This auction is for a "RARE" 1966 Dodge Coronet 440. California desert car with next to no rust and still has the original Warranty card. I purchased the car in Palm Desert CA in December 2003. It has the original matching # 361ci motor and automatic transmission with power steering. Manual brakes - but turned drums, rebuilt wheel cylinders and fresh brake shoes. Hooker headers with Flowmaster Series 20 mufflers with a nice deep throaty sound, and has set off car alarms. It has a very aggressive cam which makes it hard to start at times. The car was originally KK medium turqouis as seen in the engine compartment pictures. It was painted at Maaco in June 2008 a Dodge Signal Green including all jambs, with a hot rod matte black hood color - cost $1,541. It's been garaged ever since. Although it's not true to car, I would recommend a matte black ribbon at the rear of the car for balance. Both front and rear sets repaded and recovered by West Coast Customs for $1,068. Front bumper straightened and re-chromed by Keystone in Stockton CA. New gas tank, gommet, filler neck seal, and elbows. New trunk mat, divider insulation, and spare tire cover. New truck lid seal installed. New front and back door panels. New black carpet from Jim's Auto Parts. Under the carpet, we installed noise and heat insulation pad. New glove box liner and headliner insulation not yet installed. But do have bows and clips. New hood to cowl seal installed. New Edelbrock intake manifold with Edelbrock 600 cfm carb. The car had a huge tunnel ram intake with way too much carb.when I purchased. The body trim pieces were rattle can painted flat black - but didn't stick as you can see in the pics. They need to be removed and either stripped of the paint or powder coated flat black. New hood insulation installed. Car has ALL the correct badges and letters. Beautiful classic Mopar rally rims with 60R/15 BF Goodrich tires all around purchased at Stockton Wheels for about $1,000. New KYB shocks on all four. Mallory electronic iginition. Accell Super Coil. Dash in decent shape but needs work. Speedometer and gas level not working. Rear deck lid needs to be finished. Front windshield has a chip in it - and all other glass is great. I do have some misc. parts that go with the car.
This is NOT a frame off restoration. It was a car my son and I worked on and he drove all through high school. He's now graduated from college and moving overseas. We love this car and both of us hate to see it go. It's not a showroom car but a quality daily driver and close to being finished.
This car is sold in "As Is" condition with no warranties implied or agreed upon. PayPal payment highly preferred. Clear CA Title with current registration.

Dodge to resurrect Scat Pack?
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Before social media ever existed, if automotive enthusiasts wanted to be noticed or recognize other fans, they joined a car club. For Dodge muscle car lovers from 1968 through 1971, that group was known as the Scat Pack. Just like the Charger, Challenger and Dart nameplates, it looks like the Scat Pack could be getting a resurrection by Chrysler.
Automotive News is reporting that Chrysler recently renewed its trademark on the Scat Pack name, and while this is in no way a guarantee that the name will return, AN talked to Tim Kuniskis, Dodge President and CEO, who stoked the fire a little more. In the article, Kuniskis said that the name is "a very important part of our history" and added that "we like the whole idea of having a Scat Pack of cars." Scat Pack models were identified by their bumblebee stripes and helmet-wearing bumblebee logo, and the idea of a modern Scat Pack doesn't seem all that outlandish in light of recent vehicles like the Charger SRT Super Bee and the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee Concept.
What do you think, is this a cool idea, or is it just an unwelcome bit of nostalgia? Have you say in Comments.
Marchionne on Alfa's US return, Dodge Dart's powertrain weakness and minivan plans
Fri, 18 Jan 2013As a reporter covering an auto show, the one opportunity you never want to miss is going to the Sergio Marchionne press briefing.
"This undertaking to bring Alfa back is a one-shot deal... We are not going to do this twice."
There just aren't that many real characters left in the auto industry. Marchionne, who sits atop both Chrysler and Fiat, is not only one of the smartest execs in the business, but also the most frank. Herein, a sample of the quotable always-sweatered executive:
IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The 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.
