Rare Opportunity 1966 Hemi Coronet Convertible Survivor on 2040-cars
United States
|
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! |

NHTSA investigates FCA for SUVs that roll out of Park
Tue, Aug 25 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into the 2014 Dodge Durango and 2014-205 Jeep Grand Cherokee after 14 complaints of the SUVs rolling out of Park. An estimated 408,000 of them could be affected, if a recall is necessary. All of the current complaints submitted to NHTSA about the issue concern the Grand Cherokee, and the claims allege that the SUV can roll out of Park whether or not the engine is running. Some folks report that they check the indicator each time because the gear sometimes fails to engage. Among the 14 cases, there are five accounts of crashes and three injuries, including a situation with someone allegedly being rolled over. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations are meant to investigate "the scope, frequency, and safety-related consequence" of a reported problem. They don't necessarily lead to a recall. Related Video: INVESTIGATION Subject : Unattended vehicle rollaway Date Investigation Opened: AUG 20, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15030 Component(s): POWER TRAIN All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) DODGE DURANGO 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2014-2015 Details Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) SUMMARY: The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 14 complaints (VOQs) alleging that after being placed in Park the subject vehicles have then rolled away from their parked position. The unintended motion has occurred with both the engine off and the engine running. ODI has also identified EWR field report data related to the alleged defect. The model year 2014 and 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles are equipped with an electronic gear selector (shift-by-wire system). The gear selection is made by pressing the shifter-paddle forward or backwards; the shifter does not move along a gate path as with conventional gear selectors. A Preliminary Evaluation has been opened to asses the scope, frequency, and safety-related consequence of the alleged defect. The VOQs associated with the opening of this investigation are: 10733158, 10730952, 10683556, 10679497, 10583366, 10725429, 10715401, 10711893, 10676998, 10668651, 10662619, 10662308, 10605865, and 10567538.
Chrysler recalling 644k more Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs over brakes
Wed, 02 Apr 2014Early last month, we reported on Chrysler issuing a preemptive, proactive recall for about 25,000 units of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The issue revolved around a brake system that wasn't causing any actual problems, but delivered an unsatisfactory brake feel, so Auburn Hills called in a good 25,000 of SUVs around the world, including 18,700 in the United States.
Now Chrysler, having apparently determined that the brake problem on its sport utes is actually much bigger than it initially realized, has drastically broadened the scope of the recall. As a result, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for precisely 655,354 examples of the Grand Cherokee and Durango, covering the 2011 through 2014 model years. In addition, Chrysler is recalling 42,380 units in Canada, 21,376 in Mexico and 159,685 overseas.
The problem which Chrysler found revolves around the brake booster, whose center shell has been found to be subject to corrosion, allowing water to get into the brake system. That water in turn could freeze, preventing the brakes from working as well as expected.
2015 Dodge Challenger looks fresh, still plenty retro [w/video]
Thu, 17 Apr 2014It was the Ford Mustang that kicked off the retro-styled muscle car renaissance back in 2005, but it was the Dodge Challenger that served as the movement's poster child, with its unabashedly retro looks. Over the years, though, as the Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro were freshened and upgraded, the look of the big Dodge has remained largely consistent since its 2008 debut. For 2015, the Challenger has received a big freshening, boasting strongly revised front and rear ends and (finally, finally, finally) a redesigned interior.
Let's talk about that new cabin first. It's basically been plucked directly from the redesigned Charger, and boasts the same seven-inch IP display. The center stack's miserable, last-gen display has been replaced by an expansive, 8.4-inch UConnect system. Material quality should see a solid boost with the new cabin, as well.
The exterior, meanwhile, sees a revised front fascia with LED halo lights, as well as new grille inserts. A functional shaker hood scoop is a must-have extra on the V8 models, while the back of the car is highlighted by a new set of LED taillights that don't use the "Racetrack" design of Dodge's other models.
