In 1966, a brand-new Charger was a mid-year introduction and the newest model in the muscle car class. It was based on the Chrysler B-Body platform and shared much of its mechanics and chassis components with other less attractive Dodge models like Coronet. However, it came with fresh new sheet metal and a very cool-looking fastback roofline. The design of the 1966 Charger was completed with hideaway headlights and a big chrome grille which finished its menacing and aggressive looks (via Top Speed).

The interior was also very modern, with a cool-looking dashboard and four bucket seats. The rear seats could be folded down, creating enormous trunk space. Under the hood, Dodge offered various engines, starting with a modest 318 V8 unit. The step-up was a 383 V8 which could deliver 325 HP. However, the best and most powerful option was the mighty 426 Hemi.
