1949 Dodge Coronet 4-door Sedan on 2040-cars

Year:1949 Mileage:67421
Location:

United States

United States

This is a very nice 1949 Dodge Coronet in original condition.  Using the Old Cars Report Price Guide rating system, I would place this car between a 2 and a 3 on the Vehicle Condition Scale.

This car was repainted original equipment Island Green sometime in the mid-1980's.   It has been in good dry storage since then.  The car had 67,256 miles when  I purchased it in September of 1990.  The car now has 67,421 miles.  Thus, I have decided to sell the car, since I have had little opportunity to drive and enjoy it.   As far as I know, this mileage is accurate.

The interior is original.   The driver seat has a split seam which is shown in one of the pictures.  The front floor mat is original.  It has become brittle with age, When I raised it to have access to replace the brake master cylinder, it crumbled.  Both front door armrests have been recovered.   The headliner is original, with no holes or tears.   All gages work.  The radio does not work.

The rubber trunk mat is not original.   However, it was manufactured to fit a '49 Dodge.

The chassis and drivetrain are completely original.  There is oil seepage on the engine oil pan, but not to the extent that it drips.  Five knew B.F. Goodrich wide WSW tires were installed in July, 2013.  A new fuel pump was installed in June, 2011.   The brake master cylinder and wheel cylinders have been replaced at some time during my ownership.  Underhood is original.

The car maintains good oil pressure and constant engine temperature.  It has never overheated.

This is originally an Iowa car.  The floor pans, trunk, and fenders are rust free.  To my knowledge, this car has never had any body damage or rust repaired.  During my 24 years of ownership, I have seen no evidence of previous body work deteriorating.   All chrome and stainless trim appear to be original.

Shipping is the responsibility of the successful bidder.

Dodge to resurrect Scat Pack?

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Before social media ever existed, if automotive enthusiasts wanted to be noticed or recognize other fans, they joined a car club. For Dodge muscle car lovers from 1968 through 1971, that group was known as the Scat Pack. Just like the Charger, Challenger and Dart nameplates, it looks like the Scat Pack could be getting a resurrection by Chrysler.
Automotive News is reporting that Chrysler recently renewed its trademark on the Scat Pack name, and while this is in no way a guarantee that the name will return, AN talked to Tim Kuniskis, Dodge President and CEO, who stoked the fire a little more. In the article, Kuniskis said that the name is "a very important part of our history" and added that "we like the whole idea of having a Scat Pack of cars." Scat Pack models were identified by their bumblebee stripes and helmet-wearing bumblebee logo, and the idea of a modern Scat Pack doesn't seem all that outlandish in light of recent vehicles like the Charger SRT Super Bee and the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee Concept.
What do you think, is this a cool idea, or is it just an unwelcome bit of nostalgia? Have you say in Comments.

Aficionauto drives Vin Diesel's fast and furious 1970 Dodge Charger

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

The Aficionauto host Christopher Rutkowski has a real passion for original and replica cars from movies and television, whether they are from James Bond, Jurassic Park, or incredibly obscure Japanese shows. However, he might have outdone himself this time because he hopped into one of the biggest automotive stars of contemporary cinema. This 1970 Dodge Charger appeared in Fast & Furious and came back in Fast Five, where Paul Walker actually drove it. The menacing, black muscle car will make its return to the franchise in the seventh film, too.
The Fast and Furious Charger is a real beast no matter how you look at it. The interior is nothing more than two seats and a roll cage, and as the video shows, this thing vibrates constantly like a coiled mass of muscle ready to strike. The camera can barely stay in place most of the time. Also, Dom's Dodge is more than happy to do a smoky burnout and leave the driver partially deaf afterward from its wonderful, ear-splitting engine roar.
The Aficionauto also interviews the man who controls the keys to this beast. Bob Hartwig was once an F-15 pilot, but he also loved Hollywood vehicles. Now, he's a partner at Picture Car Warehouse, a company with about 850 cars that supplies vehicles to film studios. This Charger definitely seems to be Hartwig's favorite in the collection, as it should be.

Dodge shows can-do attitude with grand Can'avan sculpture

Fri, 01 Nov 2013

There are lots of ways to celebrate an important birthday, and all of them are well deserved. You can throw a big party, buy yourself something nice, or - if you're the altruistic type - do something for others in need. The latter is how Chrysler has opted to mark the 30th anniversary of its Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country.
Together with hunger-advocacy organization Canstruction, the Chrysler Foundation has built a full-scale replica of the Grand Caravan out of 30,000 food cans in the square at the corner of Yonge and Dundas in Toronto, a ways down the highway from where the real vans are built in Windsor. The sculpture was built over the course of 10 hours by 30 volunteers and was displayed earlier this week.
Now the installation is being taken down, and the cans of food are being donated to the Daily Bread Food Bank, which will assemble them into 2,000 food baskets to be distributed to those in need through its network of 200 food banks across the Canadian metropolis. Check out a neat time-lapse video of the build and the press release below.
