ok , am i dreaming or am i abouut the only person building  a 66 / 67 charger?

did they make a 66 /67 rt model??...if so , whats the difference

There are some people here with 1st generation cars....

The R/T started in 1968 but you could get a 440 in 1967 and a Hemi both years. The base R/T package was basically the drivetrain of your choice(440 Magnum or optional Hemi only), heavier supsension, and brakes.

i was just curious....ive seen lots of 1st gens advertised as rts....didnt think they made one

There are quite a few first gen folks here.
FastbackJon is a good person to get to know; knows quite a bit and is vocal. Others watch but don't seem to post as often.
The majority of folks here seem to be second gen. owners. I like this site despite that (kidding, folks) because many of the answers to the tech questions I have aren't first gen specific, and the number of members here usually means near instant replies.
If looking for a first gen specific site you might check out www.66-67charger.com. Many of the first gen folks here are also members there.

PS: The 440 was not available in '66 Chargers. '67 was the first year for that. 660 were built, 132 4 speeds and the rest were automatics.

Sorry, I should have finished that thought huh?  It is being held in conjunction with the Charger's 40th birthday at Chrysler's Tech Center in Auburn Hills on June 10, 2006.
You can find more info at http://www.66-67charger.com/40thbirthday

 Lots of people out there doing first gens.  There just aren't as many of us as the second and third gen owners.  Mainly, this is due to the lower production number of the first gens vs the second and third gen cars.  Like Ghoste said, you'll find more of us at the other site.  Don't discount this one, though.

It is a love-hate relationship.  Love the style but hate the lack of reproduced parts.

Good Luck
