For Sale: 1966 Dodge Coronet 440 2-Door 383 4-Barrel Automatic

-99% rust free car from CA/OR

-Originally silver with a black vinyl top and black bench seat interior

-383 4-barrel .040 over, smooth and fast. I think the engine is a '68 casting with 906 heads.

-727 TF shifts good and has been rebuilt at some point.

-Manual drum brakes converted to dual reservoir and all hoses, wheel cylinders, etc replaced/rebuilt.

-Heavy duty cooling with original "HEMI" radiator and viscous fan.

-Power steering

-Exhaust manifolds blasted, surfaced and painted with VHT

-Certicard and fender tag present. Front bumper still has Shasta insect inspection stickers.

-New Interior: Seat frames blasted and painted, new foam/burlap/wire/muslin, new Legendary covers, seat tracks blasted and painted, six sets of new seat belts, new carpet, new sill plates, new package tray/jute, new rear seat divider/jute, windows functions awesome. Some new weather stripping, some still requires replacement. I was waiting to install the headliner when the front/rear glass is removed for paint. Also new dash pad, cluster PCB, repainted gauge needles, rebuilt heater box with DMT kit, new heater core, under dash shoddy pad, kick panel insulation, glove box liner, etc. This car would be a very nice driver with a relatively inexpensive paint job and minor trim restoration.

-New OEM style exhaust system

-New vinyl top comes with car

-Gas tank removed and boiled at radiator shop, rebuilt sending unit (accurate unlike reproductions), new filler neck rubber/correct clamps, grommets, etc. Very important for 66-67 b-body Mopars and often overlooked or replaced with coolant hose which is incorrect and dangerous.

I am sure there are quite a few things I am missing. I have all receipts for parts and a clear title in my name.

Here is a link to the car's resurrection to it's current running, driving reliable state:

I am asking $7500 or any reasonable offer. I will put the car on jack stands and get more pictures once my Charger project is out of the way. I have driven this car on several 200+ miles trips without incident.

Willing to trade for nice roller 66-67 b-body race car...didn't want to cut up either of my cars for the 511 tunnel ram engine.
 
Decided to sell it huh? I'd love to have it but i've already got 2 '66's myself. Good luck with the sale.
 
Didn't this car have a blue steering column and wheel when you got it?
 
Hey there, long time no "see". I hate to sell it after all of the work we did but we have four buildings full of cars and something has to go. I'm going to a big show this weekend so most likely the car will sell.

You are correct on the steering column. I bought the correct steering column, wheel, etc and fixed them up during the interior restoration.

If you look at the first and last page of the thread linked in the first post you will see the old column and the new.

I considered building a race car out of this one (one of 1664) or my 1966 red/red 383 4-speed Charger but hacking up either floor for the Lenco is something I cannot bring myself to go through with. I even had the interior in the Charger stripped, floor marked and sawzall in hand at one point. Chickened out!
 
Reminder .. all negotiation are to be via PM.

Let's keep it that way please

Good luck with the sale Jeramiah. I'm a little sad you're selling but good luck anyway

Don't be too sad yet! I was holding the car until noon today and the buyer never showed up. I tried to call and get sent to voice mail every time.

Car back up for sale! For any prospective buyers please be serious.

Wow man, that stinks...man...hopefully he will contact you, I am guessing he was a local buyer?
Well, as a last last resort, you have me at the bottom of the barrell, waiting patiently for my savings to grow lol, you never know stranger things have happened, so if you still have it by next June 2015 I will hit you up lol...I know, I am grasping at straws for now:)

I'm about ready to drop it off so I can pick up the race car we have been after. I really appreciate your enthusiasm for this car if you were closer I'd loan it to you and the family for a weekend. I really need a place to put my 511" MW tunnel ram motor otherwise it would be getting prepped for paint.
 
Bump for my Bud Jeremiah, someone buy this car already and put me out of my misery!! I can't believe nobody has snagged this gem up!
 
This a cool car and has the patina that's popular these days in spades .. advertise it far and wide Jeremiah :)
 
Maybe it's just awaitin for you to gather enough cash. :thumbsup:
I can only hope he still has it once I get the money together lol...I have been selling anything I can sell to put more into my savings,and I still am not even close!
 
You guys are funny. I really do appreciate the enthusiasm for this car. I'm trying to figure out a place to put in medium-long term storage to end this saga for a while. We are only advertising the car local because I want the buyer to see the car. I am never very comfortable with long distance buyers because they usually have no idea what they are looking at.
 
Well, if you still have it when I am ready, I will come up to see it, it would be a nice get away weekend for me and the wife!
