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 until this past summer. Since pulling it out of long term storage 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 3,000 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 28,000 plus miles which is really 128,000. 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 month 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.
The Speedometer needs to be pulled out and fresh lubricants added as it chatters and bounces some in cold weather.
Please contact me with any questions you have.
Thank You for looking.

Old vs. New: 2014 SRT Viper takes on upgraded 16-year-old Dodge Viper
Fri, 08 Feb 2013It's easy to play the "Would you rather have a New X or an Old Y with a bunch of upgrades?" game more often than we care to admit, but the crew at Car and Driver have taken bench racing to the next level with their latest video. In it, the magazine pits a brand-new 2014 SRT Viper against a highly modified 1997 Dodge Viper GTS. There are 16 years between the time this particular GTS rolled off the production line and when the new car bowed, but that doesn't mean the old snake's owners have been sitting on their hands.
Thanks to a spate of modifications, the GTS offers up a better power to weight ratio than the new machine, but is that enough to overcome the technological leap forward represented by the 2014 Viper? We won't spoil it for you. You'll just have to check out the full clip below for yourself.
2013 Dodge Challenger R/T Redline revs into Chicago
Fri, 01 Feb 2013When Dodge released the Challenger Rallye Redline last year, it brought a new dimension of styling to the car's classic muscle car lines, but it was only available in V6 form lacking the oomph to back up its sinister appearance. To remedy that situation, Dodge is unveiling the Challenger R/T Redline, powered by a Hemi V8 engine, at the Chicago Auto Show.
Other than the extra cylinders, most of the R/T's Redline package carries over from the Rallye model including the custom-look 20-inch black chrome wheels with red paint accents, but the R/T version of the package gets more of a retro look to the side stripes with graphite graphics featuring Redline lettering. Cars equipped with the six-speed manual transmission will get a performance-tuned, low-restriction exhaust allowing the engine to produce 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque; cars with the five-speed auto are rated at 372 hp and 400 lb-ft, but they do offer a bright chrome Mopar t-handle shifter and steering wheel paddle shifters.
The R/T Redline Group is offered only on cars painted in Billet Silver, Granite Crystal, Bright White and Pitch Black, and it adds just $1,995 to the MSRP of the Challenger R/T (starting at $31,990) and the Challenger R/T Plus (starting at $33,990), which adds features like Nappa leather and Boston Acoustics speakers.
Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).
