Welcome Pizmo!
We did a father and son project once. But I only have one son
Turned out really great and we will always have the bonding from working on that car together. Good luck!

Just saw this and wanted to say hi neighbor. There are a few of us in Puyallup with 65 Coronets if you have any questions or want to see one more complete. We also have a Tacoma chapter of Mopar Unlimited if we ever meet in person again or have our car show in Graham.
Welcome from Iowa. I am on this site a minimum of once a day and everyday I am amazed at the knowledge and the talent of the people here!

I was reading your comments to the father and son project. Say I have been looking for over 50 years for my first car I bought in high school it was 1965 Dodge
Coronet 500. Red with a black vinyl top. Impossible to find. I had to sell the car I was drafted in the Army right out of High school. Went to Vietnam like everyone else. Came home and always been looking for one. Never did find one. This week I found a 1965 Coronet but it was a 440 sad the guy told me it was a 500.
Well drive 3 hours to take a look at it, the car was nice. I still have questions about the difference between the 440 to the 500, can you tell me the difference??
I would really like to have my dream car back but I think it is a lost cause. I will let you reply back to me. If you want to email me that would be great.

Difference is the trim and rear taillights. The 500 also had bucket seats and center console. Don’t know if that was optional on the 440. I actually like the 440 side trim really well. Others probably know better about the options.

Thanks for the info.
the 500 that I had in high school had 383 4 speed bucket seats.
Sure miss her now.
Anyone out there reading this, are there books out there to show or tell where the body parts go like trim.
I just bought this car 2 days ago and I'm scared about putting it back together.

Scott, you have a car in the picture like the one I just bought. Are there books or any kind of info on putting this car together??
I have seen service manuals on line

John, if you haven’t already, you should start your own welcome or build thread. That way you don’t get lost here in pizmo’s and not taking it over. You can post some pics to. People here are very helpful.
