You are bidding on a 1966 Dodge Coronet 500 318 poly with a console shifted automatic. Was driven by the original owners between California and new mexico up unitl 1979 when the poly 318 blew up, the couple bought a new 1979 Chrysler and the coronet received a 318 and automatic tranny out of a wrecked 1978 cordoba. My dad bought the car in 1980 and drove it in this condition for 1 year until he sold it to his buddy. His buddy painted it, put mags on it, and swapped a four speed into it. The car sat in a field from 1995 until around 3 years when we received the car back from the family of my dads buddy after his passing. We bought a motorhome 413 with less than 40,000 miles on it, put 915 heads, a lumpy cam, new double roller timing set, new water pump, new melling HV oil pump, comes with a Mallory unilite distributor with Mallory coil and brand new MSD street fire plug wires, a deep oil pan and new gaskets/seals all the way around. It has a strong bottom end and low compression being that it was from a motor home. because of this we planned to supercharge it and make a nostalgic hot rod. 4 speed was rebuilt around 10 years ago and was never used after. The car has a cast iron bellhousing but it has a 10 1/2" clutch/flywheel. BUT we have an 11" flywheel with the car. so it needs an 11" clutch to work with the cast iron bellhousing. OR you need to buy a an aluminum bellhousing to fit the 10 1//2" clutch/flywheel. The body has 36,000 original miles on it. Car has an 8 3/4 rear end with 741 center section with 3:23 gears and a sure grip.

The car is totally rust free. It was originally pale yellow with a gold/tan interior, has the fender tag, door VIN and clear title. Minor surface rust on the floors and trunk. Fenders/Quarters/ doors have minor dents and require body work but all the original sheetmetal should be able to be saved. Car needs the 4 speed welded into place, the airshocks punched through the floor so it needs to be welded back together. Comes with tons of extra trim, 2 extra grilles, some extra turn signals and tail light, has the factory console that was cut to fit the four speed. Engine bay was sanded down and painted with 4 stage rattle can (primer, silver metal flake base, candy apple red top coat, clear coat), looks like nice candy apple red and turned out great. Finish putting it together and make a nostalgic drag car or tear it apart and restore it! GREAT father and son project, like it was with me and my dad. We have run out of money to finish it! Has all the seats and trim, missing one taillight surround, one rocker moulding and the trunk lip trim and maybe other misc. items.

Car may be missing more but it is 95% complete. CAR DOES NOT RUN, the shipper needs to be aware of this, car will be in roller form with NO brakes, We do not ship, we will help load the car with your arranged shipper, we will store it for 30 days after the end of the auction for free, after 30 days its $40 a month. NO refunds, returns. $500 deposit required by paypal with 24 hours of the auctions end.

2020 Dodge Challenger celebrates 50th anniversary with a golden special edition

Wed, Nov 20 2019

Next year will mark the 50th anniversary of the original Dodge Challenger. And obviously Dodge wouldn't let that significant date go by without a special version of the 2020 Dodge Challenger. Meet the limited production Dodge Challenger 50th Anniversary Edition. The package is offered on the V6-powered GT with rear-wheel drive, as well as the R/T, R/T Scat Pack and R/T Scat Pack Widebody. The Hellcat and Hellcat Redeye are left out, but every 2020 example will get special 50th Anniversary badges to make up for that. On the outside, the package features a matte black hood, roof and trunk lid. V8 models get a body-color Shaker scoop. This marks the first time the Shaker scoop has been available on a Widebody Challenger. Despite having a Shaker scoop, the special edition cars also get the air intake headlights pioneered by the Hellcat, and they have a "50" printed on them to go with the other 50th Anniversary badging. All models get 20-inch wheels. These are finished in what Dodge calls "Gold School." These Challengers can be painted in one of seven colors: Frostbite, Hellraisin, Sinamon Stick, Go Mango, TorRed, F8 Green or the all-new Gold Rush. Inside the Challenger 50th Anniversary Edition are Nappa leather and Alcantara-covered seats and "Sepia" stitching and embroidery. It's all matched by carbon fiber trim with copper threads woven into it. The instrument cluster and the air vent badge are finished in the car's exterior color. Dodge will build only 70 of each model in each color as a tribute to the original car's 1970 model year. This means that there will be 490 GTs, 490 R/Ts, 490 R/T Scat Packs and 490 R/T Scat Pack Widebody models for a grand total of 1,960 cars. Each model has a different price for the 50th Anniversary package. It costs $4,995 for the GT, $5,495 for the R/T, and $5,995 for the Scat Pack models. The cars go on sale this coming spring.

2015 Dodge Challenger crash test results slip from last year's model

Mon, Dec 22 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has released the results of its latest round of crash testing, announcing that the 2015 Dodge Challenger has netted a five-star overall crash rating. Of course, Chrysler won't want us to tell you this, but that NHTSA overall rating is not the whole story here. As The Car Connection so astutely points out, five-star rating aside, the refreshed 2015 Challenger actually performed worse than when it was tested back in 2013. The V6-powered SXT model tested by NHTSA in this latest round of testing was only able to record a four-star rating in its frontal crash test, while it nailed a five-star rating in the side-impact test. The 2013 Challenger managed a five-star rating in the frontal test. Of course, while this rating is a sign of overall good news for Challenger fans, the car, as TCC argues, has yet to be tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. It'll be interesting to see if these NHTSA ratings translate to an IIHS Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick Plus. Scroll down for the full press release from FCA. All-new 2015 Dodge Challenger Earns Five-Star Overall Safety Rating From U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 2015 Dodge Challenger coupe earns five stars overall, the highest possible score in NHTSA's safety rating program More than 70 safety and security features, including new for 2015 class-exclusive Forward Collision Warning, adaptive cruise control, Blind-spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path detection All-new 2015 Dodge Challenger starts at $26,995 (excluding tax, destination and title) December 18, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The all-new 2015 Dodge Challenger has earned a five-star overall safety rating from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Five stars is the highest possible safety rating given by NHTSA. "The new Dodge Challenger coupe further demonstrates our commitment to broaden the proliferation of advanced safety technologies, such as driver-assist features," says Scott Kunselman, Senior Vice President-Vehicle Safety and Regulatory, FCA-North America. In its assessment of the new Challenger, NHTSA notes the availability of Forward Collision Warning (FCW), which features forward-facing sensors programmed to detect the potential for certain types of frontal collisions. If detected, the driver is alerted with visual and audible warnings. The 2015 Dodge Challenger is the only car in its segment with such capability.

121k Dodge Darts being investigated over braking problem

Mon, Jun 22 2015

The 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.
