I got a ’66 Charger with a Commando 383-4 bbl. But if you’ve had a hankering for a first-generation (1966-67) Charger, this might just be yours to take on. The engine is not noted as original, though listed as a 440. The wheels might not be to your tastes-I’d take almost anything but these-but that’s easily changed. The headlight doors work, which is a proxy for general maintenance and upkeep.
1967 THUNDERBIRD FOR SALE NEAR ME DRIVERS
Under the hood looks at least as good as most of the drivers we feature on this site, and while there’s no photographic evidence as to the claim of freedom from rust, if that’s true, both in the body and underneath, this might be a candidate for a daily driver as-is. Who’s going to figure out this bureaucratic tangle, and how much in back fees are going to be owed by the person who next puts this bad boy on the road?Īnd that’s about it, really. The car is said to be an original California unit, but the title is in Tennessee now. But an interior can be gutted and redone in a couple of intense weekends. Whose idea was it to replace the factory vinyl with that velour, even if the same fabric pattern was retained? Now I see why some restoration might be in the car’s immediate future. You might then ask yourself why the seller calls this a “true barn find”? It looks pretty put together to me.
It might not be accurate to factory, but if it’s not distressed, why not just drive? Note that in some images, the surface looks crazed, but that might be reflections, too, so you’d need to make some inquiries or get the seller to send you some shots not taken in direct sun. But the paint on this Charger, aside from being too shiny, doesn’t look too bad. That is where many projects that end up on Barn Finds go so far off the rails, and end up sitting for years, waiting to be found. So what are the twists? Well for one, you can’t really ever “drive while you restore,” because at some point, you’re going to have to pull the car off the road for paint. The car currently sits in Prattsburgh, which looks to be somewhat halfway between Buffalo and Ithaca. But if this Charger catches your fancy, it can be yours for $22,500, or whatever you can negotiate the seller down to. The twist? There are a bunch of them the harder you look.
