Overall:

You are bidding on a low mileage, rust free 1966 Coronet 440 Convertible survivor that has been stored inside and is in excellent overall condition with 77,000 actual miles.

This car has undergone a restoration to make sure it is a safe and beautiful collector car.  Mechanically it is like new and cosmetically it looks and shines beautifully.  This car would do well in any car show and brings compliments everywhere it is driven. 

This car spent its life in the dry deserts of Texas and Oklahoma until it was purchased by a collector where it was properly stored indoors and covered.

Rust free desert car with solid floors, doors, hinges, etc.

All body lines are straight. Doors, trunk, and hood line up correctly and close solidly.  This is one of the most solid cars I have seen and does not appear or handle like a 50 year old car.  It is a dream to drive and always receives compliments!

New power steering works excellent with no leaks.

New brakes work solidly and car stops straight.

Tires have no cracks or leaks.

All glass is clear and crack/chip free.

Every option works.

Includes an original 1966 owner’s manual…not a reprint.

Driveline:

Numbers Matching 318 “Polysphere” Cubic Inch Engine and Automatic 3-Speed Transmission.

The original 318 cubic inch V-8 Polysphere factory engine starts easy, runs strong, and does not make any abnormal sounds or smoke. These engines are notorious for their strength and longevity and this one is no exception.  In truth, it runs very QUIET, idles SMOOTH, and accelerates STRONG…this car is a dream to drive. 

The automatic transmission shifts into and out of gears easily and shifts between gears solidly.

Exhaust system is quiet and solid with chrome tip.

Engine bay is clean and freshly detailed as pictures show...even small items like the battery tray hold down were replaced during restoration!

Interior:

The instrument panel is 100% functional and original. The gauges were cleaned and the indicator pointers were repainted orange to brighten them up.

Dash is clean, soft, and has no cracks.

Door panels are nice with no cracks or tears as pictures show.

Remote operated rear-view mirror.

Floor Pans are clean and solid as picture shows. 

New foil sound deadening underlayment under new carpet as seen in pictures.

Newly upholstered seats with high grade material.  This modern upholstery was custom made and feels much softer and wears much longer than typical on-line factory replacements. They are beautiful and look correct while feeling much more luxurious than typically sold by restoration shops.

The trunk is solid as shown in pictures and very clean with correct size spare, original jack, original wood tire cover insert, and new floor mat.

Exterior:

The paint is newer within the last few years and shines beautifully. Original color was blue but this car looks much better in red and color change was done professionally with no overspray. (i.e. door jams painted, door hinges color matched, trunk and hood hardware and hinges masked, trim removed, strike plates masked, etc.)

The convertible top works correctly and opens/closes smoothly with dash mounted switch.  The hydraulics are smooth running with no leaks or seepage from their new seals.

The original convertible top rear window is discolored and torn.  A new complete top including window, rail pads, staples, instructions,etc. still in the box from “theconvertibletopguys” is provided.

The car sale also includes a correctly fitted, high quality, soft, car cover.

Contact me with any questions and Happy Bidding!

Stellantis reports $15B profit in first year of merger

Wed, Feb 23 2022

FRANKFURT, Germany — Automaker Stellantis said Wednesday that it made 13.4 billion euros ($15.2 billion) in its first year after it was formed from the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Group. The earnings nearly tripled profits compared with its pre-merger existence as two separate companies, as the maker of Jeep, Opel and Peugeot vehicles exploited cost efficiencies from combining the businesses. The result compared to a combined 4.79 billion euros for the separate companies in 2020 before the merger, which took effect on Jan. 17, 2021. Revenue for the combined business rose 14%, to 152 billion euros. CEO Carlos Tavares said the results “prove that Stellantis is well positioned to deliver strong performance" and had overcome “intense headwinds” during the year. Automakers have struggled with shortages of key parts such as semiconductor electronic components and rising costs for raw materials as the global rebound from the worst of the coronavirus pandemic brings more demand. The company said the benefits of the merger were worth some 3.2 billion euros during the year. Mergers can lead to streamlined costs as companies combine functions and spread fixed costs over a larger revenue base. The company accelerated its rollout of battery-powered vehicles, with sales of low-emission vehicles reaching 388,000 — an increase of 160%. Stricter environmental regulations in Europe and China are pushing automakers to roll out more electric vehicles with longer range. Stellantis started production of a hydrogen fuel cell commercial van under its Opel brand in December. Stellantis' other brands include Chrysler, Citroen, DS, Fiat, Maserati, Ram and Vauxhall.

Chrysler minivans under investigation for stalling after fuel refill

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, at least one man has reported that his 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan stalled unexpectedly on the highway shortly after being refueled. The unidentified man who contacted NHTSA regarding the issue cited as many as eight similar instances reported by other drivers.
NHTSA has announced that it will launch an inquiry into this issue, which could affect as many as 160,000 minivans from Dodge and Chrysler that were sold in 2007 (or more, if a problem is found that extends to additional models years, we'd assume). As of yet, there's no formal investigation, let alone a recall, on these vans, as the agency is merely determining if further action is needed.
Two months ago, Chrysler recalled nearly 700,000 vehicles, the majority of which were minivans, from the 2008-2010 model years to replace ignition switches after an investigation found that their weak springs and detent positions could fool a driver into thinking the car was in the "Run" position, when it's actually in the "Accessory" position.

Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat in the works

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

In Autoblog's recent First Drive of the 2015 Challenger SRT with the 707-horsepower Hellcat V8 we found its engine to be as brutally powerful as the numbers would suggest, even if it wasn't the best handler. However, the muscle-car-styling just isn't right for some buyers that need four doors and proper rear seats to haul around the family. It appears that Dodge has their backs, though, because the Hellcat is very likely on its way into the Charger in the near future. Imagine the looks on your passengers' faces when you stomp down on the throttle.
According to Road and Track, when Dodge submitted the Hellcat for engine power certification to the Society of Automotive Engineers, the company included the Charger on the paperwork. That showed that the automaker wanted the engine checked out for the sedan, too. R&T reckons the 707-hp Charger would hit the road about a year from now, clearing the Challenger for a year of exclusivity with the powerplant.
When the Charger SRT Hellcat does hit the road, it may carry a very special accolade. Assuming nothing beats it in the meantime, it might be the world's highest horsepower production sedan. Think on that for a second. Even a Mercedes S65 AMG only has 621 horsepower, though a good bit more torque at 738 pound-feet to the Dodge's 650 lb-ft. So while the beastly engine is getting put into other models, where else would you like to see it? The Ram? Grand Cherokee? Let us know in Comments.
