Nothing beats spending your summer nights & weekend behind the
wheel of a classic muscle car. Once again another beautiful muscle
car rolls into the Custom Classics show room, just in time for the
cool summer & fall nights. We're past the high heat evenings and
it's time for some cool cruising. We all know all too well what it
costs to restore and build a muscle car and for some, the stress of
writing large checks throughout that build. Fortunately for you,
someone else has already done the legwork. Presented here now are
the fruits of their toil and trouble for your own personal
enjoyment way cheaper than it cost them to build it.
This stunning 1965 Dodge Coronet Convertible was built a few years
ago but still looks every bit as good as it did when first
completed. This car was completely taken down and was the recipient
of a rotisserie restoration. As you peer through all of our
pictures you'll find nothing was left untouched, from top to the
underside, and even inside the body shell, you'll find glossy
Medium Blue Metalic paint. Peak your head up under the dash to
check the neatness of wiring and the glossy paint on the inside
firewall and you'll see the fruit of hours of labor and dedication
to really make things nice under there.
EXTERIOR:
From the front to the back, you'll find nothing but straight body
panels and beautiful chrome and stainless trim. Starting at the
front end looking into its grill, every bit of the car is darn near
perfect, try to find one of those grills in that condition! The
front chrome bumper is lined up nicely to the grill and shows
beautiful. Looking across the hood and onto the iconic styling of
the hood scoop, the bodywork is stunning, both on the hood and down
the sides of this Coronet. Coming around back of the car you'll
find the same great looking chrome work on the tailing bezels and
the rear bumper. Someone obviously spent some time on the front and
rear stainless steel trim that wraps around the windshield and
across the back of the convertible top as everything is top-notch
quality here! Open the trunk and you find solid trunk floors and
correct looking splatter paint along with some nicely gloss painted
wheel wells, and finished off with a full trunk mat and a rear
mounted battery. Standing back and giving the car the once over,
everything was well thought out, even down to finishing off the
exterior of this car with steel wheel, poor-boy hubcaps, and radial
tires, securing an aggressive overall look for this car.
INTERIOR:
The top here was installed well and pulls up tight when closed and
sits down in the well as it should when down. The interior shows
well with new carpeting and seats that have also been re-covered by
a professional who knows how to stretch seat covers - they really
look great. To keep the look of its time, the temp, oil, and amp
gauges have been hidden inside the glove box with nothing left
under the dash but the tachometer for quick glances. The door
panels and rear interior trim panels show very well and are just as
pristine as the rest of this car.
UNDERSIDE:
As you raise this fully-sorted Dodge up on the lift and take a look
around its undercarriage, that's you can really appreciate all the
tell-tale signs of a lot of blood, sweat, and money spent on this
car. The floor boards shine as much as the top side and are about
as detailed as the top as well. Running across the floorboards on
the underside is the 3" exhaust system that plays that glorious
low-rumbling V8 tune we have all come to love and crave. Everything
from the front suspension to the rear has been restored and
detailed, making this one a perfect candidate for the show field.
No disappointments here!
ENGINE BAY:
Under that hood scoop on the hood you'll find more medium blue
metallic glossy paint, and a very healthy built 440, with cross-ram
intake and DUAL 660 Edelbrock carbs - it really doesn't get more
nostalgic and cooler than that. The perfect inner fender wells pay
compliments to the jet-hot coated heads that seem to finish off the
engine bay with a touch of muscle car class.
How often do you find this much detailed, nostalgic muscle packed
into a convertible without costing over six figures? Let us help
you out... not that often! That just isn't an easy thing to find
these days, especially one professionally finished with the
high-quality fit and finish work one would expect with a six figure
price tag. No worries though, this Dodge is priced well for the
market and any buyer would be absolutely floored to park this one
in their garage. Don't lose out on this one to...
