For Sale: Not Mine 1966 Charger Hemi 4 speed coming to GAA auction July 24-26

[Dean Prevolos]

I just happened upon this website and they have a 1966 Charger Hemi 4 speed console coming to auction at No Reserve in July. I of 468 made that year, the car looks complete and original.
White with red interior makes it stand out. See link below for photos. I thought it may be worth posting to our Forum.

Nice car but definitely, not all original I see touches everywhere.. Nice car though.

Pretty nice looking on top. Hope they don’t lose the plastic plug from the door laying in the doors threshold.

Such as?

Since you ask, battery, wiring looks really stunning with the aftermarket ends on it, alternator looks from a generic part store, hose clamps and upper hose, the zip tie near the battery , the click clack fuel pump on the passenger side rail is a nice touch to saying we want it right, shall I continue? Would I drive it yup! After I repair the safety issues and make it reliable.

I think the fuel pump may actually be the 66 correct, non-integrated windshield washer pump. How ever the zip tie and wire loosely securing the battery to the car is very classic Bubba. If you can’t afford to put a correct and inexpensive batter hold down clamp on the tray, where else did they cheap out on?

Looks like a edelbrock from orielly that I’ve used before.. I just glanced and I still appreciate it but the lack of quality repairs on a hemi car is disappointing.

And the random red 10g wire going across the battery to who knows where, probably the fuel pump. The random zip tie is doing nothing so I'm wondering why it is even on there? You are correct, you can barely see the corner of the red electric fuel pump down on top of the passenger front of the framerail with a filter before it, like a GM quadrajet filter it looks like. And the alternator pulley could be easily swapped out for the correct single pulley. And the terminal ends tell me whoever owned this knew zip about cars and didn't know they weren't correct.
I just saw a cool old hemi car still all in one piece that would take a little elbow grease and some detailing to make perfect or just drive it as is. Most of the car shows and cruise ins around me, the guys who attend know nothing about cars, they just bought one to be cool and because it's 'different'. Oh, they're internet schooled on production numbers and how much power they make but if it quits running by the side of the road, they're calling AAA. You and I would be out there rigging it to limp home.

OK - in the video I did see the red fuel pump so I was wrong thinking it was a reference to the washer pump. Definitely another cheap out repair move.

It has potential at the right price but an auction is probably not the best place for that to happen.

You mean it will sell for too much or not enough?

 

[AR67GTX]

Could be either - owner will set too high of reserve or a buyer will have to many margaritas and pay too much. Car like that is best bought by negotiation IMO.
