1966 Dodge Coronet We Code Police/fleet Car on 2040-cars
Spokane, Washington, United States
Unavailable for public purchase, the WE series cars were fleet vehicles sold to police departments and insurance companies. Production was very low and few survive as a result of years of these strippers being used as parts cars for the sexier models. But with the recent uptick in popularity of base models and strippers, this ultra-stripper should be a great restoration candidate. Its nearly rust-free condition should be attractive to any enthusiast, and with only 39,000 original miles, it is a true survivor that should require less than normal restoration investment to make this a real standout car.
I traced this car to Libby, Montana, and upon contacting the City, County, and police departments, was unable to confirm if this was indeed one of their cars, (basically, they never got back to me on promises to "look into it") ... but the City did dissolve their police dept. in 1967 to use County services and this may explain the car's low miles and civilian end use. More investigation might get a hard answer, but I will leave this for a future owner to push. Options appear to be limited to basic radio, tinted glass, and 15" wheels, the latter perhaps part of the fleet package ? I won't get all flowery telling you how "awesome" this car is like so many other ebay sellers. Anyone who knows B-body knows how special this beast is. It is a barn find, not driven since 1979. It has 39,830.4 original miles and the transmission interior and rear end reflect a very low miles car. It needs a little TLC, but it is all there, very unmolested original, and VERY restorable. Wheels were blasted and repainted and the car sits on brand new, high quality radials. Feel free to ask any specific questions. I am selling this car with bill of sale, as I have lost the title. Potential buyers are invited to inspect this car in person. Winning bidder is expected to make 100% payment of winning bid within 10 business days of auction end. Pickup shall be arranged to happen within 30 days of auction end, unless other arrangements are agreed to by seller. Cash, or cashier's check are acceptable payment methods. Buyer is responsible for pickup or shipping from point of sale. Car is for sale locally and auction will be cancelled if sold locally first. I encourage all interested buyers to contact me directly for an honest description to any questions you might have I am available most any time between 8:00am and 8pm PST. 509 . 953 . 4150 |

MotorWeek relives '80s coupes with Dodge Daytona, Ford Escort EXP
Thu, Aug 6 2015Get ready for a wave of nostalgia and the rapid realization of the huge progress in performance cars over the last 30 years. For its latest Retro Review, MotorWeek takes a look back at two, front-wheel drive coupes from the '80s that seem to have entirely vanished from the roads today. Both the 1986 Dodge Daytona CS and the 1986.5 Ford Escort EXP were considered affordable, sporty options in their day, but the passage of time hasn't been kind to either of their specs. The Daytona certainly looks the part of a performance machine with a body that's reminiscent of other '80s coupes, like the third-gen Chevrolet Camaro. However with 146 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque from a 2.2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, acceleration wasn't exactly a strong suit. MotorWeek complained about copious torque steer, as well. The optional CS suspension upgrade package on this Daytona was apparently a nod to Carroll Shelby who was working with Dodge at the time. If anything, the Escort EXP withstands the test of time even worse. As a two-seat coupe, you might have expected Ford's engineers to really turn up the performance to fit the sporty image that the exterior conveyed. That didn't really happen, and depending on which model buyers ordered, they got either 86 horsepower with a 1.9-liter engine or the "high-output" version of that mill with 108 hp.
Dodge Charger to slim down and run turbo four in next generation
Tue, May 31 2016The current Dodge Charger is getting long in the tooth. It was originally introduced in 2005 as a 2006 model. In car terms, that's an eternity, though it's been refreshed twice. Still, FCA US will keep the LX-generation car going, reportedly facelifting it one last time for 2019. After that, there are some bigger changes in store . Automotive News is reporting that the follower to the current LX Charger will lose almost 500 pounds and will once again offer a turbo four-cylinder. You might remember the front-wheel-drive four-banger Charger of the early '80s. The recharged sedan will be twin-turbo and it's going to use the 300-horsepower four-cylinder engine currently under development for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler, AN says. The target weight for the future car is around 3,500 lbs, while the current car has a curb weight of nearly 4,000 lbs. Look for it to arrive in the early 2020s. The new platform will have a touch of Italian flair instead of the Daimler-Benz flavor embedded deep inside the LX cars. It will be built on an extended version of the 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia's "Giorgio" platform, according to AN. Dealers were already shown a styling-buck almost a year ago.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
