 This is a 1 of approximately 400 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 Convertibles with a 383 Big Block and Auto Transmission
98,061 BOX A MILES, That is under 100K miles ever!
Only 400 ever produced from the factory

Please look at pictures very carefully as I have tried to include pictures of everything

The car was disassembled by previous owner and taken to shop to begin restoration.  The shop went under and the owner received his car back in pieces and gave up on the restoration.

The body is not perfect by any means, but is most definitely worth saving.  You can see rust in the rear inner fenders, and behind the rear seat in the trunk.  If you would like pictures of a certain area, please ask and I will be happy to get it.  I do not know the complete history of the car, but it is clear to me that someone has done a lot of metal work, with a lot more needed to be done.  The car rolls around fine.  I have the original 383 Big Block and the original automatic transmission.  These are supposed to be the original numbers matching parts to the car.  The only part I've noticed that I can not find is the original carburetor.  A list of the major components that are noteworth:

* Bucket Seats in Front
* Center Console with built in clock (Have multiple console bezels)
* Rear Seat also included
* No cracks in windshield
* All Glass is included save the rear glass for the convertible top.  The top has deteriorated
*Car was running and driving prior to disassembly for restoration
*Clean and Clear title w/ 98K BOX A MILES
*All Panels present (Hood, Fenders, Doors, Trunk, Quarters, Bumpers, ETC)
*ONE OFF Reproduction Sill Plates Included with Sale (Were not cheap to have made)
* You'll notice in the photos there are duplicates of many items, the auction includes ALL of them!

This vehicle is a serious project, but it is VERY RARE and worth putting back together.  I believe all of the trim, moulding, and emblems are accounted for, but can not guarantee it, as I am no expert on 1965 Dodge Coronets.

Buyers/Bidders are encouraged to view vehicle in person as this is an AS IS Sale, All Sales are Final, there will be no refunds or exchanges given.  By bidding on the vehicle you enter into a contract with myself (The Owner) to pay any moneys that you bid as well as handle any costs accrued for shipping of the vehicle.  If you have any questions or would like to discuss anything regarding this vehicle, feel free to message me and I will respond promptly!

$1,000 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 Hours of completion of the auction, with the remainder due within 72 hours of the completion of the auction.  Only acceptable payments will be Paypal or Cashiers Check for the initial $1000 and only a bank drafted Cashier's Check or Cold Hard Cash will be accepted for the balance.

The vehicle will not be delivered to any delivery service or will it be released until payment is received in FULL!  I'll be happy to drop the vehicle off to a shipper, but only at the buyers expense and all arrangements are the responsibility of the buyer.  Buyer will sign a responsibility release, meaning once the vehicle is in posession of the shipping company, I am no longer responsible for any damages or missing items.  That will depend on the quality of shipper you, the buyer select and are willing to pay for.  Please ask any questions before it becomes an issue.

Should the bidder refuse to pay, I reserve the right to take legal action via EBAY and by Private Lawyer if Necessary, not only for the amount due for the vehicle but also for any damages to be deemed by my lawyer.
Of course I hope it never comes to that but I like to have my bases covered.

Vehicle is also for sale locally, and I reserve the right to end auction if vehicle sells privately.

MotorWeek remembers a better time for Mitsubishi performance

Fri, Feb 26 2016

Dodge still knows how to create an capable performance car – look at the Hellcats, for example – but the same isn't true for Mitsubishi. With the Lancer Evo's demise, we don't expect driving enthusiasts to clamor for any of the Japanese automaker's other products. Things used to be different, though. As MotorWeek found in its new Retro Review, the 1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 and its sibling, the Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo, were impressive sports coupes in their day. Dodge and Mitsubishi packed a bevy of cutting-edge tech into the coupes. In these trims, both sported all-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, an adjustable suspension, active exhaust, and automatic climate control. The 3000GT VR4 upped the ante even more with active aero parts at the front and rear. Their 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 was good for 300 horsepower and 307 pound-feet, which were good numbers at the time. This pair put all their gizmos to good use, too. MotorWeek compares the all-wheel-drive system's grip levels to a Porsche 911 Carrera 4. When was the last time you heard any favorable similarity between a Mitsubishi and a Porsche? The Stealth R/T Turbo and 3000GT VR4 came from a special time for Japanese sports coupes, when every brand had a halo model. Whether you were looking at Nissan 300ZX, Mazda RX-7, Toyota Supra, or even the Acura NSX, there was a lot to like on the market. MotorWeek's latest Retro Review offers a great reminder of that period.

FCA issuing software update for 1.4M vehicles to prevent hacking

Fri, Jul 24 2015

In the wake of a Jeep Cherokee being hacked remotely while on the road through its Uconnect infotainment system, FCA US is now issuing a software update for 1.4 million vehicles in the United States. Affected customers will receive a USB stick in the mail with the improved version; owners can check this website to see if their cars are affected. A large variety of models with FCA's 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system are affected. They include the 2015 Chrysler 200, 2015 Chrysler 300, 2015 Dodge Charger, and 2015 Dodge Challenger; 2013-2015 Dodge Viper; 2013-2015 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500; 2013-2015 Ram 3500, 4500, and 5500 chassis cab; 2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Cherokee; and 2014-2015 Dodge Durango. According to FCA in its announcement, the new software "insulates connected vehicles from remote manipulation." As of July 23, the company also "fully tested and implemented within the cellular network" additional security to prevent access to many of a vehicle's systems. FCA US says that it's conducting this campaign out of an abundance of caution and disputes the notion that there's a defect with these vehicles. Beyond the demonstration of the hack in the Cherokee, the automaker says that it's unaware of any other reports of these attacks actually happening. Related Video: Statement: Software Update July 24, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is conducting a voluntary safety recall to update software in approximately 1,400,000 U.S. vehicles equipped with certain radios. The recall aligns with an ongoing software distribution that insulates connected vehicles from remote manipulation, which, if unauthorized, constitutes criminal action. Further, FCA US has applied network-level security measures to prevent the type of remote manipulation demonstrated in a recent media report. These measures – which required no customer or dealer actions – block remote access to certain vehicle systems and were fully tested and implemented within the cellular network on July 23, 2015. The Company is unaware of any injuries related to software exploitation, nor is it aware of any related complaints, warranty claims or accidents – independent of the media demonstration.
