1966 Charger 383 History

[jachez]

This is a long shot… but I recently bought my 66 Charger with a 383 and white interior from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan from Rods Hotrods who had the car on consignment from a guy who won the car at the Saskatoon Kinsmen Club Raffle a couple of years ago.. Unfortunately this is all I know about this car and would love it if someone out there knows this car and has any other history of it…. Window tint is new by me.. looks like newer vinyl seats and carpet but original trims and panels etc..

 

[jachez]

If anyone knows anything at all… I would really appreciate hearing about it..

All I know is it's a good looking Charger. Sorry couldn't be any help.

Good luck with your search. I hope someone can help you fill in the blanks.
My situation with my RR is similar, not much history came with the car when I bought it.
I know a bit of it's history back to 2015. And hardly anything at all prior to that.

I can't help with the history.
But I would really suggest you change the master cylinder to a 67 up style.

Thanks. Hopefully you can find some more answers along the way as well!

Why is that? Prone to leaks?

Thats Great!! Thank you for your information! That must have been before the raffle I’m guessing…

The raffle was July of 2024 I guess, so that must have been the kinsmen club that brought that car there for the work.

Its a single point of failure.
The master dies and you have no brakes.
(The most important thing on your car)
The parking brake is almost useless and people rarely think to try it and can't actuate it quickly enough or just lock up the rears which can cause a spin.
A dual chamber master cylinder is a good idea.

Yes I'd heard about it being a raffle car at that point.

Okay. I appreciate your input. Thank you! I probably wouldn’t have thought to do that until it was too late.

Great, thanks! I’ll try and reach out to them as well and see what they know.
