Vehicle Description
For 1965 only, Dodge sold 101 units of a modified wheelbase version
of the base Coronet two-door sedans and 440 hardtops specifically
for NHRA drag racing. The model known as A990 came with a racing
version of the 426 cu in Hemi engine. The car A990 was stripped of
all features and included lightweight base bucket seats from
Dodge's A100 truck/van line of vehicles. These altered wheelbase
vehicles eventually became popularly known as "funny cars" due to
their unique wheel spacing. The front and rear axles were moved
forward significantly from the stock location, putting the front
wheels directly behind the front fender, and the rear wheels almost
under where the rear seat would normally go; this alteration
transferred weight to the rear tires, increasing traction on
launch. From the popular term "funny cars" was born an entire genre
of racing vehicles, which exists to this day.
The middle of the Coronet line-up was the 440 and was available as
a two-door hardtop, convertible, or station wagon. The 440
designation did not indicate engine displacement as commonly
assumed (both then and now, which helped sales to an extent.
Coronets were manufactured at Chrysler's Los Angeles assembly plant
and at Lynch Road assembly plant in Detroit and ST. Louis plant in
Missouri. Engines offered for 1965 included the base 225 Slant-Six,
273, 318 (Polyhead), 361 (the last year for this big block engine
was 1966), 383, and 426 in multiple HP choices.
