Does anyone know for sure if a car registered as an antique can be driven at night, registered in Pa? I am talking a 1966 Dodge not a Model T

Yes, as long as all of the lights are in working order.
I believe they can be driven at night as long as they have brake lights, and turn signals.
Remember with a vehicle that's regestered as an Antique, just because it doesn't have to be inspected, it must still be able to pass an inspection.

It's in better shape than most regulary registered cars, did alot of work on it. It's a toy not a daily driver, just was wondering about the dark.

They are mostly woried about the lights.  As long as is a 12volt system then you are fine.  If you have a 6volt system then your lights are dimmer and can not be seen as well.
