Vehicle Description
This 1965 Dodge Coronet 440 has the right combination of
originality, investments, and attitude that makes mid-60s Mopars so
special. From the handsome styling, to the unique interior, to the
383 V8, this neat hardtop is a seldom-seen Dodge that delivers
performance and big car comfort in one sleek package.
This car is the product of a full restoration that was completed in
2018, and so that's why everything looks so fresh and crisp. The
paint is especially noteworthy. Not only was there a professional
application of the slick black, but also there was an investment in
a Ceramic Pro coating only a few months ago. It means you have an
outstanding and durable finish that's still under warranty through
2025! This added luster is ideal for taking out in the sunshine,
because the bright light loves to show off how evenly it rolls
across this coupe's super-straight panels. Just as crucial to
highlighting this Mopar is the brightwork, and so it received the
right attention during the restoration. The bright features against
the black help showcase the extra-wide front end, angular hardtop,
and the trim that runs the full length of this coupe. And the
upgraded 15-inch Torq Thrust wheels have an extra meaty set in the
rear to hint at some nice power.
That red accent within the exterior trim not only looks bold, but
also it's a preview of the full interior. This is tastefully done
with a multi-tone red done in the classic-style pattern. And the
full restoration means this vintage atmosphere also has a fresh
feeling on everything from the textured upholstery to the plush
carpeting. Because this wants to keep the classic feeling while
still being quite fun, the upgrades are done with a careful eye.
The cup holder center console is in a red that coordinates with the
seating, there are cleanly-mounted auxiliary gauges, and a
retro-style radio gives you a modern digital tuner with aux
input.
This was built at the dawn of the muscle car era, and this one
celebrates it correctly. 1965 was the first year the 383 cubic-inch
big block V8 was offered in the Coronet, and so we're happy to see
one in this coupe. The exceptionally clean engine bay is proof that
plenty of the restoration budget was spent here. And there's only
been about 1,000 miles on it to break in the motor since it was
rebuilt. Bright Mopar Performance valve covers, new hoses, an
aluminum radiator, and much more give this one style and substance
under the hood. The big V8 fires up readily and runs great. The
performance cam makes sure to add some extra muscle on the streets
and some extra growl to the dual exhaust. The Torqueflite A727
three-speed transmission was rebuilt at the same time as the motor,
and it even include a shift kit. So it's a setup that knows how to
handle the power, and at the same time, deliver easy automatic
shifting. Out on the road, the power steering and power brakes
w/discs up front mean there's plenty of comfort, too.
Sleek, powerful, and distinct - this Coronet knows how to turn
heads for all the right reasons. Call today!!!
