1966 426 HEMI 4-Speed Survivor.....PRICE??

[Coosawjack]

Hello Folks......
I'm a new member who has had lotsa cars over the years but my favorite was a 1967 HEMI Charger when I was in college.....worried constantly it would break and I'd be broke!!
It was REAL SCARY on skinny Polyglas Tires when the 727 would downshift to 1st gear when stabbing it at 45-50 MPH......HOLY CRAP......HOLD ON!!
Anyway, I have been on the hunt for another like it........I've found several 1966 cars but very few 1967's.........so my question is what would be a fair price for a very nice 1966 4-speed survivor car assuming everything works as advertised??
Thanks in advance for any and all replies!!

A fair price would be about 25 large.

A 426 hemi engine + 4spd? 

That's not gonna happen for only $25k.

Id Say $85K is in the ball park, 1st Gens just don't have a big following NADA say $72K avg to $111K excellent

25K?  Thats what most people would be looking to get just for the engine.  AKCharger is closer.

Ghoste is right!

Coosawjack -

You would paying a bunch of extra money for a Hemi/4spd VIN number and a survivor car.  If you can settle for a restored car with a swapped drivetrain, plenty of those cars are very well done nowadays.  Mechanically indistinguishable from a restored factory car.  It's not like 40 years ago when people swapped the motor & trans but they neglected to change the rest of the details.  

Also, there is a joke in the hobby that "Hemi" stands for 'Have Enormous Money Invested."  You're paying a lot of extra money to have those spark plugs in the valvecovers.  These days you can throw some catalog parts at a 440 engine and make as much power as a factory stock Hemi.  Like, easily.  The Hemi is still the horsepower king, but its advantage doesn't really show (horsepower-per-dollar) until the engines are pretty well built.  700+ horses.

$25K for ANYTHING hemi is not going to happen.

Keep in mind production numbers for a 67 Hemi charger is A LOT less than 66. So finding one will be a challenge.


That said , In today's market pretty much anything Hemi car is $75k AND UP

Thanks guys.......

Unfortunately I have another big hurdle before I could consider the HEMI car.......my right hip is shot and needs replacement!!

I'm currently in the midst of approvals from various medical folks and if all goes well 2-8-22 is the day for surgery.......UGH!!

I may have to look into some of the built cars since the HEMIS are so expensive!!

Keep the ideas coming....my preferences are 1967 and 1968 (my Mom had a '68 318 car)!!

Thanks again!!

Does it have to be a Gen 2 Hemi?   Get a 318 / 361 / 383 bare bones car and transplant a Gen 3 out of a wreck.

If money is an issue and you're not worried about Pedigree the above is absolutely the way to go
