1957 Dodge Coronet (custom Royal Fury Belvedere) 2 Door Hardtop No Reserve on 2040-cars
Dundas, Ontario, Canada
|
This car was originally from the USA and was imported into Canada 16 years ago. It is located in Dundas, ON which is just outside Hamilton in storage. Viewing can be arranged. I purchased it off the previous owner who had it for 16 years and drove it every year except winter. I was going to customize it, but found something already done, so im going to put it up for sale. The Good:It runs, drives and stops. I had it at about 60-70mph on the highway for about an hour. I have drove it around town as well. I have drove maybe 3 or 400 miles in the car. The radiator and carburetor have been professionally rebuilt right after i got it. The brakes work as they will lock the wheels if you hit them hard enough, I do have 6 new wheel cylinders to go with the car as i was going to change to a dual master set up. The interior was done at some point. Its in very good condition. Original tube radio still works, wipers are new and work (no washer though), horn works. All glass is there and not cracked, windows roll up and down. Body is solid from the grass line up no rust. No rust on the doors. Original headliner still in car and intact. Starts right up, first time cold no problems. I have the original factory service repair manual and parts catalogue with all the parts numbers, and a owners manual. Cigarette lighter still works. Push button transmission functions great in all gears. Original generator works fine. Oil pressure is good. The oil pressure and amp meter both work fine. Has Power steering, but manual drum brakes. Heater works. Headlights, signal lights and tail and brake lights all work. All body parts needed are available. Classic 2 Current has the floors and all panels needed, also here on ebay. This is a good place to start on your restoration. Something you can drive while you work. The Bad: The floors, trunk and rockers were done before i bought it from previous owner. He drove it for 16 years, but they were done right. He described it as a wrap around job. So while you can drive this car as it sits, they need to be done again. Oil leak from valve covers, but have new valve cover gaskets in the trunk. Also speedometer and odometer dont work, I have new speedo in the trunk. The odometer reads 85000 and change and previous owner estimated current mileage at around 88000. The fuel gauge doesnt work, new owner had new fuel tank installed so not sure if sending unit in there or not. I did noticed if i fill it right up it will leak, it appears to come from where filler neck meets tank, so im guessing no seal was used in there.Temperature guage also doesnt work, I put in new thermostat and housing. But thats as far as i got there. There is some rust on the inside of the trunk lip, not on the trunk itself but just the lower substructure. The lower quarters, rockers, lower fender by the door all have bondo, as well the the top of the fenders by the headlights. Missing passenger side sun visor. Exhaust is aftermarket cherry bomb that wasnt routed correctly in my opinion, but leaks as well so needs to be redone. May be a leak from the manifold, but not sure. It will smoke after it gets warm, so may be from valve cover leak. Also paid a friend to change the oil and filter, and he complained about how hard it was to get the gaskets right (old style canister). So now when it runs there appears to be a slight leak from there. It didnt leak before he changed oil, so im guessing he botched the gaskets. When i got the car, the keys didnt work in any of the locks. I shot WD40 in them all, now they all work fine except drivers door. Will sell to USA and Canada only. Please only serious bidders, as this costs over a 125 dollars to list. Only bidders with over 10 feedback. I will cancel others unless you contact me first. I will assist in shipping if I can and can help load it, but shipping is the sole responsibility of the winning bidder. 500 Deposit due within 24 hours of auction end. If buy it now is used, 500 deposit is due immediately. Please feel free to ask any and all questions. I may have missed something, or if i haven't covered something you want to know i can surely find out if i can. Ive tried to be as honest on here as i can. As I hate surprises. Of course selling as is, where is with no warranty. Ive seen this listed in a few auctions so i will repeat it, its bid to win, not to view it. Thank you for your time. Best of luck. |

FCA recalls 894k total vehicles worldwide in two campaigns
Fri, Oct 30 2015FCA is recalling a total of 893,698 vehicles worldwide in two campaigns to fix problems with inadvertent airbag deployment, failure of the anti-lock brakes, and stability control systems in the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Liberty, Dodge Journey, and Fiat Freemont. 559,703 of these vehicles are in the US. The larger recall affects 284,089 examples of the 2003 Jeep Liberty and 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and there are also 13,411 of them in Canada, 6,277 in Mexico, and 48,212 outside the NAFTA region. Because of "electrical noise beyond the tolerance of the airbag electronic control module", part of that component can fail, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This can cause the front and side airbags to deploy and the seatbelt pre-tensioners to activate inadvertently. FCA US has seven reports of alleged injuries from this problem. To fix the situation, the Jeeps need their Occupant Restraint Control modules replaced, as well as the front- and side-impact sensors. According to the NHTSA, the replacement parts won't be available until early 2016. Still, FCA US will advise owners about the problem in a letter by the end of December and will send a second notification when the components are ready. The second campaign affects 275,614 examples of the 2012-2015 Dodge Journey in the US; plus 78,148 of them in Canada, 36,471 in Mexico, and 151,476 left-hand drive units outside of NAFTA where it's sold as the Fiat Freemont. On these vehicles, water intrusion can disable the anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control, although a warning light often illuminates when this issue occurs, and the problem doesn't affect regular braking. There are also no reports of injuries or accidents. To fix the issue, dealers will seal the ABS wiring harness and will replace any already affected components as necessary, like the ABS module or the headlamp and dashboard wiring harness. Statement: Occupant Restraint Control Modules October 30, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 284,089 older-model SUVs in the U.S. to replace their Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) modules and front and/or side-impact sensors, as required. Within this vehicle population, FCA US became aware of seven injuries caused by inadvertent air-bag deployments and advised NHTSA accordingly. The affected vehicles are not equipped with Takata Corp. air-bags. The Company is unaware of any related accidents.
