Up for auction is a 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 2 Dr. Hard Top. I based the look of the car on a Super Stock/Max Wedge Dodge. It has a 1972 440 HP Motor and a 727 Torqueflite Transmission with 8 3/4 rear-end. Car shows 62,000 on the odometer but the odometer does not work. The engine is internally stock as far as I know. Since I have had the car I put a Mopar Performance Electronic Ignition Conversion, Holley 750 cfm carb, Edelbrock RPM Intake, Headman Headers, 2 1/2 inch exhaust with Doug's Electric Exhaust Cut Outs and Flowmaster Super 44 Mufflers, rebuilt 727 with a TCI Breakaway Conv. (was planning a cam upgrade but never did it) and shift kit with B&M Shifter. Also has 4.10 Gears, Mopar Performance Super Stock Springs, Competition Drag Shocks front & rear, Drive Shaft Loop and Racing Wheel Studs front & rear as well as a Line Lock. Has a shift light tach with rev. limiter and after market gauges. Car has new brakes front & rear. Front wheels are 15x5.5 and the rear are 15x7 with new tires. Added the Fiberglass Super Stock Dodge Hood Scoop. The scoop is a replica of a 1965 Super Stock Dodge hood scoop.
The vehicle has no major rust issues. Just some surface rust under the vehicle as this is a factory non under coat car. The previous owner had a quick paint job done on it and there is some overspray and dirt in the paint. All of the stainless trim is there and is in good shape. I would say it is a good 10 footer. Interior needs to be restored, the radio does not work and it has some interior lights that do not work. Front bumper has some chrome peeling off of it. I was planning on putting on a Fiberglass front bumper and hood but never got around to it. The car runs and drives good. If it wasn't for the 4.10s I would not hesitate to take it on an extended road trip, as is it is only driven locally. It has a clear title and I have most of the receipts for the upgrades that I have done. Car has been garage kept since I have owned it. Vehicle does have the correct vintage 1965 Texas Plates on it.
The car is being sold as is and there is no warranty. Winning bidder will need to pay a $500.00 deposit within 48hrs. Complete Payment must be made within 7 days and purchaser is responsible for transportation arrangements. Happy Bidding!!

Corvette Z06 and Viper TA square off at the strip
Wed, Jan 21 2015There are many long-standing grudge matches among automobiles: 911 vs GT-R, Mustang vs Camaro, Ferrari vs Lamborghini... but as far as high-end American metal goes, it doesn't get much more legendary than Viper vs 'Vette. So after Chevy released the new Corvette Z06, we knew it was only a matter of time before it would have to square off against the Viper TA. And what better place to pit these two parallel pillars of American performance than on the drag strip? Fortunately that's just what we have here. In one corner, the 2014 Dodge Viper TA, with its 8.4-liter V10 pumping out 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. In the other, the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the supercharger on its 6.2-liter V8 more than making up for the discrepancy in displacement and cylinder count to produce 650 hp and just as much torque. But numbers don't tell the whole story, so watch the video clip to see which reaches the end of the quarter-mile first.

Chrysler recalling 780k minivans over fire risk
Fri, 09 May 2014Chrysler is recalling 780,000 of its Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2010 to 2014 model years due to the possibility of circuits overheating, which can lead to a fire. Of the 780,000 total vans being recalled, Chrysler estimates that 644,850 are in the US, 106,980 are in Canada, 8,009 are in Mexico, and 20,638 are in other markets. All of the affected vehicles were built between August 25, 2010 and October 31, 2013.
Chrysler's engineers discovered that beverage spills or exposure to moisture (from rain, snow, car washes, and the like) were linked to circuits shorting in the window switch assembly. Short circuits can overheat, and thus, cause a fire.
Chrysler will contact owners and let them know when they may schedule service, at which point, the window switches will be replaced. In the interim, the automaker says that owners may visit their dealers after May 14 to have the switches disconnected.
MotorWeek relives '80s coupes with Dodge Daytona, Ford Escort EXP
Thu, Aug 6 2015Get ready for a wave of nostalgia and the rapid realization of the huge progress in performance cars over the last 30 years. For its latest Retro Review, MotorWeek takes a look back at two, front-wheel drive coupes from the '80s that seem to have entirely vanished from the roads today. Both the 1986 Dodge Daytona CS and the 1986.5 Ford Escort EXP were considered affordable, sporty options in their day, but the passage of time hasn't been kind to either of their specs. The Daytona certainly looks the part of a performance machine with a body that's reminiscent of other '80s coupes, like the third-gen Chevrolet Camaro. However with 146 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque from a 2.2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, acceleration wasn't exactly a strong suit. MotorWeek complained about copious torque steer, as well. The optional CS suspension upgrade package on this Daytona was apparently a nod to Carroll Shelby who was working with Dodge at the time. If anything, the Escort EXP withstands the test of time even worse. As a two-seat coupe, you might have expected Ford's engineers to really turn up the performance to fit the sporty image that the exterior conveyed. That didn't really happen, and depending on which model buyers ordered, they got either 86 horsepower with a 1.9-liter engine or the "high-output" version of that mill with 108 hp.
