 This is a 1 of approximately 400 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 Convertibles with a 383 Big Block and Auto Transmission
98,061 BOX A MILES, That is under 100K miles ever!
Only 400 ever produced from the factory

Please look at pictures very carefully as I have tried to include pictures of everything

The car was disassembled by previous owner and taken to shop to begin restoration.  The shop went under and the owner received his car back in pieces and gave up on the restoration.

The body is not perfect by any means, but is most definitely worth saving.  You can see rust in the rear inner fenders, and behind the rear seat in the trunk.  If you would like pictures of a certain area, please ask and I will be happy to get it.  I do not know the complete history of the car, but it is clear to me that someone has done a lot of metal work, with a lot more needed to be done.  The car rolls around fine.  I have the original 383 Big Block and the original automatic transmission.  These are supposed to be the original numbers matching parts to the car.  The only part I've noticed that I can not find is the original carburetor.  A list of the major components that are noteworth:

* Bucket Seats in Front
* Center Console with built in clock (Have multiple console bezels)
* Rear Seat also included
* No cracks in windshield
* All Glass is included save the rear glass for the convertible top.  The top has deteriorated
*Car was running and driving prior to disassembly for restoration
*Clean and Clear title w/ 98K BOX A MILES
*All Panels present (Hood, Fenders, Doors, Trunk, Quarters, Bumpers, ETC)
*ONE OFF Reproduction Sill Plates Included with Sale (Were not cheap to have made)
* You'll notice in the photos there are duplicates of many items, the auction includes ALL of them!

This vehicle is a serious project, but it is VERY RARE and worth putting back together.  I believe all of the trim, moulding, and emblems are accounted for, but can not guarantee it, as I am no expert on 1965 Dodge Coronets.

Buyers/Bidders are encouraged to view vehicle in person as this is an AS IS Sale, All Sales are Final, there will be no refunds or exchanges given.  By bidding on the vehicle you enter into a contract with myself (The Owner) to pay any moneys that you bid as well as handle any costs accrued for shipping of the vehicle.  If you have any questions or would like to discuss anything regarding this vehicle, feel free to message me and I will respond promptly!

$1,000 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 Hours of completion of the auction, with the remainder due within 72 hours of the completion of the auction.  Only acceptable payments will be Paypal or Cashiers Check for the initial $1000 and only a bank drafted Cashier's Check or Cold Hard Cash will be accepted for the balance.

The vehicle will not be delivered to any delivery service or will it be released until payment is received in FULL!  I'll be happy to drop the vehicle off to a shipper, but only at the buyers expense and all arrangements are the responsibility of the buyer.  Buyer will sign a responsibility release, meaning once the vehicle is in posession of the shipping company, I am no longer responsible for any damages or missing items.  That will depend on the quality of shipper you, the buyer select and are willing to pay for.  Please ask any questions before it becomes an issue.

Should the bidder refuse to pay, I reserve the right to take legal action via EBAY and by Private Lawyer if Necessary, not only for the amount due for the vehicle but also for any damages to be deemed by my lawyer.
Of course I hope it never comes to that but I like to have my bases covered.

Vehicle is also for sale locally, and I reserve the right to end auction if vehicle sells privately.

Dodge brings Charger Widebody 'concept' to Spring Fest

Sun, Mar 24 2019

Last week we asked if an Instagram user had really seen a Dodge Charger Widebody cruising suburban Detroit. The answer is yes, he had. Dodge brought its Charger Widebody concept to Spring Fest 14, a celebration of everything built on Chrysler's LX platform. Note the use of the word "concept," and a Fiat Chrysler spokesperson telling journos, "We are taking a Charger design concept to Spring Fest to gauge feedback from the huge Dodge Charger, Challenger, and Chrysler 300 enthusiast base that attends the California event each year." Mark Trostle, head of design for Dodge and SRT, shared a few snaps of the Charger Widebody to Instagram. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Now ignore the word "concept." Of course a thing isn't done until it's done, but two years ago a thread on Charger Forums mused on a Photoshop of the sedan as a widebody. User ResumeSpeed chimed in to say, "Rear is not accurate as it's being revised. 2020 model year. Two Charger WB models: Hellcat and 392 Scat Pack." Fast forward to February of this year when Mopar Insider said its sources confirmed a thick-hipped Charger R/T Scat Pack and Hellcat with "drastically different looking front and rear fascias." Then, earlier this month, Allpar received a slide from what looks like an internal Dodge presentation explaining the "2020 Dodge Charger Hellcat Wide Body." The sedan in the slide looks almost exactly like the "concept." And now this. They even designed it with the Dodge Durango SRT grille treatment, which seems like a logical part of that 2020 revision. Giving the Charger a nip and tuck, a little more tire, and a $6,000 surcharge similar to the Challenger Widebody makes too much sense to merely toy with and then file away. Check out this video for a complete walkaround, and stay tuned.

Dodge Charger to slim down and run turbo four in next generation

Tue, May 31 2016

The current Dodge Charger is getting long in the tooth. It was originally introduced in 2005 as a 2006 model. In car terms, that's an eternity, though it's been refreshed twice. Still, FCA US will keep the LX-generation car going, reportedly facelifting it one last time for 2019. After that, there are some bigger changes in store . Automotive News is reporting that the follower to the current LX Charger will lose almost 500 pounds and will once again offer a turbo four-cylinder. You might remember the front-wheel-drive four-banger Charger of the early '80s. The recharged sedan will be twin-turbo and it's going to use the 300-horsepower four-cylinder engine currently under development for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler, AN says. The target weight for the future car is around 3,500 lbs, while the current car has a curb weight of nearly 4,000 lbs. Look for it to arrive in the early 2020s. The new platform will have a touch of Italian flair instead of the Daimler-Benz flavor embedded deep inside the LX cars. It will be built on an extended version of the 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia's "Giorgio" platform, according to AN. Dealers were already shown a styling-buck almost a year ago.

Dodge engineers trying to shoehorn Pentastar into Dart?

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

The fact that the Dart's launch has been a pretty dismal affair isn't what we'd call secret. Judging by its mounting inventories and poor critical reception, Dodge's successor to its unloved Caliber has struggled since it hit the market. And while both of those are difficult problems to address, at least their cause is well known - the powertrain.
Even Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has acknowledged that the powertrain options in the Dart are substandard, admitting at January's Detroit Auto Show that the powertrains are "less than ideal." Leading with the 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder found in the Fiat 500 Abarth left a bad taste in the mouths of consumers thanks to the laggy engine and dead throttle response (to say nothing of the manual and dual-clutch gearboxes that needed more refinement). The addition of the 184-horsepower 2.4-liter Tigershark in the Dart GT has helped matters some, but apparently Auburn Hills doesn't think it's quite enough.
If rumors are to be believed - get that salt ready - a possible solution may be in the works. A report from Allpar is claiming that Dodge is considering fitting a Pentastar V6 into the Dart's engine bay. As the Mopar-obsessed website points out, the critically acclaimed Pentastar is available in three different sizes - 3.0 liters, 3.2 liters and the original 3.6 liters. We don't get the 3.0 here in the US, but the 3.2 can be found in the new Jeep Cherokee and the 3.6 has been seemingly fitted to every model Chrysler can shoehorn it into.
