1965 Dodge Coronet

[easymotorsports]

Finishing up my 65 Dodge Coronet. This is an old race car out of Wilkesboro, NC. run by Rhoades Brothers Racing (Franky & Ronnie). I had asked them for years to sell & finally got the chance! It’s probably 95% drag car & 5% street, but a 110% fun & fast! Just got done with the A990 grill, 25 hrs & a case of Mountain Dew later. It’s got all the good stuff; 446 (14.1) Roller motor built by Bud Crowe, Built 727 with reverse valve body, custom driveshaft & Dana 60 with 4.56 gears & spool. Two Optima batteries in trunk & 5 gallons of 112. Line Lok, Torque Thrust fronts & 15x8 steels on back with Hoosier 30x9.00 R15 Radial Slicks. 6.42 in 1/8, 9.98 in 1/4.

Welcome from a fellow 65 Coronet owner. If you want to race for pink slips - I'll drive yours! Nice ride, sir.
