1966 Dodge Coronet 500 2-door Hardtop 383 C.i. V8 - Classic Muscle Car on 2040-cars
Leesburg, Virginia, United States
1966
DODGE CORONET 500 To All: I’m testing the water (winter is coming to
northern Virginia - my garage space is in demand by the family) and listing my very nice,
driver condition 1966 Dodge Coronet 500 with modified / stroked 383 big block that
is a true Mopar torque monster, street legal and ready for local cruise-ins as
well as car shows. This classic Coronet 500 two door hardtop has the nostalgic
“muscle car” B-Body looks and lines, is well kept, clean and in good operating condition
throughout, was originally equipped from the factory with a 318-2bbl V8 and A/C
(both are now removed / gone…), A727 TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic transmission
with shift kit and higher stall converter, 8-3/4” rear (now sporting 4.10 gears
with Sure Grip unit) with newer B.F. Goodrich Radial P225/70R14 tires and dog
dish wheel covers, black front bucket seats with center console, AM radio (not
hooked-up), with power steering, light package and undercoating as the only factory
options. Heater core in vehicle, but not
connected. This classic Mopar muscle car has aftermarket tach, oil pressure and
water temp gauges, with working fuel gauge, lights and approx. 3,750 miles currently
showing on the working odometer that is not original based on the motor swap by
previous owner. I would rate this vehicle (original AZ car) a very reasonable
7.5 on a scale of 10 for the condition of the exterior paint (RR1 – Light Yellow),
body, trim and glass components and a strong 8 for the interior (black vinyl),
engine bay and trunk (jack assembly, spare tire, cover board and mat included) areas.
Original Fender Tag, CertiCard, Build Sheet, owners manual, receipts and prior
owner history information come with the vehicle. I’ve only owned this classic Dodge for five months,
have driven it over 350 miles and enjoyed it every time I fire-it-up, along
with the neighbors and locals who applaud the nostalgic muscle car appeal.
Based on the above, I’m including the ad listing description below from the
prior owner from MI for further details / clarification: “1966 Dodge Coronet 500, all original metal, original build

Dodge Vipers selling for $480k in China
Wed, Apr 29 2015Want to get your hands on a new Dodge Viper? Be prepared to pay dearly. It starts at nearly $90k here in the US, but that's nothing compared to what you'd have to pay for one if you lived in, say, China. CarsNewsChina.com reports on one Viper available in Beijing for an eye-watering 298 million yuan – equivalent to about $480,000 at today's exchange rates and representing more than a 500-percent markup. Part of that premium comes down to the Chinese tax code that charges a reported 60 percent for anything with an engine displacing over four liters. And the Viper's, we needn't remind you, is more than twice that. It naturally costs some to import a car to China as well, but most of the rest is pure profit. The Beijing dealership reportedly gets the cars from dealers in California, has already sold three and plans to import several more. The dealer can also get you (or wealthy Chinese individuals) a Corvette Stingray for a comparatively cheap 1.73 million yuan (or $280k). Related Video:
Ron Burgundy calls Durango a 'terrible car,' yet his ads help sales climb by 59% [w/videos]
Fri, 22 Nov 2013Ron Burgundy was put on this planet to do one thing: to read the news. If that ever falls through, though, the womanizing, scotch-drinking anchorman could have a great career just as a Dodge salesman. Bloomberg points out that sales of the 2014 Dodge Durango have rocketed up 59 percent in the first month of Chrysler's funny new ad campaign (which began in early October). But then again, the entire year has been strong for the big SUV, with year-over-year sales increases in the double and even triple digit percentages - including an increase of 117 percent in August.
Of course, the Durango has also received a wealth of new content and a freshened look for 2014 in addition to the Burgundy campaign, and that has to be helping close sales, too. Whether or not the spots themselves are leading to more sales may be a moot point, since they are definitely getting plenty of attention. Almost two months into the marketing tie-up between Dodge and the movie Anchorman 2, Dodge's YouTube videos have received well over seven million views. More than just YouTube shorts and television commercials, the Durango has even received late-night attention, including when Will Ferrell showed up in character as Ron Burgundy on Conan earlier this week.
In the interview, he calls the Durango a "terrible car" that "cracked in half," a joke that probably had Dodge ad execs squirming uncomfortably in their Barcaloungers. Scroll down to watch the Conan interview as well as some of our favorite Burgundy-pitched Durango ads. And there's still plenty of time to "touch" Ron to win a new Durango.
Dodge celebrates big B-day with 100th Anniversary Editions muscle cars
Wed, 20 Nov 2013Being in business for 100 years is a HUGE milestone, so we hope Dodge has more in mind to celebrate its centennial than just a special edition package for the 2014 Charger and Challenger. Called the 100th Anniversary Edition package, this collection of cosmetic enhancements will be available in limited quantities for both cars at a cost of $2,500.
Ordering a Charger or Challenger with the 100th Anniversary Edition package means starting with either a V6-powered SXT Plus or V8-powered R/T Plus model. They can each be ordered in many colors, but only the High-Octane Red Pearl Coat above is an anniversary exclusive. Each car also comes with an anniversary-exclusive set of 20-inch, five-spoke wheels with what Dodge calls "Granite Crystal pockets," a texture that's also mirrored on each car's grille.
Of course, there are commemorative badges galore affixed to the exterior of each car, including "Dodge Est. 1914" fender badges and "100" logos on the center caps of each wheel. The styling theme of each car's interior is a bit more interesting, with Dodge designers trying to evoke "the patina and machinist legacy of John and Horace Dodge," the company's founders. To that end, the leather interior can be had in Molten Red or Foundry Black Nappa, and each features a custom cloud overprint that makes the hide look like a working man's dirty dungarees. Designers also used brass-colored accent stitching on the interior's leather trim pieces, and affixed more "Dodge Est. 1914" badges to the front seat backs and floor mats. We do like the flat-bottomed steering wheel, and the Challenger 100th Anniversary Edition gets exclusive white gauges faces and the Charger black. The "100" on each car's speedometer is also highlighted in red.
