This 1967 Dodge Charger has spent its life in a dry location, avoiding the rust issues that sometimes plague these classics. It presents well, although the interior appearance can be improved relatively easily. However, there are a couple of further attributes that increase buyer attraction. It features a strong 383ci V8 under the hood, and the seller has pursued the No Reserve approach to their auction. The Charger is listed here on eBay in Kelseyville, California. Bidding has raced to $11,200, and barring unforeseen circumstances, this Charger is only days away from finding a new home.
The First Generation Dodge Charger remained on sale for two years before the company adopted a more mainstream approach to increase sales. The strategy succeeded, but enthusiasts are still attracted to vehicles like this 1967 example that provide a combination of performance and luxury. Our feature car has spent its life in California, where the climate has protected it from rust that could spoil the ownership experience. The underside shots reveal rock-solid floors and no evidence of developing problems. The Charger isn’t perfect, but potential buyers can consider it a tidy driver-grade classic. Its Light Tan paint looks consistent and holds a pleasant shine. The panels are generally straight, with only a few minor bumps and bruises. Performing a light cosmetic restoration is one option, although a reputable shop should be able to address the existing shortcomings without the new owner spending a fortune. The seller states that the headlight covers operate only manually, but hasn’t investigated the problem in depth. The trim and glass are in good condition, and the Charger rolls on new narrow whitewalls.
The Charger was V8-only territory, with this car featuring a 383ci powerplant. The company’s Dealer Specification Book quotes power and torque figures of 325hp and 425 ft/lbs, with this car sending those ponies to the rear wheels via a three-speed TorqueFlite transmission. It also features power steering and power brakes, promising a fairly relaxed yet potentially rapid driving experience. The seller recently invested a significant sum into the Charger’s mechanical components, and the winning bidder will reap the benefits. The motor received a new four-barrel Edelbrock carburetor, and the spark should be strong, courtesy of the new plugs, plug wires, electronic distributor, and coil. Most of the braking system is new, as are the KYB shocks. The Charger is a turnkey proposition, allowing the buyer to fly in and drive it home.
The interior reveals where the new owner may spend some time if they wish to improve this Charger’s overall appearance. Trimmed in Red vinyl, most of the upholstered surfaces look pretty good. There is no carpet, and the front seats look tired. The listing is slightly confusing because the seller briefly mentions new front covers and carpet. However, it is unclear whether they include those items, whether they have the components available to sell separately, or whether they indicate that they are readily available through various companies. They say that the air conditioning is complete, although it requires servicing to blow cold. One aspect of the interior that stands out is the column shifter. Most First Generation Chargers that cross our desks feature a console and a floor shift, which makes this car slightly different. An under-dash gauge cluster is the only obvious addition, but the car retains its original electroluminescent gauges that look absolutely amazing at night.
Determining the desirability of a particular classic is sometimes challenging, but the listing statistics for this 1967 Dodge Charger seem to eliminate any doubts. It has attracted twenty-one bids, and with fifty people placing it on their Watch List, there is a good chance that figure will climb. A figure above $20,000 is achievable, and I believe that it will probably reach that goal. The No Reserve factor means it is days away from heading to greener pastures. Even if you aren’t considering making a play for this classic, monitoring the auction might be an entertaining experience, because I feel that things could become frantic in the closing minutes.
Probably at least a 25K car. It’s awesome.
Hmmmm. $15,000 for that winged junk yard dog or probably 20K for this. I’m so confused, which one is the better purchase?
somebody will end up with a good deal on this. good that they showed the dash light are working because they cost a fortune if they don’t. needs to the engine bay look like the rest of the car and dr up the interior. i would buy this over that s***bucket wing fake hands down
Is it because its a column shift that it doesn’t have 4 bucket seats and a front to rear center console??
1967 did not have the front to back console… it does have the buddy seat option so it had the console delete…..they only came with buckets.
So let me get this straight: in 67 you could get console shift, but the front-to-back console was gone, is that right? And so this subject car was ordered with column shift and a “center arm rest”?
Well, I’d have this version any day, but the full console is really the bomb in these Chargers.
Another question: we saw a 66 Charger last weekend at a show where the electroluminescent gauges had been swapped out for aftermarket gauges. I lamented this to my buddy, and he told me the EL gauges were a PITA to keep/get working properly. Is that right?
This is my favorite Charger year and this one may be a super deal to somebody. It looks great as is but needs some cleanup under the hood and two bottom seat covers and carpet. But it looks good enough for me as is.
Beautiful Charger…horrible wheel covers!
You could get full console like 66 even 67 models but that was option.I have see three on the tree 3speed or automatic without floor shift and bucket seats front but that buddy seat option and floor shif with console impossible so thats why column shift.
Electrolumicent gauges are not expensive to repair and you have there several specialists who can fix those and new/used parts those.
Many radiomen or radioshop etc can also take a look,mostly problem is ground problem=system goes black if grounded from wrong place or very thin wires cut in needles etc so offten not big problems if understand how system works.
Also corrosion etc problem because gauges are so old,if 1 gauge or gauges get ground wrong place,all totally black and even original radio and shifters light use this
electrolumicent so problem can also be there.
I repaired mine at The Gauge Doc..yes it was expensive but because i must shipped those from Finland there and you luckily use normal shipping companys there..not air mail packets and pay taxes also.
Now all works perfect and they modernise amp gauge also safer to use( backside)
I use also those aftermarket gauges and only use original speedometer.
Rew gauge do not work because i use Pertronix flame thrower and that rew gauge do not understand that kind of signals.
Electronic headlights problems are common but can fixed.
Mostly problems are bad connections,bad relays behind glove box or those microswitch near lamp motors,2 each side.
I have changed all those microswitch new universals so no need try locate originals used or NOS.
Lamps works perfect now!

Overall it looks like a really clean, original rust free Charger. Would like it even more if it had had the first year offering of the 440ci but the 383ci was still a great engine. Not surprised it sold, and not at a bad price either.
SOLD for $15,100.
34 bids.
Deal of the month!!!!!
Beautiful car. I’ve always loved this generation of the Charger.