FCA inline-six rumored to be real, headed for Jeep Wagoneer
Thu, Dec 20 2018In September, Allpar reported that that clues being dropped at Fiat- Chrysler headquarters, in the carmaker's factories, and on engineer resumes pointed to the development of an inline six-cylinder engine. The site has just proclaimed the rumor is reality, writing that the straight-six, "turbocharged to meet or beat 5.7 Hemi power ratings, with a smoother torque curve, is on the way." The motor's first outing is expected to be either the next-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee, debuting perhaps next year, or the Jeep Wagoneer, debuting in 2020 or 2021. "Tornado" is the purported codename for the power plant said to be just under three liters in displacement, expanding the family begun with the Global Medium Engine 2.0-liter turbo codenamed Hurricane. Engine bay constraints and a long use horizon mean engineers won't simply add two more cylinders to the GME, however. Allpar says the brief is to keep the Tornado GME-T6 — the alphanumeric for "turbocharged six" — no more than three inches longer than the Tigershark 2.4-liter four-cylinder. That means "major design changes" that could include a space-saving head, more closely spaced cylinders, and no cylinder liners. An FCA division called Comau could be called on for its "SmartSpray" plasma lining technology. Allpar muses that the standard version of the engine for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram could get a single twin-scroll turbocharger. Performance trims for Alfa Romeo and Maserati could get different heads and maybe twin turbos, an SRT version might also get both those tweaks. History shows that the Italian versions would make changes to the block, as well. Even so, the Tornado would be less expensive than any Ferrari-supplied V6. A straight-six would put FCA in company with current adopters BMW and Mercedes-Benz, future users like Jaguar, and perhaps Aston Martin. The engine would span the widest range of use cases in the U.S. carmaker's portfolio, though. Potential applications include being a base engine for Ram trucks, serving double duty as a base engine and 5.7-liter Hemi replacement for the Dodge Charger and Challenger, working in the high-end Jeeps, and as a properly hot trim — with Ferrari-designed heads — in the luxury Italian sports cars. The Alfa Romeo Giulia begs for just such motivation to fill the gap between the 280-hp, $42,695 Ti Sport RWD and the 505-hp, $73,700 Giulia Quadrifoglio RWD. And a twin-turbo inline-six in a Maserati Alfieri would stack up nicely with the Germans.
FCA recalls 1.1 million vehicles worldwide due to confusing shifter
Fri, Apr 22 2016Fiat Chrysler is recalling 1.1 million vehicles worldwide to address the problematic shifter used on cars with eight-speed automatic transmissions. The issue is that the console-mounted shifter acts like a rocker switch and always returns to the middle position after moved. This has been deemed confusing to drivers – confusing enough to cause some to exit their vehicles without first selecting Park and leading to the car rolling away. FCA says 41 injuries are related to the shifter problem, and no evidence of equipment failure has been found. The company will enhance warning chimes and alter the shift strategy, meaning alert messages will be displayed in case the driver door is opened while the engine is running. With the door open, the transmission will prevent the car from moving even if Park is not selected. The affected vehicles are certain model-year 2012–2014 Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 sedans, as well as model-year 2014–2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs, an estimated 811,586 US vehicles in total. The recall also affects 52,144 vehicles in Canada, 16,805 in Mexico, and 248,667 vehicles elsewhere. The shifter is used with ZF-designed and ZF-built eight-speed automatic; Audi uses a similar shifter setup in some of its vehicles, including the current-generation, which predated Chrysler's use of it. Chrysler uses a different, a rotating-dial-type shifter on eight-speed-equipped Rams. The company moved away from the problem shifter design in 2015 for the Charger and 300, and the Grand Cherokee's shift lever was modified for 2016. Owners of affected vehicles will be notified of the recall when service is available. Fiat Chrysler urges customers to follow the instructions in the vehicle's owner's manual in the meantime.
