A local fellow is thinking of selling this 66' Charger and I'm trying to determine what it might be worth before giving him an offer on it. I would appreciate ideas on what you think this car should be valued at.
The car was purchased new locally by his uncle in 1966 and has been in his family ever since. I think the miles were 80,000 something. The car is almost all original. It has been repainted twice, has new seat covers from Legandary (original door panels and headliner), new master cylinder, new exhaust and belts hoses etc. The only thing that stands out as being not original is the Edlebrock 4 bbl carb. Original 383 auto (never apart) with power steering and factory air. Original motor, transmission and rear end with Sure Grip. The motor starts easy and runs nice and quiet with no indication of buring oil and the transmission ssems to work fine. The body has no rust that I can find but there is one area on the passenger side rear roof pillar where the paint has bubbled up in two areas the size of quarters of more. The ower told me it bubbled like this the first repaint and he took it back to be repainted and it bubbled again (I'm thinking there might be a seam there?). The current paint is nice other than the one bubbled area. It does look like whoever did the surface prep before paint did not use a long block to keep it nice and smooth but really not too bad. The only paper work is the original manual and service certicard (he has not looked under the seats for a build sheet). Here are some pictures:
