 Selling my 1966 Dodge Coronet 440 2dr hardtop as I just have too many cars in my collection.  This car was bought new in Waco and has spent its entire life within a 90 mile radius of Waco.  As a result this is absolutely a rust free car which has been in the family since the mid 1980's when my uncle bought it.  At this point the interior was redone with a nice vinyl "tuck in roll" on the seats along with a fresh paint job in its original color scheme.  A few years later it's 383 V8 received an overhaul along with with harden valve seats to allow it to run better on unleaded fuel.  It has traveled about 23,000 miles since.  I bought it in 1999 and drove it off and on till 2001 when I parked it.  Since pulling it out of long term storage 2 years ago it has received a brake system rebuild with new master cylinder, fuel tank cleaning with new sending unit, Carburetor rebuild, new power steering box, 727 transmission rebuild with external cooler system installed, new mufflers and new radial tires.  It has now traveled less than 4,000 miles since the most recent maintenance.  

This is a factory HP 383 4bbl with 727 automatic transmission with 323 rear axle.  It has factory air (not working at the moment) and Power Steering.  Odometer shows 29,000 plus miles which is really 129,000.  This is not a show car but rather a fantastic Saturday cruiser or daily driver.  The paint and upholstery show normal signs of wear and tear.  The left rear fender area has some previous minor body damage which is starting show some, however every where that I drive this car I get numerous complements and even had a couple of offers to buy it,  but I have not been ready to sell it till now.

Things it still needs:
The rear leaf spring shackle bushings need to be replaced as the rubber has recently in the last year given up after 47 years. These parts are readily available via various Internet suppliers for about $150 - $200.  I have just not had the time to replace them yet.

The AC system needs to be reworked, however the heater and all duct work function properly.  Again I have not had enough time to put it back into working shape, however if I still own this car by summer it will have working AC.  Ha!! Ha!!

The Speedometer needs to be pulled out and fresh lubricants added as it chatters and bounces some in cold weather.
 

All in all this is great car in wonderful shape and is tons of fun to drive.
Please feel free to contact me with questions!


This Coronet is being sold as is with no expressed warranty!

Thank You for looking!

Turn up the volume: Flat out in the Dodge Charger Scat Pack

Thu, Jul 4 2019

The 2019 Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack is a rare breed in the car market. It's a reasonably affordable large sedan with a huge honking V8 and rear wheel drive. You know, the perfect car for this Fourth of July. Or any day ending in Y, really. The R/T Scat Pack is the second most powerful version of the sedan with a 6.4-liter naturally aspirated V8 making 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque. Only the 707-horsepower Hellcat is a more powerful Charger. But power is only part of the story. The other part is the noise. The V8 has a gritty, dirty rumble to it. We recorded it cruising up on-ramps, down shifting, and got a few standing revs out of it. Check out the video to hear for yourself.

Dodge Viper recall requires small-handed mechanics

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

It has been over a year since Chrysler first announced its recall of 3,660 2003-2004 Dodge Vipers because the airbag could suddenly deploy. The repairs are finally beginning, and it appears to be a nightmare for mechanics.
According to the automaker's filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag control module can fail, which causes the bag or the seatbelt pre-tensioner to deploy without warning. It took over a year to design the new parts, according to The New York Times. However, Chrysler finally has a new "jumper harness with an in-line diode filter circuit" ready to fix the problem.
The dilemma now moves to the mechanics who have to actually install the part. A 47-step guide from Chrysler explains that the procedure should take about two hours. It's not an easy job, though. Most of the dashboard has to be taken apart, and the instructions include this helpful bit of advice: "Installing the jumper harness and filter box into position is not an easy task. Patience, perseverance, and small hands are required." We wish the best of luck to them. The fix comes just in time for the Vipers to enjoy the summer sun.

Chrysler recalls small number of 2013-2014 cars and trucks over engine debris

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Chrysler is recalling a small number cars over issues with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The recall, which affects 522 examples of its 2013 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 models, as well as 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs has to do with potential debris in the balance shaft bearings.
The abrasive stuff can cause the oil pressure to drop, which could lead to the engine stalling or outright failure. This situation could at best leave drivers stranded and at worst lead to a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners, who will need to report in to have the balance shaft module replaced. All repairs are naturally free of charge. Scroll down for the bulletin from NHTSA.
