Vehicle Description
Radiant paint and an awesomely coordinated color combo make this
restored 1966 Dodge Coronet 500 instantly attractive. But that
stance tells you there's something more going on here. So you may
want to skip ahead to all the photos and info on the 426 Hemi V8
with dual-four barrel carbs on top that makes this coupe a
street-eater, too.
The blue paint is an awesome way this one grabs your attention.
It's a vivid color is made even more attractive by the metallic
element that loves to pop in the sunlight. This glowing luster also
helps to showcase the outstanding design. The Coronet was restyled
in 1966 for added substance. It has a wide stance that can make
this intermediate look full-sized. There's plenty of style touches
like the creases along the side that flare out on the quarters, and
that cool taffy-pulled rear end that couldn't space out D-O-D-G-E
any wider if it tried. And the intimidation factor of the Coronet's
design is heightened further on this one with the lowered stance
and the aggressively staggered 18/20 inches front/rear Torq Thrust
wheels. Even with this intimidating style, there seems to be an
added sophistication to this one, too. It's in everything from the
shine of the chrome bumpers to the bright white vinyl roof.
For the same reason the white vinyl top looks so good against the
blue is why you're also going to love the pearl white interior.
There's a nice intricate pattern on the seats that's continued on
the doors that add a little more of that sophisticated style that
makes this one great. And vintage lovers will appreciate details,
like the AM radio that's still on display. But what makes this
Coronet great is that it offers plenty of space for everyone while
still focusing on the driver. Front bucket seats, an artful center
console, full gauge package, and auxiliary readouts all make this a
classic that's ready for the road.
One look under the hood, and you know the fender callouts weren't
lying. It's hard to find a more desirable Mopar that one with a 426
Hemi V8 so cleanly nestled in-between the fender wells. This was an
upgrade later in life, but the motor has the correct presentation,
right down to the double-bump air grabber that has the dual
four-barrel carburetors underneath. It's a mean V8, and this one
makes it known from the moment you twist the key. It fires up with
gusto as the big dual exhaust pipes go through a Flowmaster system.
The Torqueflite A727 three-speed automatic transmission is famous
for being stout enough for big power machines like this. Plus, you
have great anytime driving features, like power steering, power
brakes, front discs, and grippy ZR-rated tires.
This is a terrific hardtop with a well-crafted look, right down to
the pained undercarriage. So when you want a serious power Hemi
Mopar classic, you know you're looking at a true stunner. Call
