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. |

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
Chrysler to accelerate production of 2013 Ram and V6 engines
Fri, 16 Nov 2012Chrysler is adding a third shift at its Warren Truck plant to meet demand for the new 2013 Ram pickup. And with tight supplies of its Pentastar V6, the company is also boosting output at its Mack Engine plant.
The expansions will add 1,250 jobs and are part of a $238 million investment by Chrysler in the Detroit area. Warren's third shift will begin work sometime in the spring, a Chrysler rep told Automotive News. Mack's increased Pentastar production a could include both 3.6 and 3.2-liter engines.
The company says it also plans to invest $40 million in its Trenton Engine plant to allow for production of a 3.2-liter V6 as well as the Tigershark inline-four for the upcoming Jeep Liberty replacement.
25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.
