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 until this past summer. Since pulling it out of long term storage 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 3,000 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 28,000 plus miles which is really 128,000. 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 month 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.
The Speedometer needs to be pulled out and fresh lubricants added as it chatters and bounces some in cold weather.
Please contact me with any questions you have.
Thank You for looking.

Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car is ready to burn rubber at SEMA [w/video]
Wed, 05 Nov 2014The Dodge Charger R/T is all set to rocket down the drag strip in NHRA Funny Car competition with a completely redesigned body debuting at this year's SEMA Show. While only the front decal, side scallops and rear logo really signal this racer as a Charger, that doesn't take away from its promise of hitting absolutely ludicrous speeds.
The engineers' biggest tweak to the body was moving the cockpit further back. This created more clearance under the hood, and the change came with added advantage of giving the driver better visibility out of the car. Composites like Kevlar also helped make the one-piece shell even lighter, while not sacrificing strength.
The new design has already undergone extensive time in the wind tunnel and real-world runs to make sure that none of the changes negatively impacted the aerodynamics. With those tests out of the way, the Charger R/T Funny Car will have the first chance to truly prove itself in NHRA competition at the 2015 Winternationals from February 5-9 at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, CA.
Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study
Tue, 28 Oct 2014Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."
