Nice looking 66. Can someone please explain the 68 side marker lights?

Looks like a great car. Original owner.

 

[RemCharger]

Yup she's nice!

Sure. Someone liked the 68 marker lights so they installed them.

They're round

Can’t get much better than that - has to top $100,000, maybe significantly. Original factory undercoated car but no under hood silencer pad. I would be curious if it came that way or he just decided to leave the pad off.

The early Chargers were "hurt" in some respects by the perfection of the 68-70 Charger styling. If those later models didn't exist they'd probably be held in higher regard. That '66 is a beauty, great color combo, the interior is something special too, shame they are only 4 seaters (if you have 3 kids).

Now there's a line I've never heard before

In 67 you could get a column shift with a mother-in-law seat and carry 5.

Sarcasm or true?
When I bought my Satellite there was a big block Charger there too. 4 seats killed it for me.
Funny thing is in 5 years of being on the road I've had the whole family in there about 3 times...

Not being sarcastic. It's one of the many coolest parts of that car. The designers made it that way for a reason.
There was 5 seaters available from chyrsler Corp. And 6 seaters. Hell they even made 9 seaters for the catholic groups

I like them too. I put them on my 73 Charger. The factory marker lights on 73 Chargers look like they belong on a utility trailer at Harbor Freight!

Its had some owner customization for sure. 67 Turn signals, 67 Wheels ( both of which are a super easy fix of so desired ) the 68 Side Markers would be a little harder to rectify

I personally don't like the hood pads so would leave it off as well. Same for the under coating


This car would make for a killer garage mate for mine. And its close enough I could consider a day trip up and drive it back home. But no way am I in a position to make a bid for it
