1966 Dodge Coronet 500 Additional Info:

There's just something about a classic Mopar that makes you pay attention, specially with this 1966 Dodge Coronet 500. It's not just the big V8, r the valuable options. This one gets you with the details, ike unique paint that shows off all the square-jawed angles we all love on this piece of American muscle. White is particularly nice when it's done correctly. The respray of the factory color leaves this coupe looking clean and pristine. Dodge really got the design right in '66. This classic has a wide stance that can make this intermediate look full-sized. There's plenty of style touches like the creases along the side that flare out on the quarters, nd that cool taffy-pulled rear end that couldn't space out D-O-D-G-E any wider if it tried. Best of all, subtle custom pinstripe package helps highlight every aggressive thought that was sculpted into the sheetmetal. The interior design proves that the Chrysler stylists were at the top of their game in the '60s. This is further highlighted by a professional restoration of the headliner and intricate seats. In between the front buckets is a center console with the highly stylized gearshift. There's a dashboard full of real gauges, ot "idiot" lights (a nice upgrade), nd a grippy steering wheel like the three-spoke style usually seen the Hemi muscle cars. But this one is built for comfort, hat's why it has everything from heat/defrost, o power steering. There's even plenty of desirable spares (including a correct AM/FM radio) that come with the car.The 440 cubic-inch V8 in the engine bay is not the original motor, ut the swap was for a very good reason. This was built with a 318 and sold to a doctor who made rural house calls. The original engine failed on him in 1967, nd so he figured while the car was being fixed, e'd have a factory 440 motor installed. The engine proved to be strong and reliable enough that this is the powerplant still in the car today. In 1997 this Coronet went through a restoration that overhauled the engine, nd included a new cam, hain, earings, nd rings. It now makes an awesome rumble from a Flowmaster dual exhaust. The three-speed automatic transmission was also rebuilt, nd they added a 2,800 RPM stall converter. But this restoration went much further. It included an entire fuel system upgrade, ew brakes, ew driveshaft, nd a 3.23 ratio Sure-Grip limited slip read end was installed. It goes down the road nicely thanks to new brushings and Hemi-sourced torsion bars. This package is capped off with the larger 15-inch cop car wheels, ith dog dish ventilated hubcaps.You know there were fewer of these MOPARs produced, ompared to the Fords or Chevys back in the 60s. That makes this quick coupe a rare gem with an interesting story. Now all you have to do is stake your claim to it before someone else sees how affordable this Coronet coupe is. Call today!!
