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! |

Mopar '13 Dart priced from $25,485*
Wed, 12 Jun 2013For the past few years, Chrysler's Mopar in-house tuning division has created its own one-off versions of several cars in the automaker's portfolio, including the Mopar '10 Challenger, Mopar '11 Charger and Mopar '12 300. For 2013, the black-and-blue up-do has been given to the new Dart compact, and Chrysler has announced that the limited-edition sedan is now available for order, priced from $25,485, not including *$995 for destination.
Like previous Mopar edition vehicles, the Dart is painted in a signature Pitch Black exterior with an offset blue racing stripe. The sedan sits seven millimeters lower to the ground and gets visual add-ons like a chin spoiler, decklid spoiler and rear diffuser, along with gloss black 18-inch alloy wheels.
Performance wise, the Dart's 1.4-liter MultiAir inline four-cylinder engine remains, producing 160 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, mated to a six-speed manual transmission. The Mopar car gets a sport-tuned exhaust system along with revised power steering calibration and beefier brakes.
Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car is ready to burn rubber at SEMA [w/video]
Wed, 05 Nov 2014The Dodge Charger R/T is all set to rocket down the drag strip in NHRA Funny Car competition with a completely redesigned body debuting at this year's SEMA Show. While only the front decal, side scallops and rear logo really signal this racer as a Charger, that doesn't take away from its promise of hitting absolutely ludicrous speeds.
The engineers' biggest tweak to the body was moving the cockpit further back. This created more clearance under the hood, and the change came with added advantage of giving the driver better visibility out of the car. Composites like Kevlar also helped make the one-piece shell even lighter, while not sacrificing strength.
The new design has already undergone extensive time in the wind tunnel and real-world runs to make sure that none of the changes negatively impacted the aerodynamics. With those tests out of the way, the Charger R/T Funny Car will have the first chance to truly prove itself in NHRA competition at the 2015 Winternationals from February 5-9 at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, CA.
Chrysler recalling over 200k vehicles across its brands
Wed, 10 Apr 2013With more than 200,000 units across six separate recalls and almost all of its brands, it appears that Chrysler has officially jumped headfirst into the recall pool this month. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued three official recalls for the automaker, and The Detroit News is reporting that the automaker itself has announced three more.
The biggest of the recalls applies to about 120,000 Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300 models for 2011 and 2012 due to faulty wiring harnesses for the seat-mounted side airbags, which could lead to these airbags not deploying in the event of a crash. A little more than 60,000 two-wheel-drive versions of the 2007-2008 Dodge Nitro and 2008 Jeep Liberty SUVs are being recalled due to a heat shield that could cause the driveshaft to break, which if that isn't bad on its own, could then hit underneath where the airbag sensor is mounted, causing the airbags to deploy. Wrapping up NHTSA's recall notices, about 20,000 Jeep Patriot and Jeep Compass models for 2012 are also being recalled due to a problem with the fuel tank transfer tube that could lead to the vehicle stalling. The LX car recall campaign is going into effect this month, while the other two will start next month - all three notices are posted below.
In addition to the official NHTSA recalls, The Detroit News is also reporting that Chrysler is recalling more than 16,000 Ram trucks and a small number of Dodge Dart sedans. Around 6,500 2013 Ram 1500 trucks will be recalled due to an improper adjustment of the parking brake cable from the factory, while 7,000 Cummins-powered 2013 Ram Heavy Duty trucks are being recalled due to an engine cover that does not have as much heat resistance as it is supposed to. Finally, a total of 46 Dodge Dart sedans are being recalled due to a problem with the brake calipers and/or parking brake.
