YACT: 1966 Dodge Charger

[Quixfire]

Hello Fellow Car Enthusiasts,

A new customer has given me the honor of restoring a 1966 Dodge Charger 383. The car has only 20,000 miles but was disassembled by the previous owner and painted poorly. I will be reassembling the car and painting the exterior plus making a few minor enhancements.

I will needs some help from any Mopar fans on ATOT. I am having trouble finding good online resources for parts and technical information. Could you please help locate and post some links for me to review?

Thanks in Advance,
Quixfire

P.S. I will post some pictures later.

Sherman parts page for the 66-70 charger, mainly body and trim. No engine parts.

I have a friend who is also contemplating getting into a restoration project on a dodge charger. I'll give him your info- if he gets into it, mb you can work together.

My wife's been drooling over 60's Barracudas. Wish I had the $$ and could find one cheap...

I love 60's Mopar.

eBay!! Surprisingly enough, it's a good resource for those hard to find parts.

If you are looking for original parts don't forget the dealerships (I am not sure on the mopar stuff though). For my 1966 Mustang I was able to get most of the body panels, foglights, grille bars, and stainless steel trim from dealerships....sometimes it's 'normal' priced, other times they have it *way* marked up.

Mopar dealers don't carry a lot of stuff for older cars.

But it doesn't hurt to make friends with the parts counter guy.

They can do a national look up and see who has what. I found some odd stuff for my Lebaron I thought would be discontinued.

Year one is a great source for restoration parts.

There is a salvage yard in the SW US that carries only Mopar parts. I can't remember their name.

Your best bet is a MOPAR magazine like Mopar Muscle. Check the ads.

Hemmings Motor News is another amazing source.
