eager to cruise Route 66 in a '66 car, MotoeXotica Classic Cars is
proud to present this 1966 Dodge Coronet 500 two-door hardtop pro
street that has undergone an extensive nut and bolt restoration. It
was built on June 21, 1966, just west of our shop at the former
Fenton Chrysler assembly plant. It left the factory with the
following options: Music Master AM radio, center console and front
bucket seats. This was also originally an expedited/sold vehicle,
meaning someone ordered it. Finished in Turbine Bronze, the car's
paint and trim are in overall excellent shape. Its tinted windows
are crack-free and look great. The car's lights are in overall very
good order, included the H2 headlights with relays and LED parking
lights complete with dimmer switch. This Coronet rides on Magnum
500 wheels, 7x15 in front with special-built rear wheels, 8x15.5,
surrounded by BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, 245/60R15 in front and
275/60R15 in back. All of this Mopar's body panels are in straight
and solid, including the bumpers, the engine bay is extremely tidy
and the battery appears new. Underneath the hood is a non matching
Summit Racing 408 CID Stroker V-8 engine mated to a Mopar 833
four-speed manual transmission and backed by a Dana 8-3/4 Powr-Lok
3.23 rear end. The engine's and transmission's specifications are
listed above. Driver convenience features include air-conditioning,
power steering and power brakes. Inside, the car's new original
style interior has been upgraded in places. The original front
bucket and rear vinyl bench seats are in excellent condition. The
matching black carpet is in similar order, as is the headliner. The
courtesy lights flash on when the driver's door opens. The padded
instrument panel, with its full instrumentation, looks fantastic.
Below the dash are three aftermarket gauges for engine coolant, oil
pressure and ammeter. Facing the driver is a Flaming River polished
tilt steering column with Tuff Wheel three-spoke steering wheel.
The interior conversation piece is the Hurst pistol grip shift
handle. The inner door panels are in very good order and there's a
mechanical control for the sideview mirror. The mirror glass and
center console with dual cupholders are in very good order.
Cool-Tec matting has been used throughout the interior. For a bit
of whimsy, the door lock plungers are topped with black dice.
Completing the interior is the original AM radio with a modern
AM/FM CD mounted out-of-sight with a remote control. This car was
restored by the Old Schoolman Builder of head-turning Mopars and
muscle cars and has received multiple invitations to the best of
the best shows; i.e. Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals in Chicago;
Monster Mopar at Gateway, Illinois; Cobblestone Nationals; and won
trophies in St. Louis and Midwest. Trophies include First, Second
and Third place for: Best in Class Best in Paint Best Interior Best
