1966 Dodge Coronet We Code Police/fleet Car on 2040-cars
Spokane, Washington, United States
|
Unavailable for public purchase, the WE series cars were fleet vehicles sold to police departments and insurance companies. Production was very low and few survive as a result of years of these strippers being used as parts cars for the sexier models. But with the recent uptick in popularity of base models and strippers, this ultra-stripper should be a great restoration candidate. Its nearly rust-free condition should be attractive to any enthusiast, and with only 39,000 original miles, it is a true survivor that should require less than normal restoration investment to make this a real standout car.
I traced this car to Libby, Montana, and upon contacting the City, County, and police departments, was unable to confirm if this was indeed one of their cars, (basically, they never got back to me on promises to "look into it") ... but the City did dissolve their police dept. in 1967 to use County services and this may explain the car's low miles and civilian end use. More investigation might get a hard answer, but I will leave this for a future owner to push. Options appear to be limited to basic radio, tinted glass, and 15" wheels, the latter perhaps part of the fleet package ? I won't get all flowery telling you how "awesome" this car is like so many other ebay sellers. Anyone who knows B-body knows how special this beast is. It is a barn find, not driven since 1979. It has 39,830.4 original miles and the transmission interior and rear end reflect a very low miles car. It needs a little TLC, but it is all there, very unmolested original, and VERY restorable. Wheels were blasted and repainted and the car sits on brand new, high quality radials. Feel free to ask any specific questions. I am selling this car with bill of sale, as I have lost the title. Potential buyers are invited to inspect this car in person. Winning bidder is expected to make 100% payment of winning bid within 10 business days of auction end. Pickup shall be arranged to happen within 30 days of auction end, unless other arrangements are agreed to by seller. Cash, or cashier's check are acceptable payment methods. Buyer is responsible for pickup or shipping from point of sale. Car is for sale locally and auction will be cancelled if sold locally first. I encourage all interested buyers to contact me directly for an honest description to any questions you might have I am available most any time between 8:00am and 8pm PST. 509 . 953 . 4150 |

Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
Dodge not being dropped by Chrysler, CEO reaffirms
Mon, 16 Sep 2013Dodge isn't going anywhere. Despite some rumor and speculation over the future of the crosshair grille and the cars that wear it, Dodge brand boss, Tim Kuniskis, sat down with TheDetroitBureau.com, explaining that the marque isn't going anywhere. His sentiments echo those of SRT boss Ralph Gilles, who told a group of enthusiasts in July that "Dodge is here to stay!"
Dodge's death won't be "a part of a master plan to consolidate brands," Kuniskis told TheDetroitBureau.com. Instead, the brand, which is ultimately under the command of Fiat/Chrysler CEO, Sergio Marchionne, will likely ditch some of its badge-engineered models, like the Dodge Grand Caravan. A more focused Dodge, which was something Gilles has already hinted at, will likely see it exploring areas of the market that haven't been exploited by other Chrysler brands.
Kuniskis, not surprisingly, wasn't willing to delve into any detailed product plans, telling TDB that the size of the brand's lineup "remains to be seen." Regardless of how big the brand actually ends up being (it is presently Chrysler's volume brand - and not by a little), hopefully the statements from Kuniskiss can put the rumors of a Dodge closure to bed.
Dodge offers 100 years of solid advice in new ad
Fri, 18 Apr 2014This is a cool ad. Dodge, which is celebrating its centennial this year, recruited some of its peers to see what you should and shouldn't do in life. Of course, some are obvious - don't complain, learn from your mistakes and live for now.
Then again, some are less obvious. Some, actually, are downright awesome. Towards the end, each piece of advice is interspersed with clips of Dodge's redesigned Challenger smoking its tires. Really, this ad feels like it'd be worthy of a Super Bowl spot. This commercial's personal nature is really in keeping with some of the big game's most interesting ads, like the Imported From Detroit commercial, the Farmer ad and Maserati's surprise clip from this year's game.
Take a look below and let us know what you think.
