Rare Opportunity 1966 Hemi Coronet Convertible Survivor on 2040-cars
United States
|
Folks what we have here is a rare piece of automotive history and a rare opportunity to own it. What you are bidding on is a 1966 Hemi Coronet Convertible. This is the first year Dodge produced the Coronet with the Legendary Hemi powerplant between the fenders (for the general public) and the big bonuses are it is a survivor and convertible. This is one of only nine produced in 1966. It has a mere 5600 miles on the clock. The car was purchased on 29 March, 1966 from Frontier Dodge in Cincinnati Ohio and has stayed in the Cincinnati area it's entire life, changing hands only three times. As you can see in the pictures this is a well preserved original piece. There are scratches in the paint as the original owner lived in a neighborhood where houses were close together and garages were small and narrow; he had children and it is my guess they had bicycles and put some scratches in the exterior sides but nothing to warrant refinishing the entire car thus destroying the original finish. The interior is all original and in excellent condition as is the convertible top.
The Iconic Hemi Powerplant is strong and runs superb. As you can see in the pictures the car is so original that it has the original spark plug wires. Yes, these are original and not a reproduction. Also, in the windshield is the original 1966 City of Cincinnati Safety Lane Inspection sticker. I have the original Certi Card, original window sticker and original title in originals owners name. I also have another unique of documentation an that would be four original build sheets, you are lucky if you find one in your car; I have four, how is that for documentation. This car is uniquely optioned, besides the Hemi engine it has power steering, power brakes and power windows. The only parts known to be not original to the car from new are the fuel filters, the tires, I believe the Magnum 500's were dealer installed, and the complete exhaust system. As you can see in the pictures the exhaust is new and made to original 1966 specs. This incredible car is the recipient of several survivor awards. Galen Govier, signed and presented a previous owner with an award in 1999. Of the nine convertibles built with the automatic transmission I can not recall ever seeing another besides this one and I have been to many shows, not to say I have the only one in existence, but I'm pretty sure you will not easily find another survivor in this condition. Please be sure to look at all the pictures to see what amazing condition this time capsule is in. If you are true Mopar collector this is a must have car for your collection. A car of this caliber does not become available often. So, if you have a gap, space, or opening in your collection NOW is the time to fill it!!!!!! I invite all interested to come inspect this magnificent piece of Mopar History, you will not be disappointed. Please ask any and all questions, additional pictures are available at your request. Thank you for looking! Good luck! |

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
eBay Find of the Day: Viper Defender from '90s TV show
Fri, 24 May 2013As car lovers, it's always hard to find a good television show with decent cars, but what the 1990s show Viper lacked in acting, scripting and plot, it more than made up for with cool cars. For starters, the lead car was a Dodge Viper RT/10, but, on screen, it was able to morph into its "Defender" mode making it an armored coupe with a full arsenal of weapons.
Fortunately, you don't have to be a fan of the bad show to love its lead car, and if you really want one, a Defender is up for auction right now on eBay. According to the listing, this car is the real deal - not a clone - and it comes with a V8 engine (not sure what happened to the V10?) and plenty of swag and memorbilia. No word on its actual asking price, but with a day left and 42 bids already, the reserve has not been met at $133,400. The listing does add that this same car was listed at Mecum back in 2010, but did not get sold, even with a bid of $270,000.
