1966 DODGE CHARGER 2 DOOR FASTBACK – AUTO – 96,706 MILES SHOWING
One of 7,300 Chargers built by Dodge in 1966.
This vehicle was imported to Australia a few years ago and we hold a copy of the Australian Government Import Approval dated the 11th of March 2011.
Presenting in an Off White (almost Cream) colour with Red interior trim.
Dodge’s response to a mid-sixties (and very temporary) craze for fastbacks, the Charger was derived from the Coronet running gear with styling cues from the Charger and Charger 2 show cars. Popular features included hidden headlights, full width tail lights and a fore-to-aft centre console which limited seating strictly to four.
These were combined with genuinely useful features like bucket seats and a pleasing fastback shape with fold-down rear seats that created a huge cargo area.
The Charger did not look as hastily contrived as such rivals as the Rambler Marlin, Ford Mustang and Plymouth Barracuda. Various engine options were available on release, from the vary reliable Chrysler 318cc V8 up to the 426cc Hemi.
This example is powered by the 318cc (5.2Lt) V8 engine, it produced when new 230bhp (171.5Kw) of power, delivered to the rear wheels via 3 speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission. Performance figures suggest 0-100kph in 9.0 secs and a top speed near 165kph.
