Hi all. Live in Sonora Ca. and my wife and I just picked up a 1965 Dodge Coronet 440. Needs some work and I will be asking questions as I am new to Dodge. Been an auto mechanic all my life but will need some tips now and then. Looking forward to the forum.

Greetings and welcome aboard from NY. Post some pics of that '65 Coronet when you get the chance. Your experience as a mechanic can be a great contribution to the site if you choose to do so as well.

:thumbsup: Early "B's" ! My favorite 65 Dodge Coronet is one I have wanted but for some reason Plymouth's always came my way.
5 of them over the years. This is a good place to be.Many good knowledgeable people here that are eager to help.

Welcome to FBBO from Ontario...The other one with snow. Good luck with your '65 Coronet project. These cars (and '65 Belvederes) were never marketed in Canada, so are relatively rare up here.

Welcome from Massachusetts GDD443, I am new to the World of Mopar too.

I picked up a 71 Super Bee 383 4 speed car and currently restoring it but going to run a 426 Hemi a friend offered to me since the original 383 is long gone.

This has been a great forum with knowledgeable and professional lovers of the Mopars, you will be happy you signed up to FBBO!!!

As you learn to navigate FBBO, you will discover how excellent this site really is!!!

In addition to the Super bee I have a 75 Hurst Olds in process and completed a resurrection of a 72 442 W-30 4 speed in 2009, to include every nut and bolt.

I am doing the same level of quality on the Super Bee, it will be every bit as well done as my Oldsmobile's!!!!

Sincerely,
Jim
