This 1966 Dodge Charger Sport Coupe is a fire-breathing muscle car legend reborn. Rosso Red paint with pearl accents coats its fastback body, creating a striking visual impact. The aggressive stance is amplified by 18-inch Ridler wheels up front and massive 20-inch Ridlers in the rear, wrapped in sticky rubber. A fiberglass Hemi scoop adorns the hood, hinting at the power lurking within. The car's sleek silhouette is further enhanced by black-painted trim and sequential rear turn signals, setting it apart from ordinary muscle cars of its era.
Black vinyl bucket seats dominate the interior, featuring the unique Charger Package with rear flip buckets and a full-length console. The cabin exudes a performance-oriented atmosphere with three aftermarket gauges monitoring oil pressure, voltage, and coolant temperature. Illuminated gauge lighting adds a modern touch to the classic design. Sound deadening material ensures a comfortable ride, while the original AM radio provides period-correct entertainment. The suede headliner and matching center console cushion and visors complete the premium feel of this meticulously crafted interior.
Powering this Charger is a beastly 440 cubic inch V8, significantly upgraded from its original 361. The engine bay is a showcase of performance parts, including Keith Black full-flow pistons, 440 H-beam rods, and a Comp Cams double roller camshaft. Aluminum cylinder heads from 440 Source and an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifold topped with a Street Demon 750 CFM carburetor ensure optimal airflow. The powerplant is kept cool by an aluminum radiator with both mechanical and electric fans. A 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission with a Hughes 1800 stall converter efficiently transfers power to the 8 3/4-inch rear end, equipped with 3.23 gears. The chassis has been upgraded with QA1 tubular upper arms in the front, new KYB shocks all around, and CCP front power disc brakes for improved handling and stopping power.
