Very Interesting thread considering I just bought my first A66 Car

Triple Black
Original Paint
Sold new in CA

Solid great driving Car




Some additional information on car

LA Built
Door sticker says 10/69
Came with 15 inch Wheels

Fender Tag
R11 V1X V9W 26 END
M25 M31 N41 N42 N95
C55 G31 G33 J25 J45 M21
V1X A01 A04 A63 A66 C16

Trans was a warranty replacement (I have the dealer paper work showing the warranty work in 1971. Owner had to pay $25 deductible)

Nice chrome options.

The paint is still very nice with some low spots, door nicks have been touched up.

I have not looked for a BS yet, the previous owner never looked for it.
I doubt its there since its an LA car, but you never know.

Striped first, then body paint is what I heard, correct?

Stripe color first, then masked & body color.

Matt, I think your stripe code is actually V9W.

Good luck with the the A66 Challenger. Looks really great in black.
Black is a relatively rare color on a Challenger.
Did the tire size sticker indicate the E 60 - 15 inch wheels for such an early car? Is it an automatic or stick and does it have the rally dash?
It also looks like it has the metal 340 call outs?
Enjoy the new toy!

Tire sticker did indicate E60-15
Automatic
Standard Dash
Metal call outs

I will attach some close ups of the rear of the car/stripe per request.

Matt
The front grill is argent.

Previous owner of my A66 put the SE finish panel on mine too.

While it might look good it wasn't correct so I posted an ad here & it sold within a week. It was an NOS piece when installed IIRC.

If you happen to do the same, large diameter PVC pipe. Mine was sewer (clean) pipe. I had to buy a full length piece & it was like $40 but well worth it.

Really nice color combo.

Is the rear finish panel not correct in argent?
Was that trim package available as a option?
Maybe A63?
I will admit I am not up to speed on Challengers

This is an original paint car, but it certainly could have been switched out at some point.

Thanks
Matt

Problem with selling your rig is depending on who it went to, you're liable to watch it bounce around on the 'net for a little while before someone falls in love with it.

They ended the auction & it's not listed in their inventory. They must have sold it?
BIN of $48k & it sold @ BJ for what $58k? hmmm

Neat car, one thing that sticks out is the 340 metal emblems on hood. Seems a little early for them with your cars SPD. Would be curious if it had the original no crunch zone hood as it should for the early build date, if so maybe the emblems were added at later date.

I am trying to learn all I can on these cars.
Let me know what you need to see on the hood and I will shoot a few photos and post them up.
