Well, as much as I like the 66-67 Chargers I have to take issue with what you have posted here.
1. The article was written in 2006 which was the absolute top of the market.
2. The car did not sell.
3. The article is about a 1966 but they picture it with a 1969? What is up
with that?
4. Who ever wrote this did little research as many of the things written are
not correct or have no factual backup.
A. "It is believed that only two Dodge Chargers with a Hemi engine,
four-speed manual gearbox, silver exterior,
and red interior are known to exist in modern times."
According to who? There are no factory records to
prove how many in any combination of equipment and color exist let
alone any information that would indicate how many remain.
B. "The Charger was designed and built to combat other marque’s muscle
cars such as the Barracuda and the Mustang. Their 2+2 design and
street performance had been gaining much popularity and Dodge
wanted in on the action."
Not even close. The Charger was produced to compete with other
midsize luxury sports cars such as the T-Bird, Grand Prix, Riviara,
Toronado, and the Eldorado.
C. " Optional was the 361 and 426 cubic-inch Hemi, available in various
configurations."
They seemed to have forgotten the most popular optional engine at
this time, the 383-4.
D. "The 426 Hemi produced 425 horsepower and would set the buyer
back $1000."
While the Hemi option was expensive it was $880. not $1000.
Groundpounder asks what it is worth, promises pictures, doesn't answer the questions that will reflect its true value and then disappears what is up with that?
