Vehicle Description
Sure, you can love this 1965 Dodge Coronet hardtop because it's
highly original right down to the paint and the AM radio. But
really it's the thundering Street Wedge 426 V8 under the hood that
makes this classic coupe such an irresistible buy.
The bright red paint looks quite nice, but when you find out it's
original to the car, your jaw will hit the floor. Sure there are
some signs of usage and repair, but we would all hope to look this
good over half a century later. The bright color also does a great
job of highlighting Chrysler's famous cantilever styling. The
bumpers shine so bright they appear new, and the rest of the
brightwork is present and looking nice. The full package makes
people take notice of the extra-wide front end, angular hardtop,
and trim that runs the full length of this coupe. It's a time
capsule of a presentation that feels authentic right down to the
factory hubcaps.
More of this survivor-grade feeling comes the moment you open the
door. That red and black weave in the cloth bench is believed to be
original, which tells you how well someone has cared for this
coupe. In fact, the door panels, headliner, and trim are all just
as nicely presented. We believe the carpets are new, which is
something most classic car people are quite happy to see, even on a
time capsule like this one. The factory steering wheel and big
bright dash panel are true Mopar works of art. This holds
everything from the extra wide speedometer, to the added oil
pressure gauge, to the original AM radio that's still cranking out
tunes.
The survivor appearance extends under the hood, too. But more than
jut preservation, people will be marveling at the 426 cubic-inch
Street Wedge V8 under the hood. So while the bright air cleaner and
valve covers are nice for flash, you'll love how it is so well
detailed right down to the correct Mopar and Ramcharger stickers.
Even better is this motor is correctly date coded to possibly be
installed in 1965. The four-barrel carburetor even appears to be
the original Carter unit! You'll love the thunderous roar of the
dual exhaust, but this car is built for so much more. It's a true
muscle machine, so the big V8 is matched with a stout A727
Torqueflite three-speed automatic that feeds the Sure-Grip rear end
running 3.23 gears.
Complete with owner's manual, you're looking at a survivor-grade
coupe with a thunderous heart. So don't do a double-take on the
price, because after all, something this desirable will be leaving
us quickly. Call today!!!
