Then let's see the fastbacks too (the 66-67 picture thread)

[FlatbackFanatic]

heres mine and a few others......

[Tilar]

I gotta say that the 68 is by far my favorite year, and I've had more 3rd generations than anything,  But the styling of the first generation Charger can not be denied. That might have to be the next one I get.... But I'm working on buying another 3rd gen right now.

What's up with all the Marlins? 

OH boy... you sound like the Grill guy thats in the midwest. Always asking me how the marlin's coming...

[learical1]

My buddies and I use to torture Mark Hopper with the "hemi Marlin" jokes.  And that was before Chrysler bought AMC, so it was an even bigger insult then.  He took it pretty well.  Of course, having a 66 Hemi Charger and a 70 Hemi Cuda, he could be big about it and ignore the insults.

sweeeeeet rides!!!! even though im partial to 68's... i do like the fastbacks too!! im a lil confused?!?!? what year out of the two has the hideaway headlights?!?!? or was it an option for both years?!?!?

[A383Wing]

[HITMAN 149]

ok.... so why do i see some with hideaway grills & some without?!?!? ok now im reallllly confuzzzled!!! lol

[A383Wing]

Because one of the biggest problems with these hideaway headlights is that they don't work after 40+ years....many items are involved in order for them to work, biggest issue is the motors are either frozen or burnt inside. Myself and other members of the 66-67 site can repair or supply updated parts to get them working again

[Ghoste]

AND, there is also an option with the 66 and 67 cars to leave the headlights exposed.  Very few people do it but we do have a switch on our dash that allows us to roll the headlight pods over to the exposed position and then turn the lamps off like an ordinary car. (another cool fastback feature)

[TeeWJay426]

Owned this one for 25 years before selling it this past November... 

[HITMAN 149]

ok see that's what im talkin about.... 
look at TeeWJay426's first pic..... those don't look like hideaway lights that are just "left open"
that looks like an open headlight grill?!?!?!?  lol
seeee that's why im allll confuzzzzzled!?!?! hahaha

The whole assembly rotates back and the headlights are on the back side of the "closed" grille.  That's why when they flip around to expose the headlights, it looks like a complete grille - there's no lid that lifts like other generations.  It's a real clean setup.

[HITMAN 149]

OK OK OK i just watched A383WING"s video's!!! NOW I GOT IT!!!!! 
sorrry i was a bit slow!! hahaha the 1st gens headlights are done to match the grill when they are flipped... unlike my 68's!! so now it allll makes sence!!!! thanks guys!!!!!!

wow cool car love the nascar spoiler too

[ITSA426]

Hey Jon, I just noticed my kid brother has the same license plate as you only, several states East.

[GPULLER]

Sweet ride you had there TeeWJay426...like the green fastbacks.

[twenty mike mike]

It's been a while since anyone has posted to this one...then again, it's been a while since I owned this car.

[472 R/T SE]

Wow, what a shame to sell that one.  Honestly I really like that green.  Red heater hoses, looks like Armstrong steering, lots of cool patina on that rig.

I had a friend who's son had a red '67 that I was offered first dibs on cause they knew I liked it.  I had just picked up a '69 Satellite, no room.  But I unfortunately watched as the car was sold/resold on Craigslist until it hit I think around $18k.  It had reached maybe over reached it's peak residual & found a home hopefully. 
A 1st gen is one of those bucket list cars'.  We had a '67 Coronet 500 'vert that my wife still says was the most fun we had in a car.  Hands down no contest for the coolest back seat area, the Charger. 

[Musicman]

Nice 

[Ghoste]

Good thread bump, I like the look of the yellow car against the mountains.

[ODZKing]

Hmm, how'd I miss this thread.
Oh well, 'ere ya go!

[wingcar]

Ok... it's not mine (and neither is the girl) but it is the car that got me interested in Chargers.  It's the George Barris custom...."The Thunder Charger".
(Because of this Charger I have owned four '66 Chargers and my present '67)
