How can anyone hate this car? When you go back to 1966 and think what was coming out of the showrooms back then I Was to young to remember but I would of considered this over the mustang and the Camaro that's for sure.
Definitely take a 66 Hemi Charger over ANY Mustang or Camaro from ANY era, even a BOSS 429 Mustang or ZL1 COPO Camaro. I'm a Ford guy but when it comes to muscle cars, Mopar is King!!!
I know the 1st Gen Charger was a polarizing vehicle, but how could you be a male with a pulse and not absolutely LOVE a first year Street Hemi Charger? Gosh, Mopar was KING back then! Best channel on TH-cam. Period.
This is arguably the year/car that really started 'it' all for Dodge! By the time 1970 rolled in, is it any wonder that everyone was gunning for Dodge/Chrysler and the hemi line-up, especially the 426 up to the 440/six? Dodge has reinvented itself several times over through the years and always come out on top of the quest for raw power!
I had 3 Dodge Chargers growing up in the 1970's. A red with red interior 1966 Dodge Charger with a 383 factory a/c and even an 8 track player and two 1968 Dodge Chargers, one with a 383 and one with a 440 Hemi with a Hurst 4 speed pistol grip shifter. Only if I still owned those cars today.
Im into mustangs, but a friend of mine was into Chryslers, I sat in one of his 66 chargers and remember that it was the longest center console I had ever seen. Pretty cool.
Timeless styling, beautiful interior, and monster motor: almost heaven from Dodge.........Only thing lacking in most of the American cars (compacts to full size) of this era was good handling, standard disc brakes and radial tires. But for "stylin" down the interstate or "cruzin" in town this Charger is the cats pajamas. IMHO the cleanest automotive styling was from 1962 to 1966. Ford, GM, Chrysler (starting in 1963), even AMC and the Studebaker GT Hawk and Avanti, all had great exterior and interior designs in those years. Thanks for the video.
It took a while but people come to realize how pretty that car really was the lines or something different than anything you haven't been made it was quite a beautiful car and with the hemi it was very very fast
A neighbor had one with 383 and the 4 speed manual. It was fast and loud!! Beautiful car!! It was gold with a black interior. The dash at night was awesome with the blue lighting that was so unique. Unfortunately he sold the car to get something more oriented for his family. The kid that bought it run the hell out of it and then wrecked and totaled it!😥
So many people hate that Dodge called their current 4 door sedan "Charger" because it's a 4 door and not a 2 door car like the original Charger. But do they even acknoledge how many style elements of the original Charger Dodge managed to include in the current model. That's what I love about the Charger and Challenger.
We used to race one with a 440 in it. The car had excellent weight transfer. It had enough weight to transfer, and that meant power to the ground. Iron American Dream on TH-cam Share it. Take a ride across the promised land. Hey Chager!
It looks like too much car for the wheels like it would sail down the road rather than drive and would handle like a yacht. However the 4 bucket seats and back seat console are sweet. Just a thing from a different age altogether.
I love this car. I wish I could own one. İt is very difficult to buy and run cars like this properly unless you live in usa . So, lucky American people , stop being ignorant and get a real car instead of a toyota or hyundai , what is wrong with you.
Very interesting huge fastback. Always liked the look. So is it a 65 mustang knockoff or is it its own thing? Ford copied this quite obviously with the 68 Fairlane/Torino sportsroof. Not too sure what to think, but NASACAR DNA shows up in both Charger/Torino a lot so maybe this is what is happening. Keep the vids coming. And how about some more 68/69 Torinos/Cobras?

Thanks for another great video.
I was just thinking...300+hp cars with drum brakes and 14x6 bias ply tires...it's amazing anyone survived the 60's.
Always liked the interior of the first Chargers.

Love it! My Dad drove a 66' Hemi Charger when I was a young lad. My heart skips a beat whenever I see a 66-67 Charger.
Iv always loved this model charger since I was a kid.
The 'disappearing' headlights really make the look of this car along with the great tail light panel. And having a hemi never hurts either.
We agree, it's a great looking car.
Absolutely Bad Ass!
Its Mopars like this that broke my Ford addiction.
Most underrated charger
I love it !, such a unique looking car to this day .looks stunning in black

Beautiful just beautiful
Love the rear buckets, Beautiful car one of my favorites
Power & Class
my absolute all-time fav car/model.
Love that body style.
Absolutely in love with it ... These cars are made to live
Love it
Love it always have. Thanks
Very cool interior - I didn’t realize that everything in the back seat folded flat.
I love the 66 charger, fabulous rear buckets!
"totally" unique? "Unique" does not require a modifier; it already means, "ONE of a kind."
+tripjet999 correct, we've recognized this mistake.

Now this a is nice car, its sleek and it looks awsome

Best year for that car, IMO.

I love this car. My dad had one back home in Iran.
Really nice period car! Long, sleek and racy but still graceful looking.
Love........
Love it!

I love it but I love the 68 model more.
another great review
love

By far the best looking Charger ever built!!
Nice. My wife & I own a 67 Charger and hope to restomod it someday. It's a 383 SE model.
I still miss mine. deep metallic blue, with the 383 magnum option.
As our American cousins often say,....toootallly awweesome!
Limo tint all around would make that car look even better, darker, more "mysterious" ; )
That's just fkn gorgeous!!

good 15 second car
love it , but I love that 67' Cornet more

Great attention to detail, later chargers are built so cheaply.
67 was the last year for heavy metal
What was the actual real HP of this engine with dual 4 barrel carbs?
No underrated, most were in the 450hp to 460hp range
what kind of car is it
Cool care. Lots of mojo. But not my cup of tea looks wise.
