Up for auction is a very good 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T project. Let me start off by saying this car is a project and does not run. It will also need to be restored/ repaired to be driven. Originally the car was a 440 4BBL. 727 automatic car with bucket seats and a column shift automatic. The original engine and transmission have been removed and are long gone. I do however have a 67 440 HP block and a 67 440 HP 727 transmission that go with the car. The block that I have is already .030 over and should clean up at .040. It has been cleaned previously at a machine shop. The engine block does have some damage as it was stored inside a warehouse sitting on its end, and a rat had a nest in the bottom side of it. So it has some pitting at the bottom of the block that can be seen in some of the pictures. It also has one motor mount ear that is broken. The casting date on the block is 7-15-66 and the casting number is 2536430-6. The assembly date and information on the top pad is C440 12 29 HP2. I also have a complete 67 727 Tansmission that goes with the car the numbers stamped on it are H 2801541 3351126. The transmission came from a running car, but I would consider it a core or at least look into it. Other parts that I have for the car are the original radiator with side brackets part number 2785936, original fan shroud part # 2785434, drive shaft, crossmember, original hood louver, replacements for the seat medalions, and possibly some other miscellaneous parts. The rear end under the car is the factory 8 3/4 with a 741 case suregrip with as best i can tell a 4.56 gear ratio. I am assuming it was changed out when it was being drag raced.
The car itself is an overall very good project and rare to be found in this good of condition. It has very solid interior floor pans, trunk pan, quarter panels, trunk extensions, frame rails, rockers, fenders , and doors. The rust issues are on the back of the left quarter panel on top before it gets to the taillight extension, the 90 degree turn on the iside of the trunk gutter/ taillight panel, and around the rear taillamps on the inside. There is about a 6" place on the left side inside the trunk gutter above the rear bumper that has rust through. The left side rear panel appears worse than the right , but the tailight panel or the rear panel above the rear bumper does have some rust. Also one spot on the passenger front door jamb there is a hole rusted trough , where it appears somethiing has gotten trapped inside there. The car is wearing mostly its original PP1 paint and it is showing its age. It has several places that are rubbed through along with several spots of surface rust showing throught the paint. I did buff up the car after purchasing it along with removing quite a bit of paint overspray. For the most part the car has a decent shine to it. I can tell that a spot on the lower rear portion of the left fender has been repaired and refinished before along with the bottom of the right rear quarter panel. There are some dents and dings that you would expect to find on a car of this age. It has a good sized dent in the bottom of the left drivers door , but I see no reason why it could not be reapired. Also both quarter panels have had the quarter lip pinched flat with vise grips to get a bigger tire under the car and above that on the lt side quarter ithere is also a dent. The hood was also damaged at some point and has been replaced with another but I do still have the original hood scoop/louver. The glass is all present in the car. The front windshield is cloudy from age and has some scratches from the wipers. Also the back glass has some scratching from something in the past. The vinyl top is good for its age, but does have a few places that are coming up and that are torn. The front and rear bumper are good straight bumpers to be original. The front I cleaned up some with some steel wool, but the back needs to be cleaned on to remove the overspray. The front bumper has also had the tow bar added to it. The grille is overall straight and does have the center delete plate. The grille surround are also good to be original. The drivers side has a place top and bottom where it has bumped something and I think the passenger side has one spot on the inside where it is painted silver.
I have the chrysler historical paperwork for the car and it shows to have been shipped on Dec.16th 1966 to Stewart-Mathena Dodge in Daytona beach, FL. The options on the car are as follows: Paint: PP1 Bright Red, trim: P6X black all vinyl bucket seats with Black carpet, Engine: 83 = 440 4 bbl dual exhaust, transmission 395 = toqueflite, Radio: 421=music master, Tires 48= 7.75x14 Red streak ,Power equipment 456= power steering, Axle ratio 402= 2.94:1 , glass 522= tinted-windshield only, 581= wheel covers,606 = vinyl roof black in color, 616 = stripes. The car also still retains the original fender tag and certi card. Some info on the fender tag is TRM=P6X, PNT=PP, WS23 83 485 C1908204. The certi card also has some info on it such as P6X, PP1 T5 SA 1219 and the vin os WS23L77160776. Car came factory with white painted pinstripes. The car aslo has the SO number stamped into the radiator support 77C1908204. The fender tag and certi card are both pictured. The fender tag looks to have had a battery blow up on it in the past and is missing a section. I did remove the original carpet to get a good look at the floor pans and also to picture them. I did not see a build sheet under the carpet. I guess it may be possible to find one somewhere else in the car, but I can not say for sure that there is one.
