Bryan, Texas, United States
What a great classic car I am offering up for sale. This is my 1956 Dodge Coronet 2 door hardtop that is a head turner for sure. This car is one you don’t see every day and is usually the only one present a the car shows I have entered it in. Most people who questioned me about my car say they remember them in the 50’s as a cool and fun cruiser. Some remember it as one they owned back in the day.
This car is almost original with only a few modifications for the better. I personally rebuilt the engine about 9 months ago. I have currently put approx.600-700 miles on the engine. I runs like a top and cruises down the road like a Cadillac. A previous owner put a new style radio in the dash and when I bought it the radio was bad so I replaced it along with new speakers. At least now you can cruise down the road with AM/FM radio and also a CD-DVD player. I have replaced the old oil bath air cleaner with a small custom one and the wheels you see on the car have been replaced. I still have the original oil bath air cleaner and the original wheels and hub caps that go with the purchase of the car.
How cool do you think it would be to cruise in a car like this with the push button 2-speed automatic transmission, new upholstery including the headliner and a new engine. The paint and body is in not so great condition but this is how I planned to leave it to create the classic effect. Now let me list some features of the car. 1956 Dodge Coronet (Lancer trim) 2-door hardtop no post 270 cubic inch Poly “Red Ram” engine (new rebuilt) 2-speed Powerflite push button automatic transmission 5 spoke Eagle Allow wheels 15” wide whitewall tires with nearly new tread 4 wheel drum brakes (manual) 12 volt electrical system Rebuilt steering box (manual) All new radiator and heater hoses Rebuilt 2 barrel carburetor Rebuilt distributor including points, condenser, cap and rotor and all new spark plugs. Engine oil filter converted to a spin on. New master cylinder New Kenwood AM/FM radio CD/DVD player New Kenwood rear speakers New upholstery Front seat belts added No broken glass anywhere New Gabriel air shocks on rear …more features but I feel like photos are the best way to get the real feel about the car so I will post many. If you have a request for a photo of something different than posted just let me know and I will send them directly to you. This vehicle is being sold "AS IS" with no warranty. All pickup and shipping cost are to be paid by the buyer. Deposit in NON-REFUNDABLE. Please make sure you view the photos and description carefully to satisfy your questions.

Hero gets his truck back better than new thanks to community support [w/video]
Sun, 29 Jun 2014You ever hear a story and start cringing before you hear the end because you know how it's going to turn out? That could very well have been the case with the story from a few weeks ago in West Valley City, Utah, where a 14-year-old kid stole his grandfather's Hyundai Veloster and took it for a joyride - through a park full of children. But instead it turned into a heart-warming tale of heroism and a community banding together to do what's right... and then some.
Bryson Rowley was that hero who identified the danger and, rather than sit idly by and watch the joyrider potentially run over a child, got into his truck and drove it into the menacing runaway hatchback. The collision caused some $7,500 to his 2008 Dodge Ram 2500, but instead of getting stuck with the bill - one which his insurance may very well have refused to pay since the crash was, technically speaking, intentional - his community pitched in a helping hand.
Bryan Ellison, who owns West Valley Carstar with his brother, saw the news on television and wanted to help. So he brought Rowley a rental car, picked up his truck and brought it back to his auto repair shop. People from around the community donated parts, and when all was said and done, some $15,000 of work and upgrades were performed on the Ram that was returned to an overwhelmed Bryson Rowley better than new. Watch the video below for the full story.

While these are some of our favorites, Mopar is bringing plenty to SEMA, so let us know your top choices in the comments section.
Ron Burgundy calls Durango a 'terrible car,' yet his ads help sales climb by 59% [w/videos]
Fri, 22 Nov 2013Ron Burgundy was put on this planet to do one thing: to read the news. If that ever falls through, though, the womanizing, scotch-drinking anchorman could have a great career just as a Dodge salesman. Bloomberg points out that sales of the 2014 Dodge Durango have rocketed up 59 percent in the first month of Chrysler's funny new ad campaign (which began in early October). But then again, the entire year has been strong for the big SUV, with year-over-year sales increases in the double and even triple digit percentages - including an increase of 117 percent in August.
Of course, the Durango has also received a wealth of new content and a freshened look for 2014 in addition to the Burgundy campaign, and that has to be helping close sales, too. Whether or not the spots themselves are leading to more sales may be a moot point, since they are definitely getting plenty of attention. Almost two months into the marketing tie-up between Dodge and the movie Anchorman 2, Dodge's YouTube videos have received well over seven million views. More than just YouTube shorts and television commercials, the Durango has even received late-night attention, including when Will Ferrell showed up in character as Ron Burgundy on Conan earlier this week.
In the interview, he calls the Durango a "terrible car" that "cracked in half," a joke that probably had Dodge ad execs squirming uncomfortably in their Barcaloungers. Scroll down to watch the Conan interview as well as some of our favorite Burgundy-pitched Durango ads. And there's still plenty of time to "touch" Ron to win a new Durango.
