1966 Dodge Charger H Code Hemi

The introduction of the 1966 Dodge Charger marked the beginning of one of Chrysler's most iconic performance nameplates, and few examples embody the spirit of the muscle car era quite like this exceptional factory HEMI-powered Charger.

Dodge built exactly 468 Chargers with the 426 cubic-inch "Street Hemi" engine in 1966 Factory-equipped with its 426 cubic-inch / 425 horsepower Street HEMI V8 and paired with an automatic transmission, this Charger delivers the unmistakable performance and presence that established the HEMI as one of the most legendary engines of all time. Revered for its hemispherical combustion chamber design, immense horsepower, and dominance on both the street and the racetrack, the Street HEMI quickly earned its reputation as the engine every performance enthusiast wanted—and few could obtain. This is a genuine factory HEMI Charger, verified by the fifth digit of the VIN, "H," confirming its authenticity as an original HEMI-equipped vehicle. In an era where authenticity is paramount, factory-documented HEMI cars continue to rank among the most sought-after and valuable American muscle cars ever produced. Rarity is another defining characteristic of this remarkable Charger.
