1953 Dodge Coronet Hemi Engine on 2040-cars
Phillipsburg, New Jersey, United States
|
OK...Here's something you don't see everyday! 1953 Dodge Coronet V8 Hemi in its original condition! This is the time when they really made cars. The previous owner spent a small fortune on this car. This Coronet is mostly original and has its factory V8 Hemi engine and Gyro-Matic transmission. It is a 12V conversion. It does have Aftermarket Vintage A/C added that is ice cold. Also an elaborate sound system was installed that has several power amps and (4) 6X9 speakers mounted in the package tray as well as a double bass speaker in the trunk. This system is missing some power cables and we cant verify if it works properly. We found 2 significant receipts from the previous owner in the glove box. One for complete dual exhaust 2008 $711.00, and one for engine rebuild 2006 $1292.00. These will go with the car for future reference. Master cylinder is new as are some brake lines, but the clutch pedal will need proper adjusting as it shares a pivot pin with the Master Cylinder. All linkages and springs are complete, but proper adjustment is required. Paint looks somewhat newer, and does shine nicely, but is blistering on some lower areas. Some fading also see on deck lid and a little on roof. Roof has a round peeling area(maybe 8-10 inches?) that has been touched up. Car still makes a stunning appearance. Chrome looks great. Some floor pan work was done, then undercoated, but the undercoat is peeling. Really solid frame. Tires are super cool big white walls with great thread, but they are old and cracking. They might look great, but i don't think they will be safe long term. Air will seep out when they sit, so lets plan on some rubber. Engine does not leak, but it is a chore getting it started so please plan on trailering this home.Unfortunately, its been off the road a number of years and will need some work to make it a driver. The car will start if you tinker with it, but will run poorly. We suspect old gas so are not forcing the issue. The tank looks solid and does have a drain plug. This is a pretty easy project that will be worth a fortune. A true solid investment with original HEMI drivetrain. We simply don't have the time and need shop space. No nonsense auction. Highest bidder wins...Period. Good luck! |

2015 Dodge Challenger configurator has all the Hellcat you can dream of
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has sucked up a lot of air in the automotive news world this summer, so it's good to know that you can actually go out and, you know, buy the sucker. With 2015 models headed for your local showroom, Dodge has seen fit to also pull the wraps off it's latest Challenger configurator, complete with the supercharged Hemi V8 option that we just can't seem to get enough of.
We're still enamored of the $58,995 starting price for the 707-horsepower SRT, but the online tool finally gives us a chance to see just how optioned up our dream super-muscle coupe can get.
Buyers can choose from three interior treatments and nine paint colors, with two hues (Ivory White and Phantom Black tri-coats) coming for a $500 premium. For $1,795 Laguna Leather SRT bucket seats can be added in place of the (very nice) stock chairs, and a fancier infotaiment system with navigation and HD radio runs $695.
Real-life Bravado Banshee from Grand Theft Auto up for sale
Sun, 01 Jun 2014Remember the Bravado Banshee that West Coast Customs built last year to promote Grand Theft Auto V? Given away by GameStop, the woman who won it says she's better off with money to send her two kids to college than with a race car, so now you can steal buy it on eBay.
Based on a 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10, every exterior panel was redesigned to match the Banshee, and the red embroidered badging inside won't let you forget it. There's still that V10 up front that can make some kind of racket, and a SEMA-worthy stereo filling the entire trunk to make a different kind of racket. Oh, it's also got hood struts that have crapped out, so you'll notice the hood is held up with a wooden rod.
The auction ends on June 5, and you can make an offer or hit the Buy It Now button and hand over $170,000. Might be time to change the outfit and run a few jobs for some quick cash.
Dodge CEO and Gas Monkey Garage dissect the 10-second Challenger Hellcat
Fri, 11 Jul 2014So far, whenever we've seen the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with its 707-horsepower, supercharged Hellcat V8, the muscle car has been smoking its tires. Dodge is finally proving that the SRT can do more than ruin perfectly good sets of rubber, though. In it's latest video, company CEO Tim Kuniskis hands the Hellcat off to the guys from Gas Monkey Garage to show how quickly the automaker's most powerful model can make it down the drag strip.
Of course, the only fitting contender to race against Dodge's latest top muscle car is its grandpa - a Hemi-powered 1971 Challenger, in this case. Before getting to the main event, the hosts also show off some of the SRT's unique features like the blanks in the grille that feed the intercoolers. We'll go ahead and spoil that the Hellcat makes its pass in the 10-second range, and the video admits the tires on the production version would take just a touch longer to cover the quarter-mile. However, you have to watch film to see just how quick it actually goes. Scroll down to see a classic example of American muscle drag racing against its modern legacy.
