1967 Dodge Coronet 500 / 383, 4speed, posi
Originally purchased in late '67 by John Vukovich - who later went on to play and coach for the Major League Baseball teams The Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies - this '67 Coronet has changed hands three other times making me the 4th owner. I have extensive documentation including the list of registered owners, Chrysler Certicard, Chrysler Historic Collection photocopy of the build-card, and a build record certificate. This is an original CA car. The Coronet decodes as follows: W= Dodge 117" P=Premium 23=2 Door Hardtop H=383 - 4HP - 8 cyl 7=1967 5=Los Angeles, CA Paint: ZZ1=Gold Metallic Trim: P6X=Black All Vinyl Trans: 3=4 speed manual Axle: 4=3.23 posi This Coronet's a driver in every sense of the word. Numbers matching, fully rebuilt motor, running gear, and suspension, original steel, original paint, and a sweet interior, she is a blast to drive and comes with receipts for all of the work listed in the following description. Besides weekend cruises and just running it around the neighborhood for fun I've also taken her on a couple 500+ mile road trips here where I live in the Pacific North West. The car does great stoplight to stoplight as well as on the open road. She fires up right away and never disappoints. Engine - 383 4bbl V8 The motor and heads are original castings and fully rebuilt top to bottom with about 3 years and 15k miles on it (all receipts included.) The rebuild was mostly to stock spec with a .40 over, a mild cam, rebuilt heads, and new components including: flywheel, water pump, fuel pump, aluminum radiator, starter, alternator, distributor, headers, plugs, wires, coil, air cleaner, hoses, lines, etc... The 3" Headers with crossover and flowmasters sound awesome and put a smile on my face every time I start the car. The choke works great on the 4bbl Holley Carb, the starter is tight, the motor is tuned well and idles smoothly even with the mild cam. The alternator is a high amperage output unit to support the addition electric fans on the aluminum radiator. The throttle is responsive and the cables are new. I run premium gasoline only because I choose to. I was told by the speedshop that rebuilt the engine that low octane will work just fine. I've been driving fast cars for some time, and while this engine is fast, it's not crazy. My favorite thing about it is that it's reliable for long distances and has even torque from idle all the way up to about 3500rpm. It's great for snapping you back into the seat from a launch, or for aggressive passing power on the freeway. I'd conservatively estimate the HP at over 400 with stock ignition timing and no real dyno tuning. The battery is new along with the harness that travels to the firewall. There's a quick disconnect for the negative terminal that comes in handy when you need to kill the power for working on the vehicle or parking in the street. Other new electrical stuff includes the blinker shutoff switch and wires, aftermarket tach and aftermarket underdash oil psi and water temp meters. All the lights work and blink along with the horn honking and heater heating. The windshield wipers wipe but the relay is malfunctioning and doesn't reset them at the bottom of their stroke in the off position (that means you have to wait for them to get down and turn the knob off) The engine bay has been resprayed the correct ZZ1 paint. This is the only new paint on the car. The engine compartment is clean and functional, but by no means in show condition. The paint on the intake manifold is flaking a little bit on one side and the terminals on the firewall have aftermarket soldering and crimps on them. Perfectly functional, but not stock. Running Gear / A-833 Four Speed (Passon Performance Hemi 4 speed overdrive) I hate to brag, but the 4 speed in this car is a big deal. The original A-833 is a great box, and while the housing on this one is original, the insides are nothing but. For a ton of detail please go to their website and click on the Hemi 4speed overdrive link at the bottom of the page. Basically Passon has fabricated an amazingly strong and lightweight gearset that gives you the following 4spd ratios 1 = 2.66:1 2= 1.59:1 3= 1.00:1 4= .80:1 The result is an even bandwith of power transmission across all gears and an overdrive 4th allows for taller rear-end ratios while keeping the revs at around 3k on the freeway. Pete from Pete's gearshop in Hayward CA did me the absolute courtesy of rebuilding my A-833 with the hemi 4spd setup and it's the best thing I've ever done to a classic gear box. This transmission is super tight with all new components inside, new clutch, new custom fabricated drive-shaft, new U-joints, and a rebuilt 8.75" differential with a 4.11 gear ratio. Don't let the numbers fool you, this car flys on the freeway without spooling up given the .80:1 ratio in 4th gear. The clutch linkage is also rebuilt and the throwout bearing is new and the pedal freeplay adjustment is spot-on. Suspension and the Rest The front end is fully rebuilt with new OEM bushings, aftermarket sway bar, and tubular upper control arms. The rear leafs are 3 tall and seem fine to me but I don't know if they're original or aftermarket. Eibach competition shocks all the way around don't make it a sports car, but they're miles better than the original oil dampening. There's an old school pinion snubber in back that's kind of cool and the wheels are rattle can black with new rubber all the way around. The brakes are four wheel drum and are fully rebuilt