Looks like LL1, but could be GG1. Sold our 383 LL1 when we bought the GG1.

Nice car I really dig the hood scoop and the rims mean looking! Very cool car!

I saw 15 inch wheels with the outer rings of 14 inch wheels welded to them so they could accept original hub caps, but have the choice of 15 inch tires. Now, years later like the 14's, there are few 15 inch tire choices. Is there a 16 or 17 inch by 4.5 wheel one could weld 14 inch parts to?

Actually I don't know.
I was told when I bought it that it was a Chrysler color from the 70's.
(That's if memory serves me correctly)

The top of the front fenders and hood were both repainted at two different times.
A fire under the hood in 2000 and a hood change a couple years ago.
Both match fairly well with the rest of the body which was painted around 1978 from what I was told.

Thanks!

Thanks. What are you running on the rear? I don’t want to do any cutting or rolling of the lip.

66 Chargers have huge wheel wells I think my tire is 15” 9.1/2 wide could take a 10 inch tire maybe on the rear Fronts are 15’s no problem

These Chargers have Large wheel Wells!

My Engine bay needs a detail after visiting several shows this summer! I might pull the motor Paint it rebuild the Tansmission thought about Passon Overdrive gear but have little to go on other than an article? Maybe just rebuild new seals and check it out.

What makes this Charger cool is I get in it and haul as! Four Speeds handle unlike any other Muscle Cars just something special when It comes to speed and handling.
