Vehicle Description
This 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 Convertible has the right combination
of originality, performance, and attitude that makes mid-60s Mopars
so special. From the handsome styling, to the original 318 Poly V8,
this neat convertible is seldom-seen Dodge that delivers
performance and big car comfort in one sleek package.
This might have been the intermediate-sized car, but the styling
tells a different story. The new-for-1965 Coronet line took
advantage of a flat front with full-width grille, wide chrome
bumpers, and premium full-length trim that also highlights how
straight the sheet metal is on this example. The result is a
convertible that can own the road. Plus, detail lovers will enjoy
how this one is correct, right down to the badging. In fact, those
two Dodge logos up front setup a sheet metal crease that runs all
the way through the door line - proving that stylists really were
at the top of their game. Speaking of style, this one has its
factory-correct white paint and black roof setup. It looks quite
distinctive, but the newer set of black alloy wheels really sets
the whole package apart for an almost two-tone appearance.
With the flip of a switch, the powder folding top goes down to
reveal more of that great black and white appeal. You have bucket
seats up front for true comfort and plenty of room in the rear to
make this a cruiser everyone can enjoy. There's even an upgraded to
an AM/FM/CD stereo for the best driving tunes. The center console
is a Mopar work of art. The same goes for the factory steering
wheel and the big bright dash panel. The vertical lines in the dash
coordinate with the door panels tell you both about this car's
originality and how distinct Mopars are inside and out.
You'll love lifting the hood at cars shows. The bold red block will
fill you with pride every time you show it off, because you get to
tell everyone this is the original motor. But more than just a
fantastic presentation, it's a desirable 318 cubic-inch
"Polysphere" V8. Unrelated to the later 318 motor, this one evolved
from the Red Ram 241ci Hemi. Its calling card was torque, and the
Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor on this one only enhances that.
All this power helps make this an effortless cruising machine. Your
comfort factor is enhanced further by power steering, front disc
brakes, and the A727 Torqueflite three-speed automatic
transmission.
This is the vintage Dodge drop top that does it all. It has a great
appearance inside and out; it has a powerful and unique V8 under
the hood; and it's available right now at a great price. So you
know this is a great deal that won't stick around here for long.
