Up for auction is a very good 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T project. Let me start off by saying this car is a project and does not run. It will also need to be restored/ repaired to be driven. Originally the car was a 440 4BBL. 727 automatic car with bucket seats and a column shift automatic. The original engine and transmission have been removed and are long gone. I do however have a 67 440 HP block and a 67 440 HP 727 transmission that go with the car. The block that I have is already .030 over and should clean up at .040. It has been cleaned previously at a machine shop. The engine block does have some damage as it was stored inside a warehouse sitting on its end, and a rat had a nest in the bottom side of it. So it has some pitting at the bottom of the block that can be seen in some of the pictures. It also has one motor mount ear that is broken. The casting date on the block is 7-15-66 and the casting number is 2536430-6. The assembly date and information on the top pad is  C440 12 29 HP2. I also have a complete 67 727 Tansmission that goes with the car the numbers stamped on it are H 2801541 3351126.  The transmission came from a running car, but I would consider it a core or at least look into it. Other parts that I have for the car are the original radiator with side brackets part number 2785936, original fan shroud part # 2785434, drive shaft, crossmember, original hood louver, replacements for the seat medalions, and possibly some other miscellaneous parts. The rear end under the car is the factory  8 3/4 with a 741 case suregrip with as best i can tell a 4.56 gear ratio. I am assuming it was changed out when it was being drag raced. 

The car itself is an overall very good project and rare to be found in this good of condition. It has very solid interior floor pans, trunk pan, quarter panels, trunk extensions, frame rails, rockers, fenders , and doors. The rust issues are on the back of the left quarter panel on top before it gets to the taillight extension, the 90 degree turn on the iside of the trunk gutter/ taillight panel, and around the rear taillamps on the inside. There is about a 6" place on the left side inside the trunk gutter above the rear bumper that has rust through. The left side rear panel appears worse than the right , but the tailight panel or the rear panel above the rear bumper does have some rust. Also one spot on the passenger front door jamb there is a hole rusted trough , where it appears somethiing has gotten trapped inside there. The car is wearing mostly its original PP1 paint and it is showing its age. It has several places that are rubbed through along with several spots of surface rust showing throught the paint. I did buff up the car after purchasing it along with removing quite a bit of paint overspray. For the most part the car has a decent shine to it. I can tell that a spot on the lower rear portion of the left fender has been repaired and refinished before along with the bottom of the right rear quarter panel. There are some dents and dings that you would expect to find on a car of this age. It has a good sized dent in the bottom of the left  drivers door , but I see no reason why it could not be reapired. Also both quarter panels have had the quarter lip pinched flat with vise grips to get a bigger tire under the car and above that on the lt side quarter ithere is also a dent. The hood was also damaged at some point and has been replaced with another but I do still have the original hood scoop/louver. The glass is all present in the car. The front windshield is cloudy from age and has some scratches from the wipers. Also the back glass has some scratching from something in the past. The vinyl top is good for its age, but does have a few places that are coming up and that are torn. The front and rear bumper are good straight bumpers to be original. The front I cleaned up some with some steel wool, but the back needs to be cleaned on to remove the overspray. The front bumper has also had the tow bar added to it. The grille is overall straight and does have the center delete plate. The grille surround are also good to be original. The drivers side has a place top and bottom where it has bumped something and I think the passenger side has one spot on the inside where it is painted silver.

I have the chrysler historical paperwork for the car and it shows to have been shipped on Dec.16th 1966 to Stewart-Mathena Dodge in Daytona beach, FL. The options on the car are as follows: Paint: PP1 Bright Red, trim: P6X black all vinyl bucket seats with Black carpet, Engine: 83 = 440 4 bbl dual exhaust, transmission 395 = toqueflite, Radio: 421=music master, Tires 48= 7.75x14 Red streak ,Power equipment 456= power steering, Axle ratio 402= 2.94:1 , glass 522= tinted-windshield only, 581= wheel covers,606 = vinyl roof black in color, 616 = stripes. The car also still retains the original fender tag and certi card. Some info on the fender tag is TRM=P6X, PNT=PP, WS23 83 485 C1908204. The certi card also has some info on it such as  P6X, PP1 T5 SA 1219 and the vin os WS23L77160776. Car came factory with white painted pinstripes. The car aslo has the SO number stamped into the radiator support  77C1908204. The fender tag and certi card are both pictured. The fender tag looks to have had a battery blow up on it in the past and is missing a section. I did remove the original carpet to get a good look at the floor pans and also to picture them. I did not see a build sheet under the carpet. I guess it may be possible to find one somewhere else in the car, but I can not say for sure that there is one.

I bought this car from a man that bought it after the engine was blown up while being raced in 1979 or 1980. It has been in dry storage since then so that explains the condition. The damage done to the car during the racing was they rolled/flattened the factory inner quarter panel lip of both quarters to get a bigger tire under the car. They also removed the original passenger seat along with the back seats. They removed and discarded the original rear set of quarter wheel lip trim as well. I have found and replaced passenger seat with correct tracks, and another back seat. The car has its original drivers side bucket seat, door panels in nice original condition, original carpet, original headliner that has been repaired, and original dash. The dash pad is crack free, but has had a tachometer mounted on it in front of the driver so it does have a couple holes through it. I have some replacement seat medalions that go with the car, but they will need to be restored.

