It might seem too good to be true but this 1966 Dodge Charger barn-find listing on eBay has just one owner and is almost pristine after sitting in Mizpah, New Jersey, US.
It seemingly had a single, careful owner.
The car has a clean title in the original owner’s name along with the original certicard identification card.
Plus, its stunning green finish is completely original.

1966 Dodge Charger
The engine pad shows B383, which is a 1966 build.
According to the listing, below that are the digits ‘1 7 2’, which translates to January 7, 2nd shift.
It has a matching A833 4spd transmission.
While the exterior shows normal wear and tear with some rust along with the passenger side rear lower quarter of the hood, the find is extremely solid.
In terms of restoration, the floor pan will need replacing but the trunk is solid.
The 383 is locked up and no longer works, meeaning a rebuild will be necessary along with the other mechanicals of the car – including trans and brakes etc.
However, it does come with the original radiator, a new gas tank, sending unit and 2 extra 14” spinner-look hubcaps.
The seller had,in fact, planned to do a mechanical restation and drive the car himself.
However, as he and his wife are expecting their second baby boy this month, he’s been forced to abandon the project.
Logistics-wise, the car is located in Brooksville, Florida, and jared2044 offered to assist the buyer and their shipper with pickup.
$500 non-refundable deposit is due at the completion of the auction, with the asking price at US $9,500 or the nearest offer.

After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
