Mine has headrests

I know headrests did not become mandatory until late '69. But certainly doesn't mean they didn't exist. It looks great. My '69 GTX does not. And sure enough it was an earlier production build in '69. I think they add more interior appeal.

GREAT CAR!!!!!
GREAT STORY!!!!!!
I don't mind vinyl tops on our Mopars with the exception being the 66/67 Chargers, for what ever reason on those cars, I really dislike them.
That was until I saw THIS CHARGER!!!!!
WOW, just out of this world!!!!!!
I have also preferred the 66, as I dislike the seat emblems, and LOVE the 66 full length console,
But the head rests on this 67, just make it work for me!!!!
What a car!!!!

Its funny how a car or two can change a view? I never liked the fastback look of 67s. But I'm warming nicely.

Yes sir!!!
In 2004 at Mopar nats, I saw Petty's STP Charger, I have loved that Charger ever since!
And before I saw that car in person, I owned a 74 Charger, wish I would have painted it red and blue!!

67 was the first year headrests were available on B-body and A-body cars. And, strangely enough, you could order a right or left or both headrests.

Very nice looking car you have there. Mine doesn't look nearly as nice.

Thanks. Yes, 67 was the first year as an option. And there was a fellow I met at the 40th who had a 67 birthday special Charger with driver only headrest.
A body headrests were different from B body. You could get them on C body cars in 67 and those were the same as B body. Somewhere I have a pic of a Monaco or Polara 500 with buckets and the headrests.

Still looking for my pic, but on FCBO, here are 2 links, one is a for sale and the other Chrysler Imperial Lebaron.

A long time ago, a friend of mine bought a set of 67 A body buckets with headrests, from an original 67 GT. He put these in his 67 Coronet 500.
The headrests were the same as our Charger. Our Charger was ordered with both headrests.

Beautiful car very nice condition and IMO the best color too. Nice find, enjoy it.

Great looking car, like all the documentation that came along with it. Thanks for sharing!
Did not know Chargers were offered with dog dish hub caps.

There is a red L code 4spd up here in MN. The owner also has a '66 4spd Hemi.

And his 4 speed has manual brakes and manual steering!

As crazy as this sounds I recall looking at a car for sale quite some time ago that had a pass only headrest. It was a friend who was interested in the car and I was just tagging along. Was supposed to be a all original one owner type deal. When I saw that it only had one headrest I immediately said "somebody changed out the drivers seat ". I recall the seller stated "no it came like that ". Anyway it wasn't till many years later I learned it was possible. Didn't believe it at the time Friend didn't purchase.

Yes either right or left head rest‘s could be ordered or the pair.

 

[Bennoel 10]

Yes I agree but when I saw just the pass side and even now knowing it is possible to have ordered the car that way it just seemed wrong.

I liked the headrests and thought some of them looked pretty neat. My 66 Mustang Fastback had them but they looked like they were custom installed thought they were decent looking. . I dunno....but they were not the kind that just hung onto the seat back. Never did research on cars back then as I was only interested in beating on them