My original plan for the car was to buff the car up and get it looking decent then do the brakes and fuel system, build the engine and trans to get the car road worthy and drive it just as it is. I think it would make a neat cruiser as is , but you could also turn in and do a resto on the car if you choose. I have installed a complete set of centerline auto drags on the car. The rears are 15X8 with 275/60/15 tires that are at least 50 percent good tread. The fronts are 15x4 or 15x4.5 with basically new 165/80R15 tires. I just have too many project pulling to many direction and I also have a limited amount of space to put them in so I thought I would see how this car does as it sets. As I say the car does have its own issues, but it is a fairly original car that has not been restored. It is also 46 years old car that has been driven and raced. Plese use the pictures that have been provided to also help aid in the description as all sales are final and the car is sold as is how is with no type of warranty. Here is a link to a photo bucket account that also has 285 pictures of the car that I have taken from the time I purchased it. http://s298.photobucket.com/user/mattsmopars/library/1967%20coronet?sort=3&page=7#/user/mattsmopars/library/1967%20coronet?sort=3&page=1&_suid=1377558112091011650006251918216

As I said before the car is sold as is with no warranty. All sales are final. Please do not bid if you are not serious about purchasing the car. If you have less than 10 positive feedback please contact me before you bid. All shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser. I will try to work any way that I can to help aid in the pick up of the car. A $500.00 dollar non refunable deposit will be required through paypal within 24 hours of the end of the auction. The car must be paid in full with cash or bank wire transfer within 7 days of auction end. I will also try to work with the buyer on keeping the car stored, but I would prefer it be moved within one month. Please ask any and all questions before the auction ends and before you bid. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. You can send me an Ebay message if you want my phone number and I will be glad to talk with you as well. I do have a clear Tennesse title in my name. The car will not leave until all funds have cleared the bank or it has been paid in full . Thanks for looking!

Dodge Challenger spied exercising supercharged Hellcat Hemi V8

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

One of the prime complaints against the Dodge Challenger is that, even in SRT8 guise, its 470 horsepower is responsible for hauling over 4,200 pounds of vehicle. For comparison, the 420 hp in the Ford Mustang GT only has to deal with 3,618 lbs. Things only get worse from there, as the higher-performance variants of both the Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro are far more powerful than an SRT8 without adding on much heft.
So what is Chrysler to do? The correct answer is add a whole lot more grunt to its hefty two-door and even the odds. That's where the all-new Hellcat engine comes into play. We reported on this engine in May, and suggested that the Hellcat, a supercharged powerplant based on a 6.4-liter V8, would easily generate 500 to 570 hp and could likely arrive boasting more than 600 ponies.
Chrysler's ace in its sleeve has now been spied testing, with a number of Hellcat-equipped Challengers running the potent new engine both in more urbanized areas and under the sun of Death Valley. The hoods on these testers have been raised to accommodate the engine, and that camouflage over the fascias of these prototypes is there to hide a larger air intake. We also note what appears to be a new split grille under wraps. As for power output, our spies are now suggesting a Viper-equalling 640 hp from the Hellcat-equipped cars.

Ram to go on a Rampage with new small pickup?

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

When people look back at today's automotive industry, what do you think they'll remember us for? The emergence of hybrids? Ever more expensive and exotic supercars? The dawn of the self-driving car? All likely scenarios, but so is the blurring of lines between one bodystyle and another, giving rise to hardtop convertible coupes and crossovers of every shape and size. But one bodystyle the North American auto industry has stayed largely away from in the past couple of decades is a car nose and chassis with a pickup bed.
It's a bodystyle immortalized by the Chevrolet El Camino, but with few exceptions, we haven't seen too many of these automotive platypuses in recent years on our turf. Subaru tried with the Baja and the low-volume Honda Ridgeline soldiers along largely unchanged, but the genre's biggest adherents are still Down Under, where ute versions of the Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon live. With a few other examples scattered to the four corners of the earth, that's really about it. But if these spy shots are anything to go by, it looks like Fiat Chrysler Automobiles could be working to bring it back.
Spied undergoing testing in Michigan, what we appear to be looking at is a heavily disguised Fiat Strada being prepared - like the Fiat Ducato-based Ram ProMaster and the smaller Doblo-based ProMaster City - for Stateside duty as a Ram product. The Strada, for those unfamiliar, is a product of Fiat Automóveis in Brazil and is based on the Palio economy car. The nameplate has been around South America since 1996 and was originally designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro (long before Volkswagen monopolized his talents), and takes a more rugged approach in the form of the Strada Adventure.

NHTSA investigating 110,000 Ram 2500s and 3500s, one death alleged

Fri, 23 May 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched an investigation focusing on 110,000 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups from model years 2004 to 2006. One death has already been reported, according to NHTSA, due to a potential fault with the clutch interlocks on manual-transmission versions of the heavy duty pickup.
According to the report, these trucks can be started without depressing the clutch. There have been three reports so far, and as we mentioned above, one very sad incident seems to have resulted in the death of a child.
"One complaint involved an incident that occurred when a child was able to enter the vehicle and start the ignition without depressing the clutch. The vehicle then moved forward striking another child resulting in a fatality," NHTSA said in the investigation bulletin, which you can view below.
