1967 Coronet 440, purchased from the original owner in 1986. Originally a 318 poly, it was converted to a 67 440 motor and 727 transmission 11 years ago. The 440 has been rebuilt and has a forged crank and pistons. It has 915 closed chamber heads as well as a mild hydraulic camshaft and dual plane intake. Trans has been rebuilt with a shift kit at the same time and a mild 2200 stall converter installed. Excellent running, smooth combination excellent for cruising.
Behind the transmission is a custom Dynotech Engineering 3" alum driveshaft, spinning a set of 3.23 gears and factory sure grip unit. Exhaust consists of hooker headers and TTI exhaust system exiting GTX exhaust tips in stainless 2.5".
Suspension is full XV Motorsports level I kit. This includes 1.12 torsion bars, custom alum shocks, f & r sway bars, adjustable strut rods and special leaf springs and urethane bushings. It also has a firm feel stage III steering box, which adds greatly to the feel. The car corners like its on rails despite the 15" wheel and tire combination. It is a true sleeper. Nobody expects flat cornering from a car that looks like this..It also has front disc brakes, rear drums with a dual diaphragm booster and a vacuum reserve can. Braking is solid and the system has all new lines and hoses.
The body was original when purchased. The pass side quarter was replaced, but the driver side was patched. All other metal is original to the car. None of the floors had to be replaced. The car was painted 7 years ago and still looks excellent. There are some very small bubbles at the bottom of the drivers quarter, front fender and trunk lid lip. Bumpers were redone, all lenses in nice condition too.
All glass except for the windshield is original and in nice condition. Both window gaskets, roof rail and door weatherstrips were changed along the the belt line weatherstrips and door lock seals. All stainless trim is real nice and straight. Sail panel trim could use rechroming but is not damaged in any way.
The interior was redone with new seat covers, carpet and headliner over the last 5 years and looks excellent. The speedometer was replaced with a 150 mph unit as well. Orig radio is in place but does not work. Auxilliary guages have been added as the pictures show. The original guage work also. Heat works properly.
This is a very solid and complete car that is ultra reliable and performs excellent. There are other parts like a 3.91 sure grip rear, new grille trim and new repro dash bezels that could negotiated should the car reach its reserve.
Please do not email me looking for the reserve, This is a serious car being sold at a fair price from a private owner.$10,000 FIRM.
