1966 Dodge Coronet 440 Hardtop 2-door 7.2l on 2040-cars
Leesburg, Virginia, United States
This was originally a 383 car and is a real 500 with the bucket seats and center console and floor shifter. It still had the original Certi-Card under the hood from the factory and a lot of original parts still on the car. The car was sold to the 2nd owner and the motor was removed back in the early 80's and replaced with a 426 Hemi and used for street racing for a few years and then a 1970 440 which is the motor in it now was installed in the late 80's, the motor was rebuilt in the early 90's and then sold to the guy I bought it from who drove it on weekends and he put the aluminum heads. aluminum intake and new carb on it. When I got it the car had still not been tuned after the install, it would start perfectly and idle fine and drive fine until you stepped down on it and it would back fire thru the intake and hesitate so I messed with it a bit and moved the vac advance to the other side of the carb and got it to run better but harder to start and idle so I purchased new jet and metering rods but never installed them, I got busy and never had time to mess with it and not winter is here I cant do anything until spring and some things have changed in my life that force me to sell it now. I'm not going to give the car away but my reserve is less than I have in the car and a fair price for now and low price compared to Spring prices. It does have handicap driving hand controls in it so if you are handicap you can drive it but it has standard brakes and standard steering and it is a BEAR to drive with one hand and try to turn while starting out or turning around. if you do not need them I will take them out. Notice please!!! I do have a loan on this car at a well known Credit Union and I will draw up a complete Bill Of Sale detailing all parts of the transaction once I can verify funds I will let the car go and when I receive the title I will sign and copy then send a copy and mail the original. I have sold cars and bought cars like this without any issues and will give you contact information from the lender as well. Drivetrain: 440 motor with Edelbrock alum heads, Edelbrock Alum intake, Edelbrock 650 4brl carb, HD 727 rebuilt trans with shift kit and TCI 10" Street Fighter Converter, 3.55 posi rear, Issues: Wipers not working , heater not working, drivers seat foam pieces coming out on floor may need new foam, passenger seat has a small tear, air cleaner is cut out on the bottom to fit over the throttle linkage I purchased a new one but it hit the hood and would not close so it needs a low profile air cleaner, few scratches, small bubbling area in low quarters, |

Dodge pulls New Girl and The Office stars for new Dart spots
Wed, 06 Aug 2014Dodge is hoping that a heavy dash of humor helps it move some more units of the Dart with a hilarious ad campaign called Don't Touch My Dart. The spots star actors Craig Robinson, best known for his role as Darryl on The Office, and Jake Johnson from New Girl as neighbors and friends playing a game of one-upmanship over Robinson's new car. Johnson is envious of the ride and just wants to touch it.
The ads are pretty funny if you're a fan of somewhat absurdist humor, and Robinson has just the right amount of over-the-top seriousness to really make the commercials work. They have kind of a Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote vibe with Johnson constantly in inept pursuit of what he wants, but he clearly isn't getting it.
The first four spots in the campaign are already online, but according to Dodge this is just the beginning. The company says that it's planning about 24 different versions of these ads in various lengths to play on TV and online. You can check out the ads titled First Scratch, Birdhouse Police Garage Door and Voice Touching below, along with the brand's release about the new ads. There's also a pretty good gag on its YouTube page with Robinson protecting his Dart.
Chrysler recalling 700k minivans and Dodge Journey for ignition switch woes
Tue, 01 Jul 2014General Motors isn't the only automaker with ignition switch problems. Chrysler is fighting it too and is now announcing a recall of 695,957 examples worldwide of the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2008-2010 model years, plus the 2009-2010 Dodge Journey.
According to a statement from Chrysler, the models have a bad wireless ignition node detent ring in the ignition switch, making it possible for drivers to appear to have the key in the "Run" position but for the spring not to fully engage. It can then slip back to the "Accessory" position and shut the car off. If this happens, the vehicle loses power steering, brake boost and the airbags.
There is some disparity about the number of vehicles affected under this recall. In its statement, Chrysler claims that it covers 525,206 vehicles in the US, 102,892 in Canada, 25,591 in Mexico and 42,268 elsewhere. However, the recall announcement posted by The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration lists an estimated 438,109 vehicles in the US. Chrysler spokesperson Nick Cappa told Autoblog via email that the reasoning for the different figures "will become clear at a later date."
The best cars we drove this year
Tue, Dec 30 2014Six hundred and fifty. That's roughly how many cars pass through the hands of Autoblog editors every year, from the vehicles we test here at home, to the cars we drive on new product launches, testing roundups, long-term cars, and so on. Of course, our individual numbers vary due to several reasons, but at the end of the day, our team's repertoire of automotive experience is indeed vast. But let's be honest, some cars certainly stand out more than others. So as the year's about to turn, and as we're readying brand-new daily cat calendars for our cubicles, our editors are all taking time to reflect on the machinery that made this year so special, with one simple, open-ended question as the guide – a question that we're asked quite frequently, from friends, family, colleagues, and more. "What's the best car you drove this year?" Lamborghini Huracan When I review the list of everything I drove in 2014, picking an absolute favorite becomes almost impossible. I mean, how does one delineate between the joy offered by cars as different as the Alfa Romeo 4C, Volkswagen Golf R, Mercedes-AMG GT S and even the humble-yet-wonderful Chevy Colorado? Okay fine, I'll just pick the Lamborghini. I drove the Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 on a racetrack, in the mountains, and along southern coast of Spain. It felt like the king of the car jungle in all of those places, sucking the eyeballs of observers nearly out of their heads as it drove by, and almost melting my brain with its cocktail of speed and grip and intense communication. It feels a little easy to say that the one new supercar I drove this year was also my favorite, but the fact is that the Huracan is one of the finest cars I've driven during my career, let alone 2014. Judge me if you must. – Seyth Miersma Senior Editor Rolls-Royce Wraith There are a couple of ways to look at the question, "What's the best car you drove this year?" In terms of what was so good I'd go out and buy one tomorrow, that'd be my all-time sweetheart, the Volkswagen GTI. Or if I'm just talking about sheer cool-factor, maybe something like the Galpin GTR1, BMW i8, or Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG. But instead, I'm going to write about the sheer opulence of being the best of the best. The hand-crafted, holier-than-thou, shut-your-mouth-when-I'm-talking-to-you supremacy. I'm picking the Rolls-Royce Wraith. I drove the Wraith for a week in April, and was really, really impressed. This car does everything, perfectly.
