Location:

Mesa, Arizona, United States

Mesa, Arizona, United States

 This is a 1 of approximately 400 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 Convertibles with a 383 Big Block and Auto Transmission
98,061 BOX A MILES, That is under 100K miles ever!
Only 400 ever produced from the factory

Please look at pictures very carefully as I have tried to include pictures of everything

The car was disassembled by previous owner and taken to shop to begin restoration.  The shop went under and the owner received his car back in pieces and gave up on the restoration.

The body is not perfect by any means, but is most definitely worth saving.  You can see rust in the rear inner fenders, and behind the rear seat in the trunk.  If you would like pictures of a certain area, please ask and I will be happy to get it.  I do not know the complete history of the car, but it is clear to me that someone has done a lot of metal work, with a lot more needed to be done.  The car rolls around fine.  I have the original 383 Big Block and the original automatic transmission.  These are supposed to be the original numbers matching parts to the car.  The only part I've noticed that I can not find is the original carburetor.  A list of the major components that are noteworth:

* Bucket Seats in Front
* Center Console with built in clock (Have multiple console bezels)
* Rear Seat also included
* No cracks in windshield
* All Glass is included save the rear glass for the convertible top.  The top has deteriorated
*Car was running and driving prior to disassembly for restoration
*Clean and Clear title w/ 98K BOX A MILES
*All Panels present (Hood, Fenders, Doors, Trunk, Quarters, Bumpers, ETC)
*ONE OFF Reproduction Sill Plates Included with Sale (Were not cheap to have made)
* You'll notice in the photos there are duplicates of many items, the auction includes ALL of them!

This vehicle is a serious project, but it is VERY RARE and worth putting back together.  I believe all of the trim, moulding, and emblems are accounted for, but can not guarantee it, as I am no expert on 1965 Dodge Coronets.

Buyers/Bidders are encouraged to view vehicle in person as this is an AS IS Sale, All Sales are Final, there will be no refunds or exchanges given.  By bidding on the vehicle you enter into a contract with myself (The Owner) to pay any moneys that you bid as well as handle any costs accrued for shipping of the vehicle.  If you have any questions or would like to discuss anything regarding this vehicle, feel free to message me and I will respond promptly!

$1,000 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 Hours of completion of the auction, with the remainder due within 72 hours of the completion of the auction.  Only acceptable payments will be Paypal or Cashiers Check for the initial $1000 and only a bank drafted Cashier's Check or Cold Hard Cash will be accepted for the balance.

The vehicle will not be delivered to any delivery service or will it be released until payment is received in FULL!  I'll be happy to drop the vehicle off to a shipper, but only at the buyers expense and all arrangements are the responsibility of the buyer.  Buyer will sign a responsibility release, meaning once the vehicle is in posession of the shipping company, I am no longer responsible for any damages or missing items.  That will depend on the quality of shipper you, the buyer select and are willing to pay for.  Please ask any questions before it becomes an issue.

Should the bidder refuse to pay, I reserve the right to take legal action via EBAY and by Private Lawyer if Necessary, not only for the amount due for the vehicle but also for any damages to be deemed by my lawyer.
Of course I hope it never comes to that but I like to have my bases covered.

Vehicle is also for sale locally, and I reserve the right to end auction if vehicle sells privately.

SRT back to Dodge, Dart SRT, new Challenger, Charger and Caravan's death outlined in 5-yr plan

Tue, 06 May 2014

The onslaught of news from Fiat Chrysler's layout of five-year plans continued with Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis this morning, including the unexpected announcement that SRT was coming back into the fold.
After just a few years existing as an independent entity within the Fiat Chrysler universe, an unceremonious press release hit in conjunction with today's lineup of announcements, saying "the SRT family of vehicles will be consolidated under the Dodge brand." Group CEO Sergio Marchionne thanked SRT headman Ralph Gilles for his dedication to the high-performance wing, calling out is efforts in expanding the vehicle lineup and including more customized models. He did not reference disappointing SRT Viper sales today, but we sense there's a bit of subtext.
With the SRT reunion at Dodge, it's appropriate that some of the most exciting product announcements for the next five years have to do with upcoming performance products. First out of the gate will be a refresh for that flagging Viper in 2015, which comes as little surprise.

NHTSA probing Ram recall pace, communication

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced that it's looking into Chrysler Group's handling of a pair of recalls affecting roughly one million Ram pickup trucks. Reuters is reporting that the regulatory agency is focusing on the availability (or lack thereof) of parts and "poor communications" from the automaker in its investigation.
"Customers have been advised in accordance with the regulations governing recalls," Chrysler spokesman Eric Mayne told Reuters via email. "We are continually replenishing our supply of replacement parts. Chrysler Group regrets any inconvenience our customers may have experienced."
NHTSA disagrees, arguing that the recalls, which affect 972,000 trucks from 2003 to 2012, are being delayed by the lack of parts.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
