rebuilt the motor in 1976 and my brother did a complete body restoration, changing the color from silver to a maroon color with black accents. I've got very fond memories of the car.
This car was a very instrumental vehicle for me and is one of the reasons why I am building a 66 Charger in his memeory.
Again...long shot...but I thought I would put this information on this site and ask: "Is this car still in existance?"
Thanks for your help.
