1966 Dodge Coronet We Code Police/fleet Car on 2040-cars
Spokane, Washington, United States
|
Unavailable for public purchase, the WE series cars were fleet vehicles sold to police departments and insurance companies. Production was very low and few survive as a result of years of these strippers being used as parts cars for the sexier models. But with the recent uptick in popularity of base models and strippers, this ultra-stripper should be a great restoration candidate. Its nearly rust-free condition should be attractive to any enthusiast, and with only 39,000 original miles, it is a true survivor that should require less than normal restoration investment to make this a real standout car.
I traced this car to Libby, Montana, and upon contacting the City, County, and police departments, was unable to confirm if this was indeed one of their cars, (basically, they never got back to me on promises to "look into it") ... but the City did dissolve their police dept. in 1967 to use County services and this may explain the car's low miles and civilian end use. More investigation might get a hard answer, but I will leave this for a future owner to push. Options appear to be limited to basic radio, tinted glass, and 15" wheels, the latter perhaps part of the fleet package ? I won't get all flowery telling you how "awesome" this car is like so many other ebay sellers. Anyone who knows B-body knows how special this beast is. It is a barn find, not driven since 1979. It has 39,830.4 original miles and the transmission interior and rear end reflect a very low miles car. It needs a little TLC, but it is all there, very unmolested original, and VERY restorable. Wheels were blasted and repainted and the car sits on brand new, high quality radials. Feel free to ask any specific questions. I am selling this car with bill of sale, as I have lost the title. Potential buyers are invited to inspect this car in person. Winning bidder is expected to make 100% payment of winning bid within 10 business days of auction end. Pickup shall be arranged to happen within 30 days of auction end, unless other arrangements are agreed to by seller. Cash, or cashier's check are acceptable payment methods. Buyer is responsible for pickup or shipping from point of sale. Car is for sale locally and auction will be cancelled if sold locally first. I encourage all interested buyers to contact me directly for an honest description to any questions you might have I am available most any time between 8:00am and 8pm PST. 509 . 953 . 4150 |

Dodge Hellcat Widebody delivers Christmas tree at 174 mph
Thu, Dec 21 2017The holidays are here, and so last-minute shoppers are going to be in a serious rush to get all the items they need, especially Christmas shoppers that haven't even put up a tree yet. Those seriously late folks may want to invest in a Challenger Hellcat because apparently they can go an incredible 174 mph with a Christmas tree strapped to the roof. This was discovered by the folks at Hennessey. They got a Hellcat Widebody from Dodge for the little experiment, along with a suction cup mount roof rack from SeaSucker and a real Christmas tree from Lowe's. Then it was off to the Continental Tire test track in Texas to see how fast it could go, which, as mentioned was 174 mph. As you'll see in the video, it takes quite a bit of road to move up from 170 to 174 mph. It's impressive that the tree and roof rack don't seem to budge. And it's all capped off with a huge smokey burnout to the sound of V8 rumble and supercharger whine. It's a fun way to get into the holiday spirit. And we'll look forward to next year when maybe Dodge will give Hennessey a Demon to try out. Related Video:
How fracking is causing Chrysler minivans to sit on Detroit's riverfront
Fri, 25 Apr 2014It's fascinating the way that one change to a complex system can have all sorts of unintended consequences. For instance, there are hundreds of new Chrysler Town and County and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans built in Windsor, Ontario, sitting in lots on the Detroit waterfront because of the energy boom in the Bakken oil field in the northern US and parts of Canada.
The huge amount of crude oil coming from these sites mostly use freight trains for transport, and that supply boom has resulted in a shortage of railcars to carry other goods. According to The Windsor Star, North American crude oil transport by train has gone from 9,500 carloads in 2008 to 434,032 carloads in 2013. Making matters worse, some North American rail infrastructure is still damaged because of this year's harsh winter, and that's slowing things down even further.
Chrysler admits to The Star that it has had some delivery delays due to the freight train shortage. In the meantime, it's using more trucks to deliver its vehicles. Trucking is a far less economical solution, partially because a train can carry so many more units at one time, but alternatives are slim. The Windsor plant alone has a deal for 33 trucks to distribute the minivans around Canada and the Midwestern US.
Dodge Charger Hellcat hitting 60 in 2.9 seconds on drag radials?
Thu, 02 Oct 2014The Dodge boys and their cousins from SRT have shoehorned the same 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged V8 into both the Dodge Challenger and Charger. The former being a two-door, it's lighter than the latter four-door sedan. So it would stand to reason that the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would be the quicker of the two, right?
Only that's not necessarily proving to be the case. On stock rubber, yes, the coupe beats the sedan: Dodge quotes a 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds for the Charger SRT Hellcat and 3.5 for the Challenger. Same gap across the quarter-mile: 11 seconds flat for the Charger versus 10.8 seconds for the Challenger. But according to recent reports, the story changes when you put both on drag radials.
While visiting Chrysler HQ in Auburn Hills, MI, TorqueNews.com caught wind of performance figures for the Charger Hellcat on drag tires: 0-60 in a mind-blowing 2.9 seconds and a quarter-mile in just 10.7. The latter figure just barely pips the Hellcat-powered Challenger's NHRA-certified figure of 10.8, making the Charger not only the fastest sedan on the market, but also the fastest muscle car. What isn't immediately clear, however, is whether the drag radials in question have any tread on them and are street-legal, or if they're pure slicks confined to a closed strip.
