1965 Dodge Coronet 440 2 Dr Hardtop Project Factory Big Block Manual Trans on 2040-cars
Statenville, Georgia, United States
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. |

2020 Ford Police Interceptor Utility dominates Michigan State Police testing
Thu, Oct 4 2018The Michigan State Police has released its preliminary findings from testing the 2019 crop of police vehicles, and the results are a bit surprising. The consistent top performer of the bunch was the 2020 Ford Police Interceptor Utility, better known to civilians as the Ford Explorer. Specifically, the top performer was the model with the new turbocharged 3.0-liter V6. The Michigan State Police conducts acceleration, top speed, braking and lap time tests of all the available police vehicles. The 3.0-liter Police Interceptor Utility was the fastest to 60 mph at 5.77 seconds, had the highest top speed of 150 mph, and the best average lap time of 1:36.47. The lap time was particularly impressive as it was just over half a second faster than the next quickest car, the all-wheel-drive V8 Charger. View 13 Photos Still, the 2019 Dodge Charger gave the Explorer a serious run for its money. The all-wheel-drive V8 Charger was only 0.1 seconds behind the Explorer to 60 mph with a time of 5.87 seconds, and the rear-drive version was third quickest at 6.15 seconds. Both V8 Chargers were only 1 mph off of the Explorer's top speed, and the V6 example was third fastest at 141 mph. We already mentioned the all-wheel-drive V8 Charger was half a second off the Explorer's lap time, and the rear-drive variant was just over 1 second behind, giving it the third fastest average time. Dodge also took home braking bragging rights. The V6 Charger won out with a distance of 126.9 feet, followed by the rear-drive V8 Charger with 128 feet, and the V6 Durango Pursuit stopping at 128.8 feet. Now of course where there are winners, there are also losers. The slowest accelerating police car was the Ford Police Responder Hybrid Sedan, better known as the Fusion Hybrid, with a time of 9.24 seconds. At 8.59 seconds was the V6 Dodge Durango, and the V8 Chevy Tahoe with four-wheel-drive was third slowest at 7.98 seconds. Lowest top speed was 106 mph with the Ford F-150 Police Responder with the 3.5-liter turbocharged V6, followed by the V6 and V8 Durangos with 117- and 118-mph top speeds respectively. In braking, the Chevy Tahoes performed the worst with the rear-drive version stopping at 145.7 feet and the four-wheel-drive version stopping at 142.5 feet. The F-150 followed with 141.9 feet. When it came to lap times, the Fusion Hybrid lapped the slowest with a time of 1:46.31. The V6 Durango was about a second faster with a time of 1:45.45.

121k Dodge Darts being investigated over braking problem
Mon, Jun 22 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating the Dodge Dart due to reports of braking problems. Some 121,000 cars are possibly affected, all from the 2013 model year. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA received 18 complaints about the brake pedal becoming hard to depress on these cars, increasing stopping distance. Drivers reported hearing a "pop noise or an air hissing noise when applying the brake pedal, followed by a hard pedal feel and reduced brake effectiveness," NHTSA told the News. In a particularly terrifying incident, one driver says the Dart's braking system shut down while driving at 50 miles per hour. "I feared for my life. It is one of the scariest things I have ever dealt with," the complaint said, according to The Detroit News. A Fiat-Chrysler spokesperson said the automaker is "fully cooperating" with this investigation.