I bought this car from a man that bought it after the engine was blown up while being raced in 1979 or 1980. It has been in dry storage since then so that explains the condition. The damage done to the car during the racing was they rolled/flattened the factory inner quarter panel lip of both quarters to get a bigger tire under the car. They also removed the original passenger seat along with the back seats. They removed and discarded the original rear set of quarter wheel lip trim as well. I have found and replaced passenger seat with correct tracks, and another back seat. The car has its original drivers side bucket seat, door panels in nice original condition, original carpet, original headliner that has been repaired, and original dash. The dash pad is crack free, but has had a tachometer mounted on it in front of the driver so it does have a couple holes through it. I have some replacement seat medalions that go with the car, but they will need to be restored.
My original plan for the car was to buff the car up and get it looking decent then do the brakes and fuel system, build the engine and trans to get the car road worthy and drive it just as it is. I think it would make a neat cruiser as is , but you could also turn in and do a resto on the car if you choose. I have installed a complete set of centerline auto drags on the car. The rears are 15X8 with 275/60/15 tires that are at least 50 percent good tread. The fronts are 15x4 or 15x4.5 with basically new 165/80R15 tires. I just have too many project pulling to many direction and I also have a limited amount of space to put them in so I thought I would see how this car does as it sets. As I say the car does have its own issues, but it is a fairly original car that has not been restored. It is also 46 years old car that has been driven and raced. Plese use the pictures that have been provided to also help aid in the description as all sales are final and the car is sold as is how is with no type of warranty. Here is a link to a photo bucket account that also has 285 pictures of the car that I have taken from the time I purchased it. http://s298.photobucket.com/user/mattsmopars/library/1967%20coronet?sort=3&page=7#/user/mattsmopars/library/1967%20coronet?sort=3&page=1&_suid=1377558112091011650006251918216
As I said before the car is sold as is with no warranty. All sales are final. Please do not bid if you are not serious about purchasing the car. If you have less than 10 positive feedback please contact me before you bid. All shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser. I will try to work any way that I can to help aid in the pick up of the car. A $500.00 dollar non refunable deposit will be required through paypal within 24 hours of the end of the auction. The car must be paid in full with cash or bank wire transfer within 7 days of auction end. I will also try to work with the buyer on keeping the car stored, but I would prefer it be moved within one month. Please ask any and all questions before the auction ends and before you bid. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. You can send me an Ebay message if you want my phone number and I will be glad to talk with you as well. I do have a clear Tennesse title in my name. The car will not leave until all funds have cleared the bank or it has been paid in full . Thanks for looking!

2003-04 Dodge Viper recalled for sudden airbag deployment
Fri, 15 Feb 2013As if driving the old Dodge Viper (not the fancy new SRT model) isn't intimidating enough, imagine trying to wrangle that V10 beast and then suddenly having the airbags deploy. Yikes. That's apparently what could happen to some 3,660 Viper models from the 2003 and 2004 model years, and as such, Chrysler has issued a recall.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, part of the car's airbag control module may fail, causing the bags or seatbelt pre-tensioners to deploy without warning while the vehicle is in operation. That's a dangerous scenario in any car, let alone one offering insane horsepower a near-total paucity of safety nannies should things get squirrely.
Owners will be notified this month about the recall, though a remedy is not expected to be available until later this year. Scroll down for the full NHTSA statement.
