Hi guys.
I have found a 66 Charger, as restoration object. Are the possible to get parts for a restoration job. I did my 70' Challenger, and as you know, are the åeasy to get the parts. But will it be the same for the 66' Charger.

Thanks guys.

Not a lot of new parts out there for the 66-67 charger. I’m pretty sure sheet metal is not produced in good quality parts. Check the AMD site first. No chrome or grill parts available new. There is a local guy who has a complete parts car that is decent shape. He wants $3000. You could not buy the car and restore it for what it cost the buy a nice otiginal one already done. They just don’t bring that much money.

iagree Repro sheet metal is hard to find, and what is out there is of poor quality compared to the AMD stuff you had available for your challenger. My brother has one he's working on, it's a neat car but no, you will never fix it up for what you can buy one for.

Thanks guys. The sheet metal and trims parts are so important to get a good result. 66' was a way to get a cool Charger a bit cheaper in the 68-70 models.
A black 68-70 is still the dream car besides my Challenger.

Well if a 68-70 is your first choice then I’ll give you this advice. Don’t even think about a 66-67. It will be harder to restore because of availability of parts and cost more money to boot. Then when you find your true dream car and try to sell 66,you will lose half or more of the money you spent. I buy and sell project cars all the time.

Good advice right here. 68-70s are out of my range now, so a '66 it is. If I could go back in time, Id have kept saving and bought a 68-70.
