You are bidding on a 1966 Dodge Coronet 500 318 poly with a console shifted automatic. Was driven by the original owners between California and new mexico up unitl 1979 when the poly 318 blew up, the couple bought a new 1979 Chrysler and the coronet received a 318 and automatic tranny out of a wrecked 1978 cordoba. My dad bought the car in 1980 and drove it in this condition for 1 year until he sold it to his buddy. His buddy painted it, put mags on it, and swapped a four speed into it. The car sat in a field from 1995 until around 3 years when we received the car back from the family of my dads buddy after his passing. We bought a motorhome 413 with less than 40,000 miles on it, put 915 heads, a lumpy cam, new double roller timing set, new water pump, new melling HV oil pump, comes with a Mallory unilite distributor with Mallory coil and brand new MSD street fire plug wires, a deep oil pan and new gaskets/seals all the way around. It has a strong bottom end and low compression being that it was from a motor home. because of this we planned to supercharge it and make a nostalgic hot rod. 4 speed was rebuilt around 10 years ago and was never used after. The car has a cast iron bellhousing but it has a 10 1/2" clutch/flywheel. BUT we have an 11" flywheel with the car. so it needs an 11" clutch to work with the cast iron bellhousing. OR you need to buy a an aluminum bellhousing to fit the 10 1//2" clutch/flywheel. The body has 36,000 original miles on it. Car has an 8 3/4 rear end with 741 center section with 3:23 gears and a sure grip.

The car is totally rust free. It was originally pale yellow with a gold/tan interior, has the fender tag, door VIN and clear title. Minor surface rust on the floors and trunk. Fenders/Quarters/ doors have minor dents and require body work but all the original sheetmetal should be able to be saved. Car needs the 4 speed welded into place, the airshocks punched through the floor so it needs to be welded back together. Comes with tons of extra trim, 2 extra grilles, some extra turn signals and tail light, has the factory console that was cut to fit the four speed. Engine bay was sanded down and painted with 4 stage rattle can (primer, silver metal flake base, candy apple red top coat, clear coat), looks like nice candy apple red and turned out great. Finish putting it together and make a nostalgic drag car or tear it apart and restore it! GREAT father and son project, like it was with me and my dad. We have run out of money to finish it! Has all the seats and trim, missing one taillight surround, one rocker moulding and the trunk lip trim and maybe other misc. items.

Car may be missing more but it is 95% complete. CAR DOES NOT RUN, the shipper needs to be aware of this, car will be in roller form with NO brakes, We do not ship, we will help load the car with your arranged shipper, we will store it for 30 days after the end of the auction for free, after 30 days its $40 a month. NO refunds, returns. $500 deposit required by paypal with 24 hours of the auctions end.

2015 Dodge Challenger crash test results slip from last year's model

Mon, Dec 22 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has released the results of its latest round of crash testing, announcing that the 2015 Dodge Challenger has netted a five-star overall crash rating. Of course, Chrysler won't want us to tell you this, but that NHTSA overall rating is not the whole story here. As The Car Connection so astutely points out, five-star rating aside, the refreshed 2015 Challenger actually performed worse than when it was tested back in 2013. The V6-powered SXT model tested by NHTSA in this latest round of testing was only able to record a four-star rating in its frontal crash test, while it nailed a five-star rating in the side-impact test. The 2013 Challenger managed a five-star rating in the frontal test. Of course, while this rating is a sign of overall good news for Challenger fans, the car, as TCC argues, has yet to be tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. It'll be interesting to see if these NHTSA ratings translate to an IIHS Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick Plus. Scroll down for the full press release from FCA. All-new 2015 Dodge Challenger Earns Five-Star Overall Safety Rating From U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 2015 Dodge Challenger coupe earns five stars overall, the highest possible score in NHTSA's safety rating program More than 70 safety and security features, including new for 2015 class-exclusive Forward Collision Warning, adaptive cruise control, Blind-spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path detection All-new 2015 Dodge Challenger starts at $26,995 (excluding tax, destination and title) December 18, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The all-new 2015 Dodge Challenger has earned a five-star overall safety rating from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Five stars is the highest possible safety rating given by NHTSA. "The new Dodge Challenger coupe further demonstrates our commitment to broaden the proliferation of advanced safety technologies, such as driver-assist features," says Scott Kunselman, Senior Vice President-Vehicle Safety and Regulatory, FCA-North America. In its assessment of the new Challenger, NHTSA notes the availability of Forward Collision Warning (FCW), which features forward-facing sensors programmed to detect the potential for certain types of frontal collisions. If detected, the driver is alerted with visual and audible warnings. The 2015 Dodge Challenger is the only car in its segment with such capability.

Mopar '14 teased, returns to Challenger

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

Every year, Mopar selects one special vehicle from the Chrysler portfolio and creates its own, one-off, special edition. Previously, there was the Mopar '13 Dart, '12 300, '11 Charger and the '10 Challenger, and for 2014, this teaser image shows that the company will be giving the unique treatment to Dodge's muscle coupe yet again.
Mopar has not revealed any details about its '14 Challenger, though the brand's president and CEO, Pietro Gorlier, says that "This limited-edition ride is for muscle-car fans who love high octane and customizable performance." All we know is, it's white, has some blue stripes, and a black (or carbon fiber) rear spoiler.
We'll know more when the Mopar '14 Challenger is revealed at the SEMA show in early November. In the meantime, click the image above to check out the teaser in high resolution, and have a look below for Chrysler's official press blast.

Thieves relieve Detroit-area Dodge dealer of $70,000 in SRT wheels

Tue, Apr 26 2016

Okay Mopar fans, this won't be easy to read. A video, which has since been made private, popped up over on Reddit's Cars subreddit over the weekend and detailed the aftermath of a massive wheel heist at a metro Detroit dealership. Thieves broke into Sterling Heights Dodge and made off with at least $70,000 worth of wheels and tires. The thieves ignored the V6 models and instead targeted Hellcat, SRT392, Scat Pack, and R/T versions of the Charger and Challenger. The poor muscle cars were left sitting on blocks, with the voice behind the video saying the treatment led to underbody damage. We only counted 12 cars, but the person shooting the video said thieves targeted 14 vehicles. That works out to about $5,000 in wheels per vehicle. We've reached out to Sterling Heights Dodge general manager and the Sterling Heights Police Department for comments. We haven't heard back yet, but we'll be sure to update this post with any additional information. Oh, and if you're in metro Detroit and perusing Craigslist for a new set of alloys, we'd advise against buying Dodge wheels for the next few weeks. They might be hot. Related Video:
