Vehicle Description
The Maxmotive Pittsburgh showroom presents this 1955 Dodge Coronet
Custom with a 331 Hemi beneath the bonnet. A complete frame-off
restoration was performed and a Fat Man subframe with stainless
upper and lower control arms installed. More modern upgrades
include power rack and pinion steering and power front disc brakes
so the driveability keeps up with the massive Hemi power. The body
was stripped to bare metal and the time and effort was taken to get
it just right before the application of mirror-like PPG
basecoat/clearcoat black exterior paint. To further highlight the
paint, the bumpers and all the trim were re-chromed. With the
chrome Ridler wheels, the effect is striking. Air Ride Technologies
suspension front and rear allows you to drop it low for shows.
Those glorious valve covers with "Chrysler FirePower" stamped on
them will quicken the pulse of any performance enthusiast or
historian. And that's before you fire it up. When you do, the big
motor speaks with authority, just in case every head hasn't turned
when you arrived at the show. It's fed through an Edelbrock carb on
an aggressive Hot Heads aluminum intake. It looks great underneath
the custom air cleaner. A complete MSD ignition system - including
the distributor - gets everything started. In true hot rodding
tradition, the transmission and rear end are the best from the
"other" manufacturers. A Turbo 350 automatic and Ford 9-inch
limited slip rear make up a worthy driveline team for the Hemi.
Sabatini Coachworks in Nazareth PA (the home of Mario Andretti by
the way) stitched up a phenomenal custom red Ultra-leather and
suede interior with bucket seats. Prepare for war with the unique
morningstar shifter. A modern but classic-style 3-spoke steering
wheel feels and looks great. The modern/classic theme continues
with the gauges, all of which are Auto Meter except for the
original speedometer. You'll also notice the tasteful hand-applied
pinstriping by Coopstriping. This 1955 Dodge Coronet Custom is a
complete, slammed in the dirt Hemi hot rod with a brand and period
correct power plant, foot-deep black paint, plus modern
driveability and sound system. And it's available for you now at
Maxmotive. ********** DISCLAIMER MAXmotive specializes in
