1956 Dodge Coronet Lancer on 2040-cars

Springfield, Oregon, United States

Here's a car you don't see too often...  a 1956 Dodge Coronet Lancer, 2-dr H/T.  It is almost complete, but still a project.  Here is the description:

BODY:  very straight, some patches of surface rust here and there.  There is a small area under each tail light unit with some holes, as shown in close-up.  All the trim is there, with the exception of the LANCER script on each front fender, and the DODGE script on hood.  Some other trim pieces that don't  appear in photos  are in the trunk.  The antenna is gone, though.  This is a really solid car, in it's original gold & white 2-tone colors.  One tail light needs a red lens - it has 2 clear ones.

Chrome on front grill pieces is excellent.  Bumpers are straight but OK, and need re-chromed.

GLASS:  Driver's side window is cracked, and windshield has some delaminating going on one side (see close-up)

ENGINE:  This V8 Red Ram is a 315 ci poly motor.  It came from a '56 Dodge Royal donor car - it ran great when it was installed 3 years ago.  Still needs linkage hooked up. Radiator has been rebuilt.  I'm not sure about tranny, but the donor cars was a driver, so I'm sure it is OK.

TIRES:  they hold air - that's about it.

INTERIOR:  It needs totally redone. The original seat covers are still on seats.  Door panels are good for patterns only.  All door handles & window cranks are in a box.  Dash looks pretty good too.  I have 3 complete extra dashes, so if you need a part, I have it most likely.  Floors have been patched; drivers side has new piece welded in, and the floor is covered in what looks like fiberglass painted silver...not sure  what that process was.  But it feels solid.  No headliner, but bows are in trunk.  Trunk has one area of rust holes on left, as shown in close-up.  The bottom of the spare tire well is even solid!

  This would make a really great project - it's all there and solid.  Unfortunately there is no title to this car.  It has Oregon license plates from 1956, ( 8E 1233) and the DMV shows nothing on record; it's been out of the loop a long time.  I will provide Bill of Sale.

Arranging transport is buyer's responsibility, but I will help on this end, such as towing it to a pick-up area.

Any questions feel free to call or email me:  (Terry) 541-726-8467  eves PST

 Good luck bidding!  You won't be disappointed....

Has Dodge stepped in it again with Scat Pack lawsuit?

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Lawsuits are an unfortunate part of doing business in just about any industry, so the latest complaint filed by a California-based aftermarket firm against Chrysler would seem to be nothing more than business as usual. But this isn't the first time the two companies have sparred over this particular issue.
According to a report from Automotive News, the dispute revolves around the Scat Pack name that Chrysler first offered on the Charger, Coronet, Dart and Super Bee starting in 1968. Scat Enterprises, a manufacturer of crankshafts and other components for Dodges and other vehicles, sued Chrysler for using its name. A few years later the Scat Pack disappeared from the Dodge catalog.
Fast forward to August 2013 when Chrysler applied to register the Scat Pack name anew. The US Patent and Trademark Office turned down Chrysler's application, but the automaker proceeded anyway, unveiling new Scat Packs for the Challenger, Charger and Dart at last year's SEMA show.

Coal-rolling Ram dually does tandem beer-shooting burnout with ATV in bed

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Sometimes a video comes around that just makes you shake your head in disbelief. Take for example these guys from Nebraska in their dually diesel flatbed Ram, doing a smoky burnout. Lighting up the tires is nothing new, but these folks take things a step further by having another guy on an ATV in bed that is also smoking the tires. Finally, people are sitting on a couch in the bed taking the whole show in, as beer cans shoot out of the stacks.
There have been several stories recently about the scourge of rolling coal, i.e., diesel trucks modified to lay down a thick, black smoke screen, sometimes for vaguely political reasons. Whatever your opinion is on it, breathing in this much nasty stuff isn't exactly great for your health. Of course, it turns out that burning rubber is pretty awful, too. Both diesel and tire emissions contain cancer-causing Group 1 carcinogens. Combine them with the cigarette smoking here, and these guys are an oncologist's nightmare. Scroll down to take it all in for yourself. Warning, there is a little explicit language.

2014 Dodge Durango bows with eight-speed auto, updated looks [w/video]

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

Dodge has significantly updated its full-size Durango for the 2014 model year, giving the seven-passenger hauler a fresh look and a well-rounded boost of competitive features as it enters its fourth year in the showroom.
Cosmetically, it is hard to miss the revised front end with projector-beam headlamps and LED daytime running lamps, "floating" crosshair grille, a taller front bumper and a new lower fascia. The rear end of the facelifted Durango has been redesigned with the automaker's now-signature LED "racetrack" taillamps and resculpted rear fascia. All of the wheels are new too, with 18- and 20-inch options for each trim level with a variety of factory finishes.
Inside the cabin, buyers can select the automaker's latest Uconnect infotainment system with a full suite of infotainment features and connectivity accessed through an 8.4-inch touchscreen. Other optional goodies include a heated steering wheel, heated second-row seating and a Blu-Ray player capable of running unique programs on the twin individual rear monitors.