China's Geely says it has no plan to buy Fiat Chrysler — as FCA stock leaps
Wed, Aug 16 2017HONG KONG — Chinese carmaker Geely Automobile denied media speculation on Wednesday that it planned to make a takeover bid for Fiat Chryslerk Automobiles (FCA), the world's seventh-largest automaker. Geely was one of several Chinese carmakers cited in by Automotive News, which said representatives of "a well-known Chinese automaker" had made an offer this month for FCA, which has a market value of almost $20 billion. "We don't have such a plan at the moment," Geely executive director Gui Shengyue told reporters at an earnings briefing, when asked if Geely was interested in Fiat. He said a foreign acquisition would be complicated, but he did not elaborate. "But for other (Chinese) brands, it could be a fast track for their development," Gui added. However, a source close to the matter said FCA and Geely Automobile's parent firm, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, had held initial talks late last year, without disclosing their nature. The source confirmed Geely was no longer interested in FCA, noting that the parent company had only three months ago announced its first push into Southeast Asia with the purchase of 49.9 percent of struggling Malaysian carmaker Proton, a deal that also included a stake in Lotus. Geel's denial failed to dent FCA's stock. The price of its Milan-based shares has jumped more than 10 percent to a 19-year high since Automotive News first reported on Monday, citing unnamed sources, that FCA had rejected the Chinese offer as too low. FCA stock on the New York Stock Exchange rose sharply on Monday from $11.60 to $12.38 and on Wednesday was trading at $12.84. FCA declined to comment on Wednesday. FCA Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne has repeatedly called for mergers as a way of sharing the costs of making cleaner, more advanced cars, but he has repeatedly failed to find a partner and retreated from his search for in April, saying FCA would stick to its business plan. He has also spoken of spinning the successful Jeep and Ram divisions off from FCA. Europe's largest carmaker, Volkswagen, and General Motors have both said they are not interested in talks with FCA. On Wednesday, Geely Automobile reported a doubling of first-half profit, above expectations, as cars designed with Sweden's Volvo won over domestic consumers. Volvo is a unit of the Zhejiang Geely group, and has recently announced it will share its technology with Geely.
Are supercars becoming less special?
Thu, Sep 3 2015There's little doubt that we are currently enjoying the golden age of automotive performance. Dozens of different models on sale today make over 500 horsepower, and seven boast output in excess of 700 hp. Not long ago, that kind of capability was exclusive to supercars – vehicles whose rarity, performance focus, and requisite expense made them aspirational objects of desire to us mortals. But more than that, supercars have historically offered a unique driving experience, one which was bespoke to a particular model and could not be replicated elsewhere. But in recent years, even the low-volume players have been forced to find the efficiencies and economies of scale that formerly hadn't been a concern for them, and in turn the concept of the supercar as a unique entity unto itself is fading fast. The blame doesn't fall on one particular manufacturer nor a specific production technique. Instead, it's a confluence of different factors that are chipping away at the distinction of these vehicles. It's not all bad news – Lamborghini's platform sharing with Audi for the Gallardo and the R8 yielded a raging bull that was more reliable and easier to live with on a day-to-day basis, and as a result it went on to become the best-selling Lambo in the company's history. But it also came at the cost of some of the Italian's exclusivity when eerily familiar sights and sounds suddenly became available wearing an Audi badge. Even low-volume players have been forced to find economies of scale. Much of this comes out of necessity, of course. Aston Martin's recent deal with Mercedes-AMG points toward German hardware going under the hood and into the cabin of the upcoming DB11, and it's safe to assume that this was not a decision made lightly by the Brits, as the brand has built a reputation for the bespoke craftsmanship of its vehicles. There's little doubt that the DB11 will be a fine automobile, but the move does jeopardize some of the characteristic "specialness" that Astons are known for. Yet the world is certainly better off with new Aston Martins spliced with DNA from Mercedes-AMG rather than no new Astons at all, and the costs of developing cutting-edge drivetrains and user interfaces is a burden that's becoming increasingly difficult for smaller manufacturers to bear. Even Ferrari is poised to make some dramatic changes in the way it designs cars.
