1967 Dodge Coronet 500 Convertible Numbers Matching Nos Project Rt Hemi 426 440 on 2040-cars
Mahopac, New York, United States
I have lost my garage space and up for bid is a 1967 Dodge Coronet 500 convertible project car . Here's the opportunity to build a convertible the way you want to, in the color you want. Not many of these left. The convertible is apart, saving you lots of hours on the resto. More info is available upon request, if you want to call and discuss the car, contact me as some of you already have, I am willing to answer all questions, I just can't do it in individual emails. This is a nice solid project. The convertible is garaged and has a fender tag and vin tag that can be seen in the photos. I did not decode the fender tag.I have a clean title for the car. It was running before taken off the road. It has a 318 automatic with column shift with buddy seat. This may be numbers matching with original equipment, I am not 100 % sure. I have purchased 2 rust free doors (1 is ready for paint), 2 rust free fenders and a decklid for the car from Texas and Arizona. The car will need body work in the usual spots like both of the the lower quarters. The car has surface rust that can be seen in the photos The glass is all there and the top worked before it was taken off the road. I would say the car is 95% complete in terms of original parts. Originally the car was yellow with a black top and black interior. The previous owner had the stress boxes fixed and trunk redone. The car comes with Magnum 500 wheels. The convertible, the electric, lights, signals and electric top etc. was working before it was taken off the road. The car is sold in as is condition with no warranties implied or inferred. The item is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Please make sure that this is the item for you. Buyers with limited feedback must contact me first before bidding. I encourage those interested to view the car in person. I accept paypal, personal check and other forms of payment. If someone really wants the cars, other arrangements can be made or a buy it now option can be added. Thanks for viewing my auction. I uploaded some photos, but the lighting is not the best. The rear shot of the car shows the rust that will need to be fixed. The 2nd photo shows some of the parts I have for the car. If the weather cooperates, I hope to get the car outside for some better shots.
A photo of the fender tag has been added. The car is located 40 miles north of NYC. The vert is a 318 car and the odometer has turned over meaning it is probably over 100, 000. The car has super stock leaf springs and new shocks. I have the door glass vent frames and vent windows and the door lock/handle hardware. The frame rails and stress boxes and trunk are solid. Some primer red primer overspray can be seen in the photos. The previous owner put in a new gas tank. The car will need body work in the quarters, cowl and decklid area. If someone would like to discuss more details about the car, contact me 8 4 5 - 2 0 0- 9 3 6 5 The car does not have tail panel or tail lights, bucket seats or hood. I am sure that I am not mentioning something. Again, please ask questions. Thanks for the overwhelming response I have the door glass, vent frames, vent windows and the door lock/handle hardware and lots of hardware bagged and labeled as seen in the photos. The vert has power steering. I have a 66 Coronet 500 roller that could be bought with the car or separately. It has a fender tag, certicard and vin. Thanks for looking |

Dodge Viper to out-Hell the Hellcat with supercharged V10?
Wed, 20 Aug 2014The Viper wouldn't be the Viper if it wasn't the most powerful model under the Chrysler umbrella. But with the arrival of the Hellcat engine in the Dodge Charger and Challenger, the Viper has fallen behind in the bragging rights department: where the new supercharged V8 produces 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, the naturally aspirated V10 offers "only" 640 hp and 600 lb-ft - gargantuan output figures by almost any other standard, but crucially behind on the SRT power scale. Conner Avenue is going to have to do something about that.
Although the Hellcat's engine reportedly won't fit under the Viper's hood, SRT is now rumored to have another trick up its sleeve: supercharge the existing V10. According to the Pentastar performance enthusiasts at allpar.com, Chrysler has already taken delivery of the first such prototype engines so that it can begin the process of fitting it into an upgraded Viper.
The spooled ten-pot is tipped to produce around 800 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. More than that and the Viper's drivetrain, chassis and bodywork would have to be substantially reworked. Though beefier transmissions are available, fitting them would reportedly set off a domino-game of changes required to handle the added torque. Which may be something Chrysler would be prepared to do for the next-generation model, but in the meantime, 800 hp could prove enough to put the Viper back atop the Mopar performance ladder where it belongs, and give it an edge against the new Corvette Z06 to rekindle sales.
IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
Dodge Charger Hellcat hitting 60 in 2.9 seconds on drag radials?
Thu, 02 Oct 2014The Dodge boys and their cousins from SRT have shoehorned the same 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged V8 into both the Dodge Challenger and Charger. The former being a two-door, it's lighter than the latter four-door sedan. So it would stand to reason that the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would be the quicker of the two, right?
Only that's not necessarily proving to be the case. On stock rubber, yes, the coupe beats the sedan: Dodge quotes a 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds for the Charger SRT Hellcat and 3.5 for the Challenger. Same gap across the quarter-mile: 11 seconds flat for the Charger versus 10.8 seconds for the Challenger. But according to recent reports, the story changes when you put both on drag radials.
While visiting Chrysler HQ in Auburn Hills, MI, TorqueNews.com caught wind of performance figures for the Charger Hellcat on drag tires: 0-60 in a mind-blowing 2.9 seconds and a quarter-mile in just 10.7. The latter figure just barely pips the Hellcat-powered Challenger's NHRA-certified figure of 10.8, making the Charger not only the fastest sedan on the market, but also the fastest muscle car. What isn't immediately clear, however, is whether the drag radials in question have any tread on them and are street-legal, or if they're pure slicks confined to a closed strip.
