This auction is for a "RARE" 1966 Dodge Coronet 440. California desert car with next to no rust and still has the original Warranty card. I purchased the car in Palm Desert CA in December 2003. It has the original matching # 361ci motor and automatic transmission with power steering. Manual brakes - but turned drums, rebuilt wheel cylinders and fresh brake shoes. Hooker headers with Flowmaster Series 20 mufflers with a nice deep throaty sound, and has set off car alarms. It has a very aggressive cam which makes it hard to start at times. The car was originally KK medium turqouis as seen in the engine compartment pictures. It was painted at Maaco in June 2008 a Dodge Signal Green including all jambs, with a hot rod matte black hood color - cost $1,541. It's been garaged ever since. Although it's not true to car, I would recommend a matte black ribbon at the rear of the car for balance. Both front and rear sets repaded and recovered by West Coast Customs for $1,068. Front bumper straightened and re-chromed by Keystone in Stockton CA. New gas tank, gommet, filler neck seal, and elbows. New trunk mat, divider insulation, and spare tire cover. New truck lid seal installed. New front and back door panels. New black carpet from Jim's Auto Parts. Under the carpet, we installed noise and heat insulation pad. New glove box liner and headliner insulation not yet installed. But do have bows and clips. New hood to cowl seal installed. New Edelbrock intake manifold with Edelbrock 600 cfm carb. The car had a huge tunnel ram intake with way too much carb.when I purchased. The body trim pieces were rattle can painted flat black - but didn't stick as you can see in the pics. They need to be removed and either stripped of the paint or powder coated flat black. New hood insulation installed. Car has ALL the correct badges and letters. Beautiful classic Mopar rally rims with 60R/15 BF Goodrich tires all around purchased at Stockton Wheels for about $1,000. New KYB shocks on all four. Mallory electronic iginition. Accell Super Coil. Dash in decent shape but needs work. Speedometer and gas level not working. Rear deck lid needs to be finished. Front windshield has a chip in it - and all other glass is great. I do have some misc. parts that go with the car.
This is NOT a frame off restoration. It was a car my son and I worked on and he drove all through high school. He's now graduated from college and moving overseas. We love this car and both of us hate to see it go. It's not a showroom car but a quality daily driver and close to being finished.
This car is sold in "As Is" condition with no warranties implied or agreed upon. PayPal payment highly preferred. Clear CA Title with current registration.

Stellantis will give its brands 10 years to prove they deserve to live
Thu, May 13 2021Formed by the merger of PSA Peugeot-Citroen and Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles, Stellantis has 14 brands under its roof, a number that makes it one of the largest groups in the industry. Rumors claimed not every brand would survive, with Chrysler often earmarked to get axed, but the firm said it will give them all a chance to shine. "We're giving each (brand) a chance, giving each a time window of 10 years and giving funding for 10 years to do a core model strategy. The CEOs need to be clear in brand promise, customers, targets, and brand communications," announced Stellantis boss Carlos Tavares during the Financial Times' Future of the Car event. His comments confirm Chrysler fans and dealers don't need to worry about the future — at least not yet. And, against all odds, Lancia enthusiasts can breathe a sigh of relief, too. Former FCA head Sergio Marchionne warned of the brand's demise on several occasions. Alfa Romeo is safe for now, too, as is Vauxhall, which are basically just Opels sold in the United Kingdom with a different badge. The engagement made by Tavares also means Stellantis won't divest any of its brands to raise capital until at least 2031. It's now up to each executive team to make a case for the brand they run, an unusual survival-of-the-fittest strategy in an era when cutting costs is more common than spending cash. Diving into the vast Stellantis parts bin should help even the most troubled brands turn their fortunes around on a relatively tight budget. It seems likely that survive Chrysler will need to look beyond the 300 and the Pacifica/Voyager, the only models in its range, and completely reinvent its image, which is currently nebulous at best. Lancia, once the champion of luxury, performance, and innovation, faces the same challenge. It's not starting quite from scratch, it's relatively popular in its home country of Italy, but it will need to think globally and expand outside of the city car segment to survive.

China's Geely says it has no plan to buy Fiat Chrysler — as FCA stock leaps
Wed, Aug 16 2017HONG KONG — Chinese carmaker Geely Automobile denied media speculation on Wednesday that it planned to make a takeover bid for Fiat Chryslerk Automobiles (FCA), the world's seventh-largest automaker. Geely was one of several Chinese carmakers cited in by Automotive News, which said representatives of "a well-known Chinese automaker" had made an offer this month for FCA, which has a market value of almost $20 billion. "We don't have such a plan at the moment," Geely executive director Gui Shengyue told reporters at an earnings briefing, when asked if Geely was interested in Fiat. He said a foreign acquisition would be complicated, but he did not elaborate. "But for other (Chinese) brands, it could be a fast track for their development," Gui added. However, a source close to the matter said FCA and Geely Automobile's parent firm, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, had held initial talks late last year, without disclosing their nature. The source confirmed Geely was no longer interested in FCA, noting that the parent company had only three months ago announced its first push into Southeast Asia with the purchase of 49.9 percent of struggling Malaysian carmaker Proton, a deal that also included a stake in Lotus. Geel's denial failed to dent FCA's stock. The price of its Milan-based shares has jumped more than 10 percent to a 19-year high since Automotive News first reported on Monday, citing unnamed sources, that FCA had rejected the Chinese offer as too low. FCA stock on the New York Stock Exchange rose sharply on Monday from $11.60 to $12.38 and on Wednesday was trading at $12.84. FCA declined to comment on Wednesday. FCA Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne has repeatedly called for mergers as a way of sharing the costs of making cleaner, more advanced cars, but he has repeatedly failed to find a partner and retreated from his search for in April, saying FCA would stick to its business plan. He has also spoken of spinning the successful Jeep and Ram divisions off from FCA. Europe's largest carmaker, Volkswagen, and General Motors have both said they are not interested in talks with FCA. On Wednesday, Geely Automobile reported a doubling of first-half profit, above expectations, as cars designed with Sweden's Volvo won over domestic consumers. Volvo is a unit of the Zhejiang Geely group, and has recently announced it will share its technology with Geely.
Florida Highway Patrolman seen watching YouTube in traffic
Fri, Apr 8 2016The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating allegations of a trooper watching YouTube videos on his official in-car laptop while driving. Lee County Florida resident James Peebles caught the alleged offender during his morning commute in early April, NBC2 reported. After exiting I-75, Peebles said that the FHP cruiser rolled up next to him at a stop light where he could clearly see the trooper inside watching a car race on Youtube on an official FHP laptop. Peebles put his car in park and snapped a picture of the cruiser before continuing to work. Later that day, he posted the photo to Facebook where it quickly went viral. "It blew my mind," Peebles told NBC2. "Everybody's human though, so I do know that we all make mistakes." NBC2 contacted the FHP for a statement after speaking to Peebles. An FHP spokesperson told the station that troopers are allowed to use their laptops while driving squad cars when carrying out official duties such as "simple inquiries" and "reviewing the nature of incoming messages". Other Florida motorists, like Jim Kosmerick who was interviewed by NBC2 for this story, don't consider watching an old race on YouTube to be official FHP business. "It's not official business, there's no way you can convince me otherwise," said Kosmerick. The FHP says that they are now aware of this fast moving viral image, and that they are taking the issue very seriously. They state that an investigation into the matter is underway, and that troopers are expected to abide by department policy and lead by example.
