You are bidding on a 1966 Dodge Coronet 500 318 poly with a console shifted automatic. Was driven by the original owners between California and new mexico up unitl 1979 when the poly 318 blew up, the couple bought a new 1979 Chrysler and the coronet received a 318 and automatic tranny out of a wrecked 1978 cordoba. My dad bought the car in 1980 and drove it in this condition for 1 year until he sold it to his buddy. His buddy painted it, put mags on it, and swapped a four speed into it. The car sat in a field from 1995 until around 3 years when we received the car back from the family of my dads buddy after his passing. We bought a motorhome 413 with less than 40,000 miles on it, put 915 heads, a lumpy cam, new double roller timing set, new water pump, new melling HV oil pump, comes with a Mallory unilite distributor with Mallory coil and brand new MSD street fire plug wires, a deep oil pan and new gaskets/seals all the way around. It has a strong bottom end and low compression being that it was from a motor home. because of this we planned to supercharge it and make a nostalgic hot rod. 4 speed was rebuilt around 10 years ago and was never used after. The car has a cast iron bellhousing but it has a 10 1/2" clutch/flywheel. BUT we have an 11" flywheel with the car. so it needs an 11" clutch to work with the cast iron bellhousing. OR you need to buy a an aluminum bellhousing to fit the 10 1//2" clutch/flywheel. The body has 36,000 original miles on it. Car has an 8 3/4 rear end with 741 center section with 3:23 gears and a sure grip.

The car is totally rust free. It was originally pale yellow with a gold/tan interior, has the fender tag, door VIN and clear title. Minor surface rust on the floors and trunk. Fenders/Quarters/ doors have minor dents and require body work but all the original sheetmetal should be able to be saved. Car needs the 4 speed welded into place, the airshocks punched through the floor so it needs to be welded back together. Comes with tons of extra trim, 2 extra grilles, some extra turn signals and tail light, has the factory console that was cut to fit the four speed. Engine bay was sanded down and painted with 4 stage rattle can (primer, silver metal flake base, candy apple red top coat, clear coat), looks like nice candy apple red and turned out great. Finish putting it together and make a nostalgic drag car or tear it apart and restore it! GREAT father and son project, like it was with me and my dad. We have run out of money to finish it! Has all the seats and trim, missing one taillight surround, one rocker moulding and the trunk lip trim and maybe other misc. items.

Car may be missing more but it is 95% complete. CAR DOES NOT RUN, the shipper needs to be aware of this, car will be in roller form with NO brakes, We do not ship, we will help load the car with your arranged shipper, we will store it for 30 days after the end of the auction for free, after 30 days its $40 a month. NO refunds, returns. $500 deposit required by paypal with 24 hours of the auctions end.

Stellantis will enter joint venture with Samsung SDI for EV batteries

Tue, Oct 19 2021

SEOUL — South Korean battery maker Samsung SDI Co Ltd and global automaker Stellantis NV have agreed to jointly produce electric vehicle (EV) batteries for the North American market, a person familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. Samsung SDI, an affiliate of South Korean tech giant Samsung Electronics, already has EV battery plants in South Korea, China and Hungary, which supply customers such as BMW and Ford. "The two companies (Samsung SDI and Stellantis) have struck a MOU (memorandum of understanding) to produce EV batteries for North America," the person with knowledge of the matter told Reuters. The source spoke of condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. The person said the location of the battery joint venture is under review and will be announced later. In July, Reuters reported that Samsung SDI may build a battery plant in the United States, citing a company source. South Korea's Yonhap news agency earlier reported the two companies plan to build a factory in the United States, citing industry sources. Samsung SDI and Stellantis did not have immediate comment when reached by Reuters. Stellantis on Monday struck a preliminary deal with battery maker South Korea's LG Energy Solution (LGES) to produce battery cells and modules for North America. Shares of Samsung SDI were up 2.6% as of 0300 GMT, versus a 0.6% rise in the KOSPI benchmark index.

Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:

How good would this look as a Dodge? New Peugeot 408 is a cool EV crossover coupe

Wed, Jun 22 2022

Americans have long lusted after the forbidden fruits of the automotive markets: Vehicles offered elsewhere but not sold here in the United States. When Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, former parent to Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, and others, joined forces with PSA (Peugeot and others), there was hope that Americans could get hold of some quirky French cars as part of the deal. That hasn’t happened, at least not yet. As it turns out, Europeans get just as many boring crossovers as we do, though Peugeot thinks it has a solution with the new 408, an aerodynamic compact crossover with style for days. While we seriously doubt a rebadged 408 would ever show up on our shores, it's easy to imagine how a vehicle looking something like this on the same electrified platform could spawn a viable product for the American market. Squint a bit and "new electric Dodge Intrepid" comes to mind.Â Perhaps it shouldn't be surprising that France would come out with a new vehicle that seems well-matched to the American market. Utility vehicles made up 46% of new vehicle sales in France in May, matching the sales numbers of sedans in the country. PeugeotÂ’s banking on the fact that many people want the space and usability of a compact SUV but tire of the styling and ubiquity of the vehicle type. The fastback shape provides a more dramatic design look without completely sacrificing the characteristics that make SUVs so popular.Â Peugeot offers a traditional SUV in the 3008, but the 408 is sleeker and more aerodynamic. The automaker says that the 408 Â“offers a feline stance and unique allure, engineering excellence focused on efficiency and intelligent electrification, as well as the emotions provided by cutting-edge technologies dedicated to driving pleasure and instinctive use." Two plug-in hybrid powertrains will be offered first, producing 180 and 225 horsepower. A standard gas model will also be available with a 130-horsepower engine. All variants get an eight-speed gearbox, and Peugeot says an electric model will come later. No Stellantis brand in the United States currently offers a purely electric vehicle.Â Peugeot will build the 408 at its plant in Mulhouse, France, for the European market. The vehicle will go on sale early in 2023 and will later become available in China. Related video: Featured Gallery 2023 Peugeot 408 Green Green Dodge Citroen Crossover Future Vehicles
