I'm listing our 1965 Dodge Coronet 440 two door hardtop. The first 4 photos were taken last spring, and the rest were taken this week. My son bought it in 2012 to work on while in Technical College, but it's not really what he wanted so it's up for sale. It had been sitting under a shelter in central Georgia for 25+ years when the guy we bought it from got it. He painted everything under the hood black, red, and silver for some reason, and the wheels blue. He also removed the gas tank and strapped a 5 gallon gas can inside the trunk. At least he ran a vent line outside the trunk! The original motor was gone when he got it and it has what is believed to be an early 70's slant six in it now. Our plan was to put a 383 in it and convert the three on the tree to a floor shift four speed, but it never happened. It is a driveable project, but needs brakes, floor pans, a gas tank , and a new battery to be road worthy. Odometer now reads 6021, but actual mileage is unknown. According to the Fender Tag it was originally a 361 big block car with 3 speed manual transmission. It has a three speed manual on the column. It is a manual steering, manual drum brake car. It has the factory remote driver mirror, and variable speed wipers. The variable speed wiper motor works, but one piece of the linkage is missing from under the dash. The taillamp lenses are cracked. It still appears to have what's left of the original Dark Turquoise Metallic and White paint. It need a complete restoration to be nice, but it is the most solid unrestored mid 60's Mopar I've seen in a while. The passenger compartment floors are in poor shape, but AMD makes a correct reproduction one piece floor pan for this car. It had some import bucket seats, but I bought a 63 Polara split bench seat to go in it. Both rear quarters need patch panels where the quarter panel rolls under to the trunk drop-off. The front fenders have a very small amount of rust on the lower rear of the wheel openings, and there are a few small holes on the top of the driver fender as shown in one of the photos (with a nickel there for comparison). The trunk floor and the rest of the body is solid, but there are some minor dents and dings present. There is surface rust on the hood with some pitting, but I couldn't find any holes. Underneath the hood (including the front lip) is clean and solid. There is no broken or cracked glass, but the windshield is fogging around the edges. The grille and front bumper will need to be replaced. The decklid has a dent and the rear lip of it is badly rusted so it will need to be replaced. The rear bumper would be a good core for rechroming. The tires have held air ever since we got it and it rolls very easy, but the tires are dryrotted. I have had the door and ignition locks rekeyed so they match and work smoothly. If it sells with the buy-it-now option, I will include a set of NOS taillamp lenses. We have a clear Georgia registration for the car in our name because Georgia doesn't require a title on a vehicle this old. I have sold quite a few old vehicles to title state buyers with a notarized bill of sale and a copy of my Georgia registration and none had any problems getting the vehicles titled in their state, so getting a title in Florida or another title state won't be a problem. Although the car runs and drives, I would recommend trailering it due to the bad brakes/tires. A deposit of $500 through paypal is required within 24 hours of auction end, and balance due within 7 days. I will accept personal check for the balance, but neither the car nor the paperwork will be released until the check has had sufficient time to clear the bank. I would consider delivering the car up to 250 miles from Statenville, GA 31648 for $2.10/loaded mile. If you have any questions or would like to see any other pictures let me know. Thanks. |

We cruised Woodward in the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat [w/video]
Tue, 19 Aug 2014
We were definitely rock stars at the 20th edition of the Dream Cruise.
The yell came from somewhere in the crowd: "Hey Hellcat, push it!" We obliged with a jab of the throttle, and the 707 horses of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat roared to life. It went on like this. All weekend. It's one thing to attend the Woodward Dream Cruise, it's quite another to star in it.
Next Dodge Challenger to be electrified, says FCA boss
Mon, Jan 21 2019Dodge is the last of Detroit's Big Three to truly keep the muscle car purpose and heritage alive with the Challenger and Charger. As the Mustang and Camaro have transitioned to sports car-like experiences, the high-horsepower Dodges have stuck to their guns as straight-line behemoths with little intention of competing with the others in corner carving. People still dig the old-school-cool of cars like the Challenger, as sales actually went up while Mustang and Camaro sales took a hit in 2018. That said, new FCA boss Mike Manley said things will be changing in an electric way for the next generation, in a report by The Detroit News. "The reality is those platforms and that technology we used does need to move on. They can't exist as you get into the middle-2020s. New technology is going to drive a load of weight out, so we can think of the powertrains in a different way. And we can use electrification to really supplement those vehicles." News of electrified muscle cars is nothing new at this point. Ford says it's going to reveal a Mustang Hybrid in 2020. And with Al Oppenheiser (former chief engineer for the Camaro) moving to GM's electric division, you better believe Chevrolet is working on an electrified version of the Camaro. This, however, is the first solid evidence we have that FCA and Dodge are making such a move. What Manley said next is something we all know to be true, but a bit heartbreaking nonetheless. "I think that electrification will certainly be part of the formula that says what is American muscle in the future. What it isn't going to be is a V8, supercharged, 700-horsepower engine," Manley says. Even if it's a bit silly, we all love the Hellcat for its 707 horsepower V8. Clearly, plenty of other people do, too, because Dodge keeps cranking out more insane versions of the car with the Redeye and Demon. As for how much electrification Dodge's muscle car will receive, Manley wouldn't go into detail. Though he does say that electrification "can't be the dominant part." This should provide some solace to all those worried the gasoline engine could disappear from the American muscle car. Just as Dodge is reluctant to stray from the original intent of the muscle car, it's not hard to imagine the Challenger/Charger being the last to go full-electric. Gas engines supplemented by 48-volt systems or plug-in hybrids will most likely be the end result when we first see electrified Challengers.
Dodge Viper to out-Hell the Hellcat with supercharged V10?
Wed, 20 Aug 2014The Viper wouldn't be the Viper if it wasn't the most powerful model under the Chrysler umbrella. But with the arrival of the Hellcat engine in the Dodge Charger and Challenger, the Viper has fallen behind in the bragging rights department: where the new supercharged V8 produces 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, the naturally aspirated V10 offers "only" 640 hp and 600 lb-ft - gargantuan output figures by almost any other standard, but crucially behind on the SRT power scale. Conner Avenue is going to have to do something about that.
Although the Hellcat's engine reportedly won't fit under the Viper's hood, SRT is now rumored to have another trick up its sleeve: supercharge the existing V10. According to the Pentastar performance enthusiasts at allpar.com, Chrysler has already taken delivery of the first such prototype engines so that it can begin the process of fitting it into an upgraded Viper.
The spooled ten-pot is tipped to produce around 800 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. More than that and the Viper's drivetrain, chassis and bodywork would have to be substantially reworked. Though beefier transmissions are available, fitting them would reportedly set off a domino-game of changes required to handle the added torque. Which may be something Chrysler would be prepared to do for the next-generation model, but in the meantime, 800 hp could prove enough to put the Viper back atop the Mopar performance ladder where it belongs, and give it an edge against the new Corvette Z06 to rekindle sales.
