Hemmings Find of the Day – 1966 Dodge Charger

Published by Mike on June 18, 2013

Though second-generation Dodge Chargers get the bulk of the attention (thanks, perhaps, to the car’s starring role in the 1968 Steve McQueen classic, Bullitt and in a certain long-running TV show about some good ol’ boys), the first generation fastback Chargers were, in the eyes of some, the best looking of all. This 1966 Dodge Charger for sale on Hemmings.com looks particularly good wearing period-correct Cragar SS mag wheels, although the original wheels are available, too. It’s got a mildly enhanced 440-cu.in. V-8, as well as a new transmission, rear end and brakes. It’s even freshly painted, meaning that the next owner need only enjoy the car. From the seller’s description:
