Year:1965 Mileage:98061
Location:

Mesa, Arizona, United States

Mesa, Arizona, United States

 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.

MotorWeek revisits the awesome, original Dodge Viper

Sat, Jun 6 2015

MotorWeek is bringing the automotive world a wonderful blast from the past with its latest Retro Review. Not only does the video feature the now-famous, original Dodge Viper, but this is also a chance to watch one lapping Pocono International Raceway in a test of track prowess. This segment was MotorWeek's first chance to unleash the Viper around a racecourse, and the show took advantage of the opportunity. In addition to the usual 0-60 mph and quarter-mile tests, the 400-horsepower V10 is let loose to do lap after lap. The clip offers a great dose of nostalgia and is worth a watch to remember the intense enthusiasm surrounding the Viper at the time.

Chrysler, Nissan minivans earn 'dire' crash test results, says IIHS [w/video]

Fri, Nov 21 2014

First introduced in 2012, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's small-overlap frontal crash test has become the bane of many auto engineers' existence. It's a particularly steep design challenge because it forces just 25 percent of a vehicle's front end to take the brunt of a 40-mile-per-hour impact. The newly released results of four family-minded minivans underscore just how difficult the crash test is: only one scored an Acceptable rating, and the other three did very poorly. The 2008-2015 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan, plus the 2011-2015 Nissan Quest, all received Poor ratings in the test, the IIHS' lowest possible score. The three of them showed significant crash intrusion into the driver's area. The dummy in the Nissan actually had to be cut out of the vehicle, with an IIHS spokesperson remarking, "the structure collapsed like a house of cards." In the Fiat Chrysler Automobile vans, the steering wheels moved out of the way, making the airbag less effective and letting the driver's head hit the dashboard. While it was not actually crashed, the agency is also giving the 2009-12 Volkswagen Routan a Poor score because it shares a structure with the FCA models. The newly released results of four minivans underscore just how difficult the small-offset crash test is. The refreshed 2015 Toyota Sienna (shown), conversely, earned an Acceptable rating and is also a Top Safety Pick+ because of its optional forward collision warning and automatic braking system. While the crash test dummy moved around during the impact more than the agency would have liked, sensors showed a low risk of injuries. The IIHS tested the Honda Odyssey last year, and it earned a Good overall score, the agency's best ranking. It's also a Top Safety Pick+ vehicle. The only member of the minivan segment left to test is the latest Kia Sedona, and the Institute is reportedly waiting a little longer for Kia to make changes to improve the model's performance. When reached for comment, Nissan spokesperson Steve Yaeger provided Autoblog with the following statement: "Nissan is committed to vehicle safety and believes that consumers should have information about crash protection so they can make educated buying decisions. Nissan is proud of the 2014 Quest's "good" rating in the IIHS front moderate overlap and side impact tests as well as a "good" head restraint rating.

The 2016 Dodge Charger Pursuit vehicles are getting Uconnect 12.1. The system's new laptop size touch screen will be dash mounted and at 12.1" is 5 times larger than the current Uconnect 5.0 system.

The SRT pursuit vehicles will also be getting 370 hp, factory-installed Mopar upfit packages and an advanced all-wheel-drive system for maximum tactical performance, all-weather traction and fuel-efficiency. [00:01:00] It's clear that the new Charger pursuit vehicles have all the best tech available from Dodge but one important question remains: Do these cruisers got S.C.M.O.D.S.?
