This auction is for a "RARE" 1966 Dodge Coronet 440. California desert car with next to no rust and still has the original Warranty card. I purchased the car in Palm Desert CA in December 2003. It has the original matching # 361ci motor and automatic transmission with power steering. Manual brakes - but turned drums, rebuilt wheel cylinders and fresh brake shoes. Hooker headers with Flowmaster Series 20 mufflers with a nice deep throaty sound, and has set off car alarms. It has a very aggressive cam which makes it hard to start at times. The car was originally KK medium turqouis as seen in the engine compartment pictures. It was painted at Maaco in June 2008 a Dodge Signal Green including all jambs, with a hot rod matte black hood color - cost $1,541. It's been garaged ever since. Although it's not true to car, I would recommend a matte black ribbon at the rear of the car for balance. Both front and rear sets repaded and recovered by West Coast Customs for $1,068. Front bumper straightened and re-chromed by Keystone in Stockton CA. New gas tank, gommet, filler neck seal, and elbows. New trunk mat, divider insulation, and spare tire cover. New truck lid seal installed. New front and back door panels. New black carpet from Jim's Auto Parts. Under the carpet, we installed noise and heat insulation pad. New glove box liner and headliner insulation not yet installed. But do have bows and clips. New hood to cowl seal installed. New Edelbrock intake manifold with Edelbrock 600 cfm carb. The car had a huge tunnel ram intake with way too much carb.when I purchased. The body trim pieces were rattle can painted flat black - but didn't stick as you can see in the pics. They need to be removed and either stripped of the paint or powder coated flat black. New hood insulation installed. Car has ALL the correct badges and letters. Beautiful classic Mopar rally rims with 60R/15 BF Goodrich tires all around purchased at Stockton Wheels for about $1,000. New KYB shocks on all four. Mallory electronic iginition. Accell Super Coil. Dash in decent shape but needs work. Speedometer and gas level not working. Rear deck lid needs to be finished. Front windshield has a chip in it - and all other glass is great. I do have some misc. parts that go with the car.
This is NOT a frame off restoration. It was a car my son and I worked on and he drove all through high school. He's now graduated from college and moving overseas. We love this car and both of us hate to see it go. It's not a showroom car but a quality daily driver and close to being finished.
This car is sold in "As Is" condition with no warranties implied or agreed upon. PayPal payment highly preferred. Clear CA Title with current registration.

NHTSA investigating power modules on Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans
Mon, 29 Sep 2014The Center for Auto Safety is officially petitioning the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to begin scrutinizing alleged problems with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) on about 24 Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans. The advocacy group claims that the part's failure can cause affected vehicles to stall or not start at all. NHTSA is still looking into the accusations and deciding whether a full investigation is actually warranted.
The CAS petition claims at least 70 TIPM failures, but according to NHTSA, six of the complaints are for models that don't have the modules. In 34 of the reported cases, the vehicles refused to start, and in 17 of them the engine stalled. There were also two allegations of smoke and one of a fire. However, none of these affected airbag deployment or resulted in a crash.
This petition isn't the first TIPM-related problem for Chrysler Group. A recent report in the New York Times alleged that it found 240 complaints potentially related to the issue on NHTSA's website alone. In September, the automaker also recalled 230,760 examples worldwide (188,723 in the US) of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango replace the fuel pump relay circuit inside of the TIPM-7 with one external to the unit. The original part could allegedly cause the models to stall without warning. Even earlier, the company also recalled about 80,000 examples of the Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Nitro in 2007 to have the module reprogrammed.

Question of the Day: Most heinous act of badge engineering?
Wed, Dec 30 2015Badge engineering, in which one company slaps its emblems on another company's product and sells it, has a long history in the automotive industry. When Sears wanted to sell cars, a deal was made with Kaiser-Frazer and the Sears Allstate was born. Iranians wanted new cars in the 1960s, and the Rootes Group was happy to offer Hillman Hunters for sale as Iran Khodro Paykans. Sometimes, though, certain badge-engineered vehicles made sense only in the 26th hour of negotiations between companies. The Suzuki Equator, say, which was a puzzling rebadge job of the Nissan Frontier. How did that happen? My personal favorite what-the-heck-were-they-thinking example of badge engineering is the 1971-1973 Plymouth Cricket. Chrysler Europe, through its ownership of the Rootes Group, was able to ship over Hillman Avanger subcompacts for sale in the US market. This would have made sense... if Chrysler hadn't already been selling rebadged Mitsubishi Colt Galants (as Dodge Colts) and Simca 1100s as (Simca 1204s) in its American showrooms. Few bought the Cricket, despite its cheery ad campaign. So, what's the badge-engineered car you find most confounding?
