1965 Dodge Coronet 500 Mopar Convertible Classic 440 V8 Vintage Project Car on 2040-cars
Arvada, Colorado, United States
Well I'm sure no expert on Mopars, but I received this 1965 convertible from a 70 year old man with heart problems. This is what I call a "Barn Find". He brought it from California with plans to restore it, and fix it up. He has bought some parts for it etc. It has been sitting idle for a year (and maybe more?) I believe he had big plans to restore it, but health issues have gotten in his way. Here is what I can tell you about the car... This Dodge will need whatever sitting idle for that long would dictate. (New battery, fluids clean fuel. etc.) It has not been driven in quite some time. The car has a 440 V-8 with a torqueflite automatic transmission. The engine is hot rodded up a bit, and looks to have all the normal goodies. This would make a neat daily driver or better yet, it might be a car, you could fully restore. It has the factory bucket seats with a console. The trunk has a little rust, but the floors, frame, engine compartment, etc. are excellent. I have a clear and open California title for it as well as all the spare parts he bought for it.(included). I wish I knew more about it, but it's just how it came out of storage, and just as I recieved it. Since it's a 1965 it also might make a neat Hemi-clone car? (just a thought). It reminds me of the famed "Dick landy" 65' Pro-stocker. It is 50 year old and I am selling it as-is. It's a bit of a project, but if your somewhat mechanical, this may be right up your alley? I would much rather you plan for the worst and hope for the best than be disappointed in anyway. This car was running and driving when he last parked it into storage. If I do not sell it "as-is", I will get it all serviced and running, and re-list it accordingly. My opening bid is $ 5,500.00 with no reserve. I think that whoever ends up with it will be very pleased. I can't imagine finding a neater, or a more nostalgic big-block / convertible like this for the price. Terms of sale... I can not ship..... This means I can not crate, box, disassemble, or deliver to a shipping company. I will however be more than happy to assist your shipper, however I can. PayPal is acceptable for the deposit only. The balance is due via bank/certified check, or cash in person within 7 days of the auctions end. If you are an out of the states buyer, I will gladly work with you in regards to the time and details it takes to process payment. |

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.
Chrysler recalls 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks
Sat, 09 Nov 2013Chrysler has announced that it will issue three separate recalls that will cover as many as 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks for "steering-system tie rods that may have been misaligned during assembly or steering-system service." The vast majority of these trucks were sold in the United States, though some trucks in Mexico, Canada or overseas will be called in, as well.
The largest of the three recalls covers an estimated 842,400 model-year 2003-2008 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. Two smaller campaigns will bring 294,000 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups, chassis cabs and 2008 Ram 1500 4x4 Mega Cabs; plus 43,500 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 4500 and 5500 4x4 chassis cabs into the dealer to be checked and repaired if necessary.
This is a very large recall, and Chrysler says it is "casting the net wider than necessary to identify those vehicles that require repair." The automaker estimates that "as many as 726,000 may not need repair."
Chrysler banks $507 million in Q2, trims 2013 earnings forecast
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Chrysler has some good news and some bad news. First, profits were up 16 percent over the second quarter of 2012, bringing the Auburn Hills, Michigan-based manufacturer $507 million on the back of strong demand for trucks and SUVs (a recurring theme this quarter, particularly in the US). Q2 revenue was up as well, from $16.8 billion in 2012 to $18 billion in 2013. The bad news is that the Pentastar's overall earnings forecast for net income in 2013 has been trimmed from $2.2 billion to between $1.7 and $2.2 billion, according to Automotive News.
In addition to the adjusted net income forecast, Chrysler tweaked its operating profit from $3.8 billion to between $3.3 and $3.8 billion. This has gone largely unexplained by Chrysler, perhaps hoping the news of a three-percent increase in its transaction prices for Q2 will allow it to sweep this adjustment under the rug.
The star of the show for Chrysler has been its US sales, which saw a 10-percent jump, both bettering the industry average of eight percent and improving over the same stretch of 2012. As with the increase in transaction prices, Chrysler has the new Ram pickup and Jeep Grand Cherokee to thank. Perhaps most worrying from this report, though, is that every brand in the automaker's stable saw an increase in sales... except for the Chrysler brand itself.
