Vehicle Description
Zoom Classic Cars offers this classic 1966 Dodge Coronet 500 -
period correct and an amazing example of mid 60's Class and muscle.
This car underwent extensive work in the past and completed
approximately 14 years ago with limited usage since. The Cornet 500
was the top of the line offering for the Coronet series and this
one with a period correct (1968 year) 383CI/335 HP powerhouse. This
run of 5th generation (1965-1970) Coronets have certainly held a
position in the highly desirable category and the "500" (383Ci)
with a modest price point as compared to its 440/RT/GTX brothers.
This car certainly flexes its muscle while showing off its classic
burgundy exterior (paint code correct) with rear stripe against the
shine of the Magnum wheels wrapped with redline tires. Interior
shows just as well in preserved fashion including excellent
headliner, seats and door panels and dash presentation all with the
classic desirable bucket/console layout. Factory this car was a
383Ci (5th VIN "G") and currently presents a period correct
drivetrain, 383Ci HP (High Perf/335HP) engine feeding the stout 727
3/speed automatic through to the rear differential with all
receiving full overhaul in the past. This car retains its factory
air conditioning system, power steering and manual braking with an
upgrade to include front disc conversion for improved braking
performance. Overall, this Coronet 500 shows 109k (believed to be
accurate) total miles to date with only 3k miles in the past 8yrs
under its current owner. This car shows very well for its age, it
is a really nice driver with typical imperfections after years of
caring ownership since restoration. For review notables, there is a
small amount of paint pop in several lower/very bottom panels (see
pictures) but overall, this car is in very good condition exterior
wise. Mechanically this car is ready to go, the engine runs great,
the car drives great, the A/C is fully intact but nonfunctioning at
this time. The factory radio is intact but currently inoperable.
This 56-year-old classic is ready to put a smile on a new owner's
face, just turn the key and you'll be smiling (listen to the
videos). Grab this car and get on the road quickly, enjoy yourself
driving a priceless piece of Classic Dodge history that certainly
turns heads and thumbs up at every corner. This vehicle is located
in Northern, NJ. Call Scott at: (201) 483-0388.
