1956 Dodge Coronet Lancer on 2040-cars

Year:1956 Mileage:88000

Springfield, Oregon, United States

Here's a car you don't see too often...  a 1956 Dodge Coronet Lancer, 2-dr H/T.  It is almost complete, but still a project.  Here is the description:

BODY:  very straight, some patches of surface rust here and there.  There is a small area under each tail light unit with some holes, as shown in close-up.  All the trim is there, with the exception of the LANCER script on each front fender, and the DODGE script on hood.  Some other trim pieces that don't  appear in photos  are in the trunk.  The antenna is gone, though.  This is a really solid car, in it's original gold & white 2-tone colors.  One tail light needs a red lens - it has 2 clear ones.

Chrome on front grill pieces is excellent.  Bumpers are straight but OK, and need re-chromed.

GLASS:  Driver's side window is cracked, and windshield has some delaminating going on one side (see close-up)

ENGINE:  This V8 Red Ram is a 315 ci poly motor.  It came from a '56 Dodge Royal donor car - it ran great when it was installed 3 years ago.  Still needs linkage hooked up. Radiator has been rebuilt.  I'm not sure about tranny, but the donor cars was a driver, so I'm sure it is OK.

TIRES:  they hold air - that's about it.

INTERIOR:  It needs totally redone. The original seat covers are still on seats.  Door panels are good for patterns only.  All door handles & window cranks are in a box.  Dash looks pretty good too.  I have 3 complete extra dashes, so if you need a part, I have it most likely.  Floors have been patched; drivers side has new piece welded in, and the floor is covered in what looks like fiberglass painted silver...not sure  what that process was.  But it feels solid.  No headliner, but bows are in trunk.  Trunk has one area of rust holes on left, as shown in close-up.  The bottom of the spare tire well is even solid!

  This would make a really great project - it's all there and solid.  Unfortunately there is no title to this car.  It has Oregon license plates from 1956, ( 8E 1233) and the DMV shows nothing on record; it's been out of the loop a long time.  I will provide Bill of Sale.

Arranging transport is buyer's responsibility, but I will help on this end, such as towing it to a pick-up area.

Any questions feel free to call or email me:  (Terry) 541-726-8467  eves PST

 Good luck bidding!  You won't be disappointed....

Dodge pulls New Girl and The Office stars for new Dart spots

Wed, 06 Aug 2014

Dodge is hoping that a heavy dash of humor helps it move some more units of the Dart with a hilarious ad campaign called Don't Touch My Dart. The spots star actors Craig Robinson, best known for his role as Darryl on The Office, and Jake Johnson from New Girl as neighbors and friends playing a game of one-upmanship over Robinson's new car. Johnson is envious of the ride and just wants to touch it.
The ads are pretty funny if you're a fan of somewhat absurdist humor, and Robinson has just the right amount of over-the-top seriousness to really make the commercials work. They have kind of a Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote vibe with Johnson constantly in inept pursuit of what he wants, but he clearly isn't getting it.
The first four spots in the campaign are already online, but according to Dodge this is just the beginning. The company says that it's planning about 24 different versions of these ads in various lengths to play on TV and online. You can check out the ads titled First Scratch, Birdhouse Police Garage Door and Voice Touching below, along with the brand's release about the new ads. There's also a pretty good gag on its YouTube page with Robinson protecting his Dart.

Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car is ready to burn rubber at SEMA [w/video]

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

The Dodge Charger R/T is all set to rocket down the drag strip in NHRA Funny Car competition with a completely redesigned body debuting at this year's SEMA Show. While only the front decal, side scallops and rear logo really signal this racer as a Charger, that doesn't take away from its promise of hitting absolutely ludicrous speeds.
The engineers' biggest tweak to the body was moving the cockpit further back. This created more clearance under the hood, and the change came with added advantage of giving the driver better visibility out of the car. Composites like Kevlar also helped make the one-piece shell even lighter, while not sacrificing strength.
The new design has already undergone extensive time in the wind tunnel and real-world runs to make sure that none of the changes negatively impacted the aerodynamics. With those tests out of the way, the Charger R/T Funny Car will have the first chance to truly prove itself in NHRA competition at the 2015 Winternationals from February 5-9 at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, CA.

Dodge Charger Pursuit nets quickest lap in police car test

Mon, 30 Sep 2013

We wouldn't advocate trying to outrun the police, no matter what you're driving and no matter what they are. But if you see a Dodge Charger bearing down on you with blue lights flashing in your rearview mirror, you'd better think twice before attempting to flee, because the Charger Pursuit has once again emerged as the fastest police cruiser out there.
In the latest Police Vehicle Evaluation held by the Michigan State Police at Grattan Raceway, Dodge says its new Charger Pursuit AWD posted a lap time of 1:33.85. That's quicker than any of the other law enforcement vehicles present, but also makes it the quickest all-wheel-drive cruiser available to law-enforcement officials. That may not make it the quickest of all time, but that honor belongs to the rear-drive Dodge Charger Pursuit, which cuts a fraction of a second off its AWD counterpart's time with a 1:33.70. But in regions where the extra traction could come in handy, that's as negligible a difference as we've ever seen.
Of course, the annual PVE sessions held by the Michigan State Police take in to account a wide variety of performance tests, including top speed, acceleration, braking, handling, fuel economy and ergonomics. The MSP has yet to reveal its full findings from its 2014 model year tests, but we'll be sure to bring them to you when they are published.
