1966 Dodge Coronet 440 2dr Ht 383 V8 on 2040-cars
Woodway, Texas, United States

Selling my 1966 Dodge Coronet 440 2dr hardtop as I just have too many cars in my collection. This car was bought new in Waco and has spent its entire life within a 90 mile radius of Waco. As a result this is absolutely a rust free car which has been in the family since the mid 1980's when my uncle bought it. At this point the interior was redone with a nice vinyl "tuck in roll" on the seats along with a fresh paint job in its original color scheme. A few years later it's 383 V8 received an overhaul along with with harden valve seats to allow it to run better on unleaded fuel. It has traveled about 23,000 miles since. I bought it in 1999 and drove it off and on till 2001 when I parked it. Since pulling it out of long term storage 2 years ago it has received a brake system rebuild with new master cylinder, fuel tank cleaning with new sending unit, Carburetor rebuild, new power steering box, 727 transmission rebuild with external cooler system installed, new mufflers and new radial tires. It has now traveled less than 4,000 miles since the most recent maintenance.
This is a factory HP 383 4bbl with 727 automatic transmission with 323 rear axle. It has factory air (not working at the moment) and Power Steering. Odometer shows 29,000 plus miles which is really 129,000. This is not a show car but rather a fantastic Saturday cruiser or daily driver. The paint and upholstery show normal signs of wear and tear. The left rear fender area has some previous minor body damage which is starting show some, however every where that I drive this car I get numerous complements and even had a couple of offers to buy it, but I have not been ready to sell it till now. Things it still needs: The rear leaf spring shackle bushings need to be replaced as the rubber has recently in the last year given up after 47 years. These parts are readily available via various Internet suppliers for about $150 - $200. I have just not had the time to replace them yet. The AC system needs to be reworked, however the heater and all duct work function properly. Again I have not had enough time to put it back into working shape, however if I still own this car by summer it will have working AC. Ha!! Ha!! The Speedometer needs to be pulled out and fresh lubricants added as it chatters and bounces some in cold weather. All in all this is great car in wonderful shape and is tons of fun to drive. Please feel free to contact me with questions! This Coronet is being sold as is with no expressed warranty! Thank You for looking! |

Experience the New York Auto Show by drone
Fri, Apr 10 2015The Autoblog team recently returned from wildly running around the Javits Center to cover all the news and debuts at the New York Auto Show. Sometimes, it's nice to take a more serene look at the exhibition floor, though, and the event's organizers are providing that exact opportunity by flying a drone through the hall. Combined with the down-tempo music, this clip feels like a form of automotive meditation. If you're going to miss the show in the Big Apple, the drone also provides a good overview at the exhibition floor, especially at the stands from Lexus, Buick, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and BMW. Plus, it's a fun way to see some vehicles from a completely different angle than they ever appear on the road.

Weekly Recap: FCA hit with record fine as NHTSA crackdown continues
Sat, Aug 1 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration slapped Fiat Chrysler Automobiles with a record fine this week that could reach $105 million. The punishment comes after NHTSA found problems with the automaker's execution of 23 recalls that affect more than 11 million vehicles. The consent agreement, announced Sunday, calls for FCA to pay a $70-million cash fine and requires the company to spend at least $20 million over a three-year period on industry outreach programs and to beef up old recall campaigns. Failure to comply will result in another $15-million fine. FCA also agreed to federal oversight, which includes an independent monitor to oversee the company's recalls. The $70-million cash fine equals a penalty NHTSA levied on Honda in January. "Fiat Chrysler's pattern of poor performance put millions of its customers and the driving public at risk," NHTSA administrator Mark Rosekind said in a statement. "This action will provide relief to owners of defective vehicles, will help improve recall performance throughout the auto industry, and gives Fiat Chrysler the opportunity to embrace a proactive safety culture." FCA called the deal a "consensual resolution," but admitted that it "failed to timely provide an effective remedy" during certain recalls. "We are intent on rebuilding our relationship with NHTSA and we embrace the role of public safety advocate," the company said in a statement. The announcement kicked off a busy week for the automaker. NHTSA agreed FCA did not need to recall 4.7 million vehicles after an investigation failed to find defects with a power module used in some Jeep, Dodge, and Ram vehicles. A Georgia judge also reduced a civil verdict involving a death in a Jeep Grand Cherokee crash. Amid all of that, the company reported net profit of about 333 million euros, or $364 million in the second quarter on Thursday. OTHER NEWS & NOTES FCA ramps up Hellcat production Despite a decidedly legal and financial week for FCA, there was still time for the performance side of the business to briefly grab the spotlight. The automaker is more than doubling its production of the Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcats in response to strong demand. The order bank opens the second week of August and production begins in September. FCA will finish up its scheduled 2015 model-year Hellcat builds, and cancel any "unscheduled" versions, though customers will get discounted pricing for 2016.
Dodge to resurrect Scat Pack?
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Before social media ever existed, if automotive enthusiasts wanted to be noticed or recognize other fans, they joined a car club. For Dodge muscle car lovers from 1968 through 1971, that group was known as the Scat Pack. Just like the Charger, Challenger and Dart nameplates, it looks like the Scat Pack could be getting a resurrection by Chrysler.
Automotive News is reporting that Chrysler recently renewed its trademark on the Scat Pack name, and while this is in no way a guarantee that the name will return, AN talked to Tim Kuniskis, Dodge President and CEO, who stoked the fire a little more. In the article, Kuniskis said that the name is "a very important part of our history" and added that "we like the whole idea of having a Scat Pack of cars." Scat Pack models were identified by their bumblebee stripes and helmet-wearing bumblebee logo, and the idea of a modern Scat Pack doesn't seem all that outlandish in light of recent vehicles like the Charger SRT Super Bee and the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee Concept.
What do you think, is this a cool idea, or is it just an unwelcome bit of nostalgia? Have you say in Comments.
