No argument from me on the color combo.
IMO, it doesn't get any better than black with red guts. But I might me a little biased
This is the 1st early Charger Ive seen that could make me consider one. I could live with the mods. Even the side markers ( for a while then they would go )

Looks like it was a Company car for the local Service and Parts rep, it was replacing a 1966 Coronet Wagon with a 318 poly lol Chrysler would provide them with company cars to drive to all of their dealers they had to check in on. I think it was once a month they had to call on each dealer? Portland region covered a lot of area. funny/odd - the wagon was "scheduled" after the HEMI Charger  was this Charger ever used as a "company car"?

Beautiful Hemi charger! I wonder what it will go for?

Anyone dare guess to what it will hammer at ?
65? 75,? , 85?
IMO only, but if it didnt have the side markers added. I could see this one dip into the 6 figures mark, Maybe it will anyway.

Considering that it is the original owner, being auctioned on hemmings, I expect a very lofty reserve that will not be met.

It sold for $152,250 inclusive of buyers premium. That surprised me. But it's nice to see a 66 b body getting some respect.
I asked the seller twice If it has the torque boxes and the frame reinforcements. He replied to one without answering the question. The other time he didn't answer.

Does anyone think this was a real sale for $152K ? Hard to say. Depending on who you talk to, some say the market has slowed. Im not so sure And if thats real, it has to be a benchmark for a 1st gen Charger But a part of me sure hopes so. Sure makes me wonder what mine could bring at auction.( not that I have any interest to test that idea ) Maybe I should see about upping the insurance on mine.

Final & winning bid was $145,000 and there were 64 bids - looks real to me. Amount posted is with buyer's fee.
Sold my K10 through Hemmings and everything was legit with them.
I've seen a scam ad there - it was one of my cars, with info taken from another site prior to my purchase - but they got on that as soon as I notified them.
This car would seem to be something of an outlier, but it could be that the '66-'67 cars are finally getting some love. Agreed, I think the 66-67 Cars have surely closed the gap between them and the 68 and later.
