Up for auction is a 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 2 Dr. Hard Top. I based the look of the car on a Super Stock/Max Wedge Dodge. It has a 1972 440 HP Motor and a 727 Torqueflite Transmission with 8 3/4 rear-end. Car shows 62,000 on the odometer but the odometer does not work. The engine is internally stock as far as I know. Since I have had the car I put a Mopar Performance Electronic Ignition Conversion, Holley 750 cfm carb, Edelbrock RPM Intake, Headman Headers, 2 1/2 inch exhaust with Doug's Electric Exhaust Cut Outs and Flowmaster Super 44 Mufflers, rebuilt 727 with a TCI Breakaway Conv. (was planning a cam upgrade but never did it) and shift kit with B&M Shifter. Also has 4.10 Gears, Mopar Performance Super Stock Springs, Competition Drag Shocks front & rear, Drive Shaft Loop and Racing Wheel Studs front & rear as well as a Line Lock. Has a shift light tach with rev. limiter and after market gauges. Car has new brakes front & rear. Front wheels are 15x5.5 and the rear are 15x7 with new tires. Added the Fiberglass Super Stock Dodge Hood Scoop. The scoop is a replica of a 1965 Super Stock Dodge hood scoop.
The vehicle has no major rust issues. Just some surface rust under the vehicle as this is a factory non under coat car. The previous owner had a quick paint job done on it and there is some overspray and dirt in the paint. All of the stainless trim is there and is in good shape. I would say it is a good 10 footer. Interior needs to be restored, the radio does not work and it has some interior lights that do not work. Front bumper has some chrome peeling off of it. I was planning on putting on a Fiberglass front bumper and hood but never got around to it. The car runs and drives good. If it wasn't for the 4.10s I would not hesitate to take it on an extended road trip, as is it is only driven locally. It has a clear title and I have most of the receipts for the upgrades that I have done. Car has been garage kept since I have owned it. Vehicle does have the correct vintage 1965 Texas Plates on it.
The car is being sold as is and there is no warranty. Winning bidder will need to pay a $500.00 deposit within 48hrs. Complete Payment must be made within 7 days and purchaser is responsible for transportation arrangements. Happy Bidding!!

Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production
Sun, 28 Apr 2013In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.
Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
Roadkill pits every project car against each other
Sat, 22 Feb 2014The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.
