 Selling my 1966 Dodge Coronet 440 2dr hardtop as I just have too many cars in my collection.  This car was bought new in Waco and has spent its entire life within a 90 mile radius of Waco.  As a result this is absolutely a rust free car which has been in the family since the mid 1980's when my uncle bought it.  At this point the interior was redone with a nice vinyl "tuck in roll" on the seats along with a fresh paint job in its original color scheme.  A few years later it's 383 V8 received an overhaul along with with harden valve seats to allow it to run better on unleaded fuel.  It has traveled about 23,000 miles since.  I bought it in 1999 and drove it off and on till 2001 when I parked it.  Since pulling it out of long term storage 2 years ago it has received a brake system rebuild with new master cylinder, fuel tank cleaning with new sending unit, Carburetor rebuild, new power steering box, 727 transmission rebuild with external cooler system installed, new mufflers and new radial tires.  It has now traveled less than 4,000 miles since the most recent maintenance.  

This is a factory HP 383 4bbl with 727 automatic transmission with 323 rear axle.  It has factory air (not working at the moment) and Power Steering.  Odometer shows 29,000 plus miles which is really 129,000.  This is not a show car but rather a fantastic Saturday cruiser or daily driver.  The paint and upholstery show normal signs of wear and tear.  The left rear fender area has some previous minor body damage which is starting show some, however every where that I drive this car I get numerous complements and even had a couple of offers to buy it,  but I have not been ready to sell it till now.

Things it still needs:
The rear leaf spring shackle bushings need to be replaced as the rubber has recently in the last year given up after 47 years. These parts are readily available via various Internet suppliers for about $150 - $200.  I have just not had the time to replace them yet.

The AC system needs to be reworked, however the heater and all duct work function properly.  Again I have not had enough time to put it back into working shape, however if I still own this car by summer it will have working AC.  Ha!! Ha!!

The Speedometer needs to be pulled out and fresh lubricants added as it chatters and bounces some in cold weather.
 

All in all this is great car in wonderful shape and is tons of fun to drive.
Please feel free to contact me with questions!


This Coronet is being sold as is with no expressed warranty!

Thank You for looking!

Chrysler teases upcoming outlay of SEMA cars

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is hauling a multitude of modified models to the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas this November, and the company is releasing the first teasing sketches of many of them.
Unfortunately, FCA isn't giving many solid details on any of the concepts other than saying the vehicles from Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat all benefit from tuning from its Mopar performance brand. The teaser photos include a sinister-looking Chrysler 200S, Fiat 500 Abarth with two-tone paint and a scorpion on the hood, a red and black 500L, seemingly two different takes on the Jeep Renegade, a green Dodge Challenger wearing the T/A badge, an orange and black Dart, a very neon Charger, just the outline of a red and black Viper, a Ram ProMaster in Mopar livery and a Ram pickup called the Outdoorsman.
Take a look through the gallery to see what you think of the sketches for these concepts, and scroll down for the full announcement from FCA.

Dodge Charger Pursuit nets quickest lap in police car test

Mon, 30 Sep 2013

We wouldn't advocate trying to outrun the police, no matter what you're driving and no matter what they are. But if you see a Dodge Charger bearing down on you with blue lights flashing in your rearview mirror, you'd better think twice before attempting to flee, because the Charger Pursuit has once again emerged as the fastest police cruiser out there.
In the latest Police Vehicle Evaluation held by the Michigan State Police at Grattan Raceway, Dodge says its new Charger Pursuit AWD posted a lap time of 1:33.85. That's quicker than any of the other law enforcement vehicles present, but also makes it the quickest all-wheel-drive cruiser available to law-enforcement officials. That may not make it the quickest of all time, but that honor belongs to the rear-drive Dodge Charger Pursuit, which cuts a fraction of a second off its AWD counterpart's time with a 1:33.70. But in regions where the extra traction could come in handy, that's as negligible a difference as we've ever seen.
Of course, the annual PVE sessions held by the Michigan State Police take in to account a wide variety of performance tests, including top speed, acceleration, braking, handling, fuel economy and ergonomics. The MSP has yet to reveal its full findings from its 2014 model year tests, but we'll be sure to bring them to you when they are published.
