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! |

Fiat Chrysler wins top Total Quality Award for first time
Mon, Jul 20 2015The Strategic Vision Total Quality Awards are 20 years old in 2015, and Chrysler has never topped the awards before. Until now, that is. Fiat Chrysler takes the overall award on the corporate level with six segment leaders from Fiat, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram. The Fiat 500 won Small Multi-Function Car, the 500e won Small Alternative Powertrain, the Dodge Challenger tied at the top in the Specialty Coupe category alongside the very un-coupe Mini Cooper Countryman, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited took the Entry SUV category, the Dodge Durango won in Mid-Size SUV, and Ram took the overall in Best Non-Luxury Brand. The accolade means FCA has gone from one segment winner in 2010 to overall victory in five years. Cars have gotten so good, says Strategic Vision, that it is harder than ever to win. In fact, says the group, 18 years ago 85 percent of all vehicle brands had more than half a problem per vehicle. This year, no brand has more than half a problem per vehicle. The organization measures "over 155 specific aspects of the customer's experience," and scores are based on input from more than 46,000 customers. Other notables in and near the winner's circle include Volkswagen and General Motors, who tied for second place on the corporate scale, one point behind FCA. The Mini Cooper Roadster scored the highest of any model, the Corvette Stingray Convertible and Coupe scored the second- and third-highest. The Chevrolet Colorado is the first domestic Standard Pickup winner in more than ten years, and the Nissan Titan carried the Full-Size Pickup category. The press release below has all the details on how winners and losers are selected, and the full list of automakers and how they finished. "The Customer's 'Total' Experience Defines Quality, Fiat Chrysler Scores Highest in Total Quality," says Strategic Vision The 2015 Total Quality Awards® SAN DIEGO, Friday, July 17, 2015 — Unknown to many, when some consumer research firms rank a car company's quality performance they often do so by simply "counting problems." In the past, this may have been acceptable, but in today's modern and efficient manufacturing world the difference between the worst brand and best brand is LESS than half-a-problem per vehicle. Thus, any "quality ranking" based on this method is severely lacking in the complete picture of the "Total" Quality experience that customers actually use to judge their product ownership.
How fracking is causing Chrysler minivans to sit on Detroit's riverfront
Fri, 25 Apr 2014It's fascinating the way that one change to a complex system can have all sorts of unintended consequences. For instance, there are hundreds of new Chrysler Town and County and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans built in Windsor, Ontario, sitting in lots on the Detroit waterfront because of the energy boom in the Bakken oil field in the northern US and parts of Canada.
The huge amount of crude oil coming from these sites mostly use freight trains for transport, and that supply boom has resulted in a shortage of railcars to carry other goods. According to The Windsor Star, North American crude oil transport by train has gone from 9,500 carloads in 2008 to 434,032 carloads in 2013. Making matters worse, some North American rail infrastructure is still damaged because of this year's harsh winter, and that's slowing things down even further.
Chrysler admits to The Star that it has had some delivery delays due to the freight train shortage. In the meantime, it's using more trucks to deliver its vehicles. Trucking is a far less economical solution, partially because a train can carry so many more units at one time, but alternatives are slim. The Windsor plant alone has a deal for 33 trucks to distribute the minivans around Canada and the Midwestern US.