on all corners. They stop amazingly well considering the weight of the vehicle. The manual steering box is original and also relatively tight for this era vehicle. Paint, Body, Glass, Rubber, Interior This car is 47 years old (I can hardly believe it myself) and has never seen a respray. It is original metal, original paint, original glass, and original weather stripping all the way around. It has knicks, chips, scratches, dings, fading, wear, and pitting. That said it doesn't look so bad, doesn't leak a drop of water, doesn't have any rust besides the superficial variety, and the chrome and trim is all there and quite presentable. The doors open and close easy and the panel alignment acceptable. The bumpers shine up and the black top looks new to me and it's the only exterior component that's a 10. I never wanted a trailer queen and I don't like driving stuff that's too nice - but I always believed that this car deserved a bare metal respray with all of the fixings, I'm just not the guy to do it. The interior is stellar, new seatcovers, new headliner, new carpet, and new door paneling. The armrests are original but not too worn and the dash has a little crack in it on the passenger side. As I mentioned in the beginning all of the lights light up, blinkers blink, etc... Reason I'm Selling I love this car but I want to move up to a convertible: 1968 drop top Fury II or late 60's Pontiac Catalina convertible are at the top of my list... Terms I won't let it go for less than what it's worth (we all know how that works!) and I reserve the right to end this auction for local sale. I've tried to write as detailed a description as I know how to. Sometimes people buy used cars and are upset when they discover a shortcoming that was not listed in the advertisement - I know, I've bought lots of used cars and have sorted through lots of shortcomings. If you have a question and it's not in this writeup please ask. If I didn't put something in the description it's either because it wasn't important enough for me to include or I didn't realize that I omitted it. |

Dodge to sell off first Challenger SRT Hellcat for charity
Sun, 27 Jul 2014
Want to get your hands on a new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and can't wait to be the first to get one? Las Vegas will be the place to be on September 27. That's where Barrett-Jackson will auction off the very first example. And you'd better bring your checkbook, because the bidding is sure to be fierce with all the proceeds going to charity.
The supercharged Challenger with VIN 0001 has been hand-painted in Stryker Red (usually reserved for the Viper) and features special badging, documentation and accompanying memorabilia - not to mention, of course, that 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8. The car will be on display this weekend as well at Barrett-Jackson's Hot August Nights auction in Reno.
Dodge CEO and Gas Monkey Garage dissect the 10-second Challenger Hellcat
Fri, 11 Jul 2014So far, whenever we've seen the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with its 707-horsepower, supercharged Hellcat V8, the muscle car has been smoking its tires. Dodge is finally proving that the SRT can do more than ruin perfectly good sets of rubber, though. In it's latest video, company CEO Tim Kuniskis hands the Hellcat off to the guys from Gas Monkey Garage to show how quickly the automaker's most powerful model can make it down the drag strip.
Of course, the only fitting contender to race against Dodge's latest top muscle car is its grandpa - a Hemi-powered 1971 Challenger, in this case. Before getting to the main event, the hosts also show off some of the SRT's unique features like the blanks in the grille that feed the intercoolers. We'll go ahead and spoil that the Hellcat makes its pass in the 10-second range, and the video admits the tires on the production version would take just a touch longer to cover the quarter-mile. However, you have to watch film to see just how quick it actually goes. Scroll down to see a classic example of American muscle drag racing against its modern legacy.
Man hits 153 mph on I-75 in Dodge Magnum
Tue, May 19 2015A man driving in Michigan took his 2005 Dodge Magnum practically to the limit in the wee hours of the morning on May 19 when the Michigan State Police caught him on radar going 153 miles per hour on Interstate 75 near Detroit. The 21-year-old driver was spotted around 3:00 AM, according to The Detroit News. Michigan State Police First Lieutenant Michael Shaw told Autoblog that officers initially saw the man on radar doing 79 mph in a 70-mph-zone, and they started following him. He eventually clocked 153 mph. However, First Lt. Shaw was clear that there was never a pursuit. "Speeding isn't necessarily a reason to put the public at risk," he said. The situation ended rather abruptly, though. The driver pulled off the interstate and behind a building. He remained in the vehicle, and police arrived and arrested him. According to First Lt. Shaw, the man was driving home from work and alcohol wasn't a factor. The Magnum has been impounded, and the driver was charged with reckless driving. Unfortunately, First Lt. Shaw said that he didn't know what engine was in the wagon, but as enthusiasts, we're curious. After all, the 2005 Magnum RT was governed to 130 mph and the SRT8 wasn't unleashed until 2006, which means either the wagon must've been derestricted to hit such high speeds or that police have the year wrong. We'll let you know if we figure that one out...
