1966 DODGE CORONET 500

To All: I’m testing the water (winter is coming to northern Virginia - my garage space is in demand by the family) and listing my very nice, driver condition 1966 Dodge Coronet 500 with modified / stroked 383 big block that is a true Mopar torque monster, street legal and ready for local cruise-ins as well as car shows. This classic Coronet 500 two door hardtop has the nostalgic “muscle car” B-Body looks and lines, is well kept, clean and in good operating condition throughout, was originally equipped from the factory with a 318-2bbl V8 and A/C (both are now removed / gone…), A727 TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic transmission with shift kit and higher stall converter, 8-3/4” rear (now sporting 4.10 gears with Sure Grip unit) with newer B.F. Goodrich Radial P225/70R14 tires and dog dish wheel covers, black front bucket seats with center console, AM radio (not hooked-up), with power steering, light package and undercoating as the only factory options.  Heater core in vehicle, but not connected. This classic Mopar muscle car has aftermarket tach, oil pressure and water temp gauges, with working fuel gauge, lights and approx. 3,750 miles currently showing on the working odometer that is not original based on the motor swap by previous owner. I would rate this vehicle (original AZ car) a very reasonable 7.5 on a scale of 10 for the condition of the exterior paint (RR1 – Light Yellow), body, trim and glass components and a strong 8 for the interior (black vinyl), engine bay and trunk (jack assembly, spare tire, cover board and mat included) areas. Original Fender Tag, CertiCard, Build Sheet, owners manual, receipts and prior owner history information come with the vehicle.

I’ve only owned this classic Dodge for five months, have driven it over 350 miles and enjoyed it every time I fire-it-up, along with the neighbors and locals who applaud the nostalgic muscle car appeal. Based on the above, I’m including the ad listing description below from the prior owner from MI for further details / clarification:

“1966 Dodge Coronet 500, all original metal, original build sheet, certi card, original title history/owner history, originally a 318, now a built to the hilt 383, built by Koffel’s Place (Walled Lake, MI), ported and polished stage 5 heads, coated TTI headers, built 727 auto, full 3 inch exhaust, comes with 2 hoods-fiberglass SS & original painted to match body, comes with 2 intakes - Single and dual plane, steel wheels, dog dish caps, original jack, OE trim, NO PATCH PANELS, new weather strip, this is a sleeper, will run with anything, inspections welcome, this Coronet is right, solid, and mean.”  

 

I have a clear VA Vehicle Title in hand that will not transfer until all funds have cleared.  There is no warranty implied and / or provided for this 47 year old vehicle.  Good Luck bidding and please contact me with any information or additional photo requests.  This classic Mopar is for sale locally via other sources.  Therefore, this ad listing may be removed at any time.

Kia leads J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Study for 2022

Thu, Feb 10 2022

For the first year ever, Kia leads J.D. Power's annual Vehicle Dependability Study with a score of 145 problems per 100 vehicles. Buick (147) and Hyundai (148) round out the top three. The highest premium brand on the list is Genesis, with a score of 148. It's common for so-called "mass market" brands to lead this particular study, according to J.D. Power, as "premium" brands "typically incorporate more technology in their vehicles, which increases the likelihood for problems to occur" and aren't necessarily built to a higher standard that less-expensive brands. The highest-rated single nameplate is the Porsche 911. It's the third time out of the past four years and the second year in a row that Porsche's quintessential sports car has taken top honors. Porsche as a brand sits in seventh place (162) just behind Lexus (159) and ahead of Dodge (166). At the very bottom of the list is Land Rover with a dismal score of 284; the SUV specialist held the same unfortunate distinction on last year's list. Ram (266), Volvo (256), Alfa Romeo (245) and Acura (244) also performed poorly. The overall industry average score sits at 192 — mass market brands average a score of 190 while premium brands sit 14 points lower at 204. While Tesla is unofficially included in some of J.D. Power's results, the agency says the sample size it has access to for this study is too small to include. As has been the case for the past several years, infotainment systems dominate the list of problems reported by owners. Popular (or unpopular, depending on your point of view) complaints include built-in voice recognition (8.3 PP100), Android Auto/Apple CarPlay connectivity (5.4 PP100), built-in Bluetooth system (4.5 PP100), not enough power plugs/USB ports (4.2 PP100), navigation systems difficult to understand/use (3.7 PP100), touchscreen/display screen (3.6 PP100), and navigation system inaccurate/outdated map (3.6 PP100). While problems with the car's infotainment and technology packages are indeed bothersome, it's important to remember that such issues aren't usually leaving owners stranded with an immovable vehicle like a broken transmission or blown engine would. Culling infotainment complaints from the results would reduce the average problem-per-100-vehicle score by a staggering 51.9 points. The vehicles included in this study are from the 2019 model year. That means owners have had three years to get to know their cars and trucks. It's the 33rd year that J.D.

Dodge celebrates centennial with Charger and Challenger 100th Anniversary Editions

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

In 1914, the Dodge brothers went from being a parts supplier to a full-scale automaker, and to celebrate the centennial of this milestone, Dodge will offer special editions of the 2014 Charger and Challenger early next year. Both cars will be sold in limited numbers (although no specific number was given), and these cars will stand out thanks to unique touches like 20-inch wheels, 100th anniversary edition logos and the exclusive High Octane Red Pearl Coat paint job (shown above).
The 100th Anniversary Edition package, which runs $2,200 on the 2014 Charger and $2,500 on the 2014 Challenger, comes with red or black leather seats with a cloud print (for a denim-like look) and metal badges on the seatbacks that read "Dodge Est. 1914," while similar logos are also found on the wheel center caps and front fenders. The instrument gauges are unique to each car, with the Charger getting black gauges and the Challenger getting white gauges, and to enunciate the 100-year anniversary, both cars have red numerals on the speedometer for the 100-mile-per-hour mark.
Finishing off the 100th Anniversary Edition cars, which will be offered on V6 and R/T models, Dodge adds a flat-bottom steering wheel and embroidered floor mats as a part of the package. Scroll down for the full press release for these commemorative models.

Dodge Viper ACR reportedly green lit [w/video]

Fri, Feb 6 2015

The Dodge Viper might be getting a little more venomous in the near future thanks to a return of the performance-honed ACR trim. According to an anonymous source leaking the info to Allpar, the version would go into production in July as a 2016 model year vehicle. FCA US showed a concept for a future ACR (pictured above) at the 2014 SEMA Show that sported carbon fiber parts for the front splitter and dive planes, plus a picnic-table-sized rear wing. The body also received ducts at the rear to shoot cool air to the differential. A set of 15.4-inch carbon-ceramic brake rotors also brought things to a halt in a hurry. The company promised all the aero pieces were sculpted in the wind tunnel to give the coupe even more downforce. To shed weight, engineers chucked the radio, speakers, carpet and sound deadening out of the interior, and they replaced many bits with even more carbon fiber. All of the tweaks are necessary because the ACR moniker carries serious cachet for the Viper at the track, especially at the Nurburgring. One reportedly did a 7:22 lap around the 'Ring in 2008, and another improved that further to 7:12 in 2011. Autoblog reached out to FCA US for comment about the possibility for the hotter Viper, but the company wasn't willing to comment about any possible, future projects. Related Video:
