1967 Charger Help

[Road Dog]

Have a friend who is looking at this car. I know little about what to look for on these gen1's. He doesn't care about matching #s.

Looks like a nice car.......I highly doubth the milage claim unless its in thousands, but either way it looks about right for the $$ they're asking.   Prices are high on first gens right now at least up in canada so if that 67 has a sound body and nice paint I'd say go for it.... If the headlights roll and the gauges light up your in good shape.

Thanks, Any areas on these cars more prone to corrosion?

Same basically as other B-bodies.  Check the spare tire well as it is below the regular trunk floor and can be a secret water trap.

Thanks for the help.

Very nice.  Glad to see the first generation Chargers are finally going up a bit in value.  (I purchased my '67 without engine/trans for $500.00 many years ago.  It was othervise complete and just need the seats redone......)  It seems to be a "love it" or "hate it" body style.....
Enjoy......................

They didn't do a great job rust proofing on the insides of the sail panels and on some cars under the headliner. You can see inside the sail panels from the trunk with a flashlight, but the headliner is another story.

Kind of worries me how many of these nicely painted cars are driving around just rusting from the inside out.

My poor roof is getting it from both sides.  Vinyl top cars.

Didn't the factory install a sump pump on 66/67 Chargers spare tire area.

It was optional, a lot of people liked to keep it filled with water for those long cross country trips.  The camel of Chargers.

I thought was the mini pool option....you take a swim, then lay out under the large back window and get a tan....

Thats the hot tub option.  Very similar and it installs in the same place so its an easy mistake.  There was also the beer cooler option that went in the same location but it is easy to tell by the insulated sides.  A lot of people don't know it, but a beer cooler fastback was the inspiration for that scene in Dazed and Confused with all the beer in the trunk of the car.  Theyu tried hard to get a beer cooler Charger but the guy backed out at the last minute so they had to substitute a different car.  The producer was a big Mopar fan so they chose a Duster just to keep him happy.  It was a pretty important scene after all.
