1953 Dodge Coronet Red Ram Hemi on 2040-cars
Fort Myers, Florida, United States
|
Up for sale is a beautiful 1953 Dodge Coronet. Engine is the original 241 cu. In. Red Ram Hemi with factory dual point distributor, 6 volt system and Gyromatic transmission. Running gear and brakes are in great working order with 97k miles on the car. The car was resprayed some time ago in the factory color of Esquire Red. The overall condition of this car is great considering that it is original and appears to have been taken care of fairly well. Car is very reliable and can be driven daily. There is an oil change sticker in the door jamb that states 89k miles in 1973. There is another from southern California. I can make out 195’ something so it may have been from out there originally. It was in Sioux City Iowa when I found it. The steering and overall chassis are original. The car wanders a bit but drives fine otherwise. The interior is complete however needs restored. The dash board and steering wheel are complete and in really good condition. All of the dash lights work and dim when the panel light is adjusted. Gauges work. Fuel gauge doesn't read correctly. Heater, defroster and original two speed electric wipers all work. Glove box is fine. The radio turns on but is not working. This car has factory front and rear speakers both of which are still in the car. Headliner is there. The interior light is there and works. The front seat upper has a cover over the original material and is very old and torn. The upholstery on the lower section of the front seat is coming apart. The rear is original as well and in good general shape with some old mineral stains and small areas that are torn. Car has original seat belts up front and aftermarket belts at the rear seat. The driver’s side door glass is cracked but whole. The rest of the glass is in good general condition. All four door windows roll up and down cleanly. Trunk has the original hounds tooth mat made from a weave material and is stained. The spare tire is an old Allstate Cushion tubeless wide white wall 7.10-15 tire and in really good condition. The original jack is present as well. The exterior trim, bumpers and grill are all complete. There is pitting in some of the chrome, the bumpers have some surface rust, scratches and general use marks from 61 years of service however are very straight. The side trim is complete and so are the various emblems and hood ornament. The car has some rust in the front passenger floor up around the body mount. Somebody did a repair on the driver’s side that isn’t impressive. Both of these spots are from a leaky cowl vent and rubber floor mats over the 61 year life of the car. Otherwise the car is very solid including the trunk and spare tire well. This car isn’t perfect or close and has various dings, blemishes, scratches, chips, etc. that would be normal on an original 61 year old driver. Overall this is a very classic 1950s Americana piece. It’s been fantastic for cruising and general hopping around. This car puts more smiles on faces than I can explain.
Title is clear, in my name and registered here in Florida. This vehicle is being sold as is, where is with no warranties or guarantees offered or implied. Sale is final, buyer is liable for any shipping. Please ask any questions you may have. The car is available locally (Fort Myers, FL) for in person inspections. I require a $1000. Non Refundable Deposit within 48 hours of the auction ending. The balance will be paid in full before the car leaves or sits on a trailer. No exceptions. I will hold the car up to a month with proper communication. |

Dodge Challenger Scat Pack adds power and noise, with a warranty
Thu, 17 Apr 2014If you want to go fast, there's certainly nothing wrong with the Dodge Challenger SRT8. With 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque for 2014, there's certainly not much to complain about. But what if you want something more aftermarket in flavor? There's no shortage of options, but while turning to the tuner world will make your car plenty fast, that extra power won't just shred rear tires, it'll torch your warranty, as well. That's where Dodge's Scat Pack comes in.
With three stages of mods for both the 5.7 and 6.4-liter Hemi V8s Challenger (as well as the 5.7-liter Charger and, soon, the four-pot Dart), the Scat Pack cars give drivers all the power, aggression and noise of a heavily modded aftermarket car while maintaining the piece of mind provided by the Dodge warranty.
Power gets bumped up to 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque with the 6.4-liter Scat Pack, while the 5.7-liter can provide up to 58 hp and 47 lb-ft of torque to add to the stock engine's 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet. It's the latter engine that can really get some work done, with upgrades ranging from the mundane - intake and exhaust - to the racy, like the ported heads and high-flow headers.
Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat ringtone revs up [w/video]
Wed, 30 Jul 2014The best (or worst, depending on your views) thing about smartphones is that you're able to carry lots, and lots of useful stuff around in your pocket. That means you can always have a phone, messaging service, email, flashlight, calculator, dictionary, encyclopedia, and literally thousands of other things on your person at all times. Now, we can add one more thing for you to carry about in your little slab of aluminum, glass and plastic - a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
Now, you obviously can't carry around a 707-horsepower muscle car around in your pocket. That'd be ridiculous, impractical and uncomfortable. You can, however, carry around the noise made by said muscle car's 6.2-liter, supercharged Hemi V8, thanks to a new, free-to-download ringtone from the folks at Dodge and SRT.
We can't embed the ringtone here, so if you'd like to hear exactly how it'll sound when your phone goes off, you'll need to head over to the SRT Hellcat's page. If that's more trouble than it's worth, the same ringtone was attached to a tiny speaker on the press kit for the mighty Challenger, and was captured on video by our own Seyth Miersma (don't worry, he's already been soundly dressed down for shooting a video in portrait mode).
Roadkill pits every project car against each other
Sat, 22 Feb 2014The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.
