Up for auction is a 1952 Dodge Coronet 4 door sedan. The car was last titled in 1985 with 22,000 miles on it. It now has about 30,000. The car has the Flathead 230ci engine with the Gyromatic transmission, or Tip Toe shift (Desoto). The transmission works great. The car drives smooth, but will not go over 35mph then it starts to backfire. No. 4 intake valve is sticking. Brakes are hard, and the master cylinder leaks occasionally, mainly when the car sets a while. Exhaust is amateur, NAPA glass pack, clamps, sounds cool, okay for daily driver.
This car in in great condition for the age. IMO the condition of the body, and the interior are just amazing for a car this old, from Illinois! Some of the parts appear to be brand new. I have to sell it because my daughter is getting braces, and the cash would be nice, but not nice enough to be low balled...Car for sale locally, reserve the right to end auction at any time. Cash only sale! Your bill of sale will be the title....plates come with the car. They came off ebay.
The Great....
-excellent interior, nothing damaged or missing (besides front carpet).
-clock works, but is slow (correct twice a day)
-all original, you can still see the OEM stickers on some parts of the engine
-Decent set of used radials on the vehicle
-new fuel pump, oil pan was dropped and cleaned, newer battery, fuel tank cleaned and lined, carb rebuilt
-ROCK SOLID BODY! This car sat a log time in a barn (still has hay under bumper), developed a nice patina. Must have been a lot of cats around...
-clear Illinois title
The Not So Great...
-front fenders have typical sheet metal rust around headlights
-small amount of rust around rear fender/trunk area, passenger rear fender replaced (OEM) due to accident.
-dent on trunk hump
-No.4 cylinder has low compression 30. All the rest are okay.
-radiator weeps in some spots when it sets a while. I have never seen it leak when up to temperature.

Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.
2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat en route to dealers
Sat, 15 Nov 2014Get ready, world: The 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has officially been unleashed. But rather than just have the big coupes quietly arrive at dealers, Dodge has released this video, showing Hellcats loading up onto car carriers at Fiat-Chrysler's Brampton, Ontario plant. And yes, that is Mötley Crüe's "Kickstart My Heart" playing in the background. Of course.
This really is worth all the fanfare, though, considering Dodge will sell its ridiculously powerful, supercharged machine for just $59,995. And if the Challenger isn't quite up your alley, just remember, there's an equally powerful, 204-mph, four-door Charger Hellcat on the way...
Mopar maneuvers into SEMA with a multitude of modified models
Wed, 05 Nov 2014As the aftermarket and performance arm of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Mopar has a duty to extract everything from the company's models that it can, and there's no better place to show all of its work off than the annual SEMA Show.
Dodge really gets in on the act this year with several customs to show off different parts of the brand's performance heritage. Perhaps the most interesting among them is the track-prepped Viper ACR Concept (pictured above). It wears a custom body kit to produce even more downforce, thanks in no small part to a monstrous wing at the back. To shed weight, most of the interior is stripped out, as well. Next up, the Challenger T/A Concept takes inspiration from '70s Trans-Am racing in a livery of Sublime Green and matte black paint. The center scoop in the hood keeps the 6.4-liter V8 fed with cool air, and the special's 20-by-9.5-inch matte black wheels keep it planted in the corners.
Also getting the once-over from Mopar is the Charger R/T. It wears the division's body kit, and under the hood, a cold-air intake keeps the 5.7-liter V8 breathing. The suspension is retooled to hold the road better with a coil-over kit, upgraded sway bars and strut tower braces for the front and rear. The company is also showing off a snazzy blue Charger with a mean look. The final Dodge getting work from Mopar is the Dart R/T Concept with bright, O-So-Orange paint and a matte black hood with a scoop hooked directly to the air intake. The performance-oriented design is finished off with a coil-over suspension and big brake kit, as well.
