1966 Dodge Charger w/440 for sale
http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/liquid.../ph//my_photos
I'm looking for $6K. Needs alot of clean-up and care all around. Solid simple car (440/727) with power to spare. 727 Auto (3-speed) 3.23 8 3/4 rear (may want to gear higher for highway use) Lot's of 3speed autos with OD that will bolt up now also. Around 3K rpm at 65mph. It's got 14" so maybe a 15" tire that is taller will help. 440 HP block Drum brakes, only the fronts are hooked up. 2 rust areas underneath that need work. It will need one of those Auto Rust Technicians frame patches welded in. The front is solid. Moog ball upper joints + tie rods (4) installed a week ago. The lowers really didn't look bad, but looks are deceiving. I should have replaced them but the 1st upper really wore me out. I actually bent the ball joint puller clamp on it. Dash guages don't electro-luminence (only the speedo is hooked up) Needs seat-belts, I have the old seats (very rough/unusable) Mustang 2 seats in now I think. Put in new front shocks. Have a set for the rear, but I didn't want to drop the tank to put them in. Trim is rough in areas. New Battery, Fuel filter, alternator. The picture shows coolant on the ground. The radiator on this car is original (I think=too small for a 440) and I put too much coolant in. When the engine got to operating temp it started to puke some out the overflow tube. Needs premium gas and I have always added a lead additive type to boost the octane and to keep the valves clean. Runs great at 60/70/80 degrees but doesn't like sitting at lights when it's warmer than that. There is a hum that comes through the front end also at 45+ MPH, it's enough to hum the tach on the steering column, but doesn't get any worse than that. I always thought it was a driveshaft balance issue, but my dad said no. I also have a spare 383 core with 727 for this car. extra M/T valve covers. Tires are in VG shape. Rear bumper should be replaced. Green Bay, WI Also have a 58 Buick Super (2-door, 364 FireBall V8) that is way more solid. Needs paint. One tail piece is damaged from an accident at one time. Speedo doesn't work. Both of these cars have been sitting 5+ years. I haven't started up the Buick yet. Willing to sell to someone that has interest and is willing to put work into these type of cars. Unless you do a frame-off restoration and powdercoat everything the maintenance is pretty much constant. But with Rockauto.com, car-parts.com and Charger Forums the info and parts are out there for people with the time, interest, and are willing to commit some learning and work. I don't really have the time for them anymore and my family has lost interest. Last edited by panzer dragoon; 10-27-2005 at 08:24 PM. |
