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.

MotorWeek remembers a better time for Mitsubishi performance
Fri, Feb 26 2016Dodge still knows how to create an capable performance car – look at the Hellcats, for example – but the same isn't true for Mitsubishi. With the Lancer Evo's demise, we don't expect driving enthusiasts to clamor for any of the Japanese automaker's other products. Things used to be different, though. As MotorWeek found in its new Retro Review, the 1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 and its sibling, the Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo, were impressive sports coupes in their day. Dodge and Mitsubishi packed a bevy of cutting-edge tech into the coupes. In these trims, both sported all-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, an adjustable suspension, active exhaust, and automatic climate control. The 3000GT VR4 upped the ante even more with active aero parts at the front and rear. Their 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 was good for 300 horsepower and 307 pound-feet, which were good numbers at the time. This pair put all their gizmos to good use, too. MotorWeek compares the all-wheel-drive system's grip levels to a Porsche 911 Carrera 4. When was the last time you heard any favorable similarity between a Mitsubishi and a Porsche? The Stealth R/T Turbo and 3000GT VR4 came from a special time for Japanese sports coupes, when every brand had a halo model. Whether you were looking at Nissan 300ZX, Mazda RX-7, Toyota Supra, or even the Acura NSX, there was a lot to like on the market. MotorWeek's latest Retro Review offers a great reminder of that period.
Big rig gets blown over on Wyoming freeway, flattens police cruiser
Sun, Feb 12 2017A big rig navigating a stretch of windy Wyoming highway last week was blown over by high winds and landed on a Wyoming Highway Patrol cruiser. According to CBS News, three Wyoming Highway Patrol troopers responded to an accident along Interstate 80 near Elk Mountain on February 7. While the troopers were out of their cars assisting the crash victims, a white Volvo semi-truck lumbered up I-80 toward them. Wind gusts in that part of Wyoming were clocked in at up to 90 miles per hour on Tuesday, and one of them caught the semi as it neared the parked cruisers. Video from one of the cruiser's onboard cameras showed the big rig drift to the right as a big gust hit the trailer. Slowly, the whole rig tipped over and flattened one of the parked cruisers. The truck then slid a few feet on its side and came to a stop just aft of the cruiser. None of the troopers were injured in the incident, and two people in the truck came out of it unhurt as well. Patrol Lieutenant David Wagener told KGWN that that stretch of I-80 was closed on Tuesday to lightweight, high-profile vehicles. The truck driver was cited for the incident. High winds are no joke, and vehicles getting blown around or even clean off the road is a pretty common phenomenon. Way back in 2011, a truck got blown over in Utah. Then there was a train that got blown off a bridge in Louisiana in 2015.

Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car is ready to burn rubber at SEMA [w/video]
Wed, 05 Nov 2014The Dodge Charger R/T is all set to rocket down the drag strip in NHRA Funny Car competition with a completely redesigned body debuting at this year's SEMA Show. While only the front decal, side scallops and rear logo really signal this racer as a Charger, that doesn't take away from its promise of hitting absolutely ludicrous speeds.
The engineers' biggest tweak to the body was moving the cockpit further back. This created more clearance under the hood, and the change came with added advantage of giving the driver better visibility out of the car. Composites like Kevlar also helped make the one-piece shell even lighter, while not sacrificing strength.
The new design has already undergone extensive time in the wind tunnel and real-world runs to make sure that none of the changes negatively impacted the aerodynamics. With those tests out of the way, the Charger R/T Funny Car will have the first chance to truly prove itself in NHRA competition at the 2015 Winternationals from February 5-9 at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, CA.
