Vehicle Detail

66 Coronet 440 Convertible! This is a GREAT CAR that is a dream to drive. Ready to drive desert car that will be enjoyed for the summer...investment quality. These early MOPARs have not dropped in value and this one is ready to hit the 50 year mark in exceptional condition. Enjoy it and pass it down to your children or enjoy it for a while and pass it on to a new buyer. This car will continue to go up in value while enjoy driving and showing off your beautiful convertible. You cannot lose on this car. Overall: New Top installed!!!...beautiful and functions perfectly. You are bidding on a low mileage, rust free 1966 Coronet 440 Convertible survivor that has been stored inside and is in excellent overall condition with 77,000 actual miles. This car has undergone a restoration to make sure it is a safe and beautiful collector car. Mechanically it is like new and cosmetically it looks and shines beautifully. This car would do well in any car show and brings compliments everywhere it is driven. This car spent its life in the dry deserts of Texas and Oklahoma until it was purchased by a collector where it was properly stored indoors and covered. Rust free desert car with solid floors, doors, hinges, etc. All body lines are straight. Doors, trunk, and hood line up correctly and close solidly. This is one of the most solid cars I have seen and does not appear or handle like a 50 year old car. It is a dream to drive and always receives compliments! New power steering works excellent with no leaks. New brakes work solidly and car stops straight. Tires have no cracks or leaks. All glass is clear and crack/chip free. Every option works. Includes an original 1966 owner’s manual…not a reprint. Driveline: Numbers Matching 318 “Polysphere” Cubic Inch Engine and Automatic 3-Speed Transmission. The original 318 cubic inch V-8 Polysphere factory engine starts easy, runs strong, and does not make any abnormal sounds or smoke. These engines are notorious for their strength and longevity and this one is no exception. In truth, it runs very QUIET, idles SMOOTH, and accelerates STRONG…this car is a dream to drive. Brand new correct carburetor. Pertronix hidden electronic ignition. Brand new Energizer 27F battery. The automatic transmission shifts into and out of gears easily and shifts between gears solidly. Exhaust system is quiet and solid with chrome tip. Engine bay is clean and freshly detailed as pictures show...even small items like the battery tray hold down were replaced during restoration! Suspension/Brakes: New Steering components including pump, steering gear, and all linkages such as tie rod ends, center link etc. New brake including all wheel cylinders, hoses, etc. New gas tank, sending unit, lines, etc. Interior: The instrument panel is 100% functional and original. The gauges were cleaned and the indicator pointers were repainted orange to brighten them up. Dash is clean, soft, and has no cracks. Door panels are nice with no cracks or tears as pictures show. Remote operated rear-view mirror. Floor Pans are clean and solid as picture shows. New foil sound deadening underlayment under new carpet as seen in pictures. Newly upholstered seats with high grade material. This modern upholstery was custom made and feels much softer and wears much longer than typical on-line factory replacements. They are beautiful and look correct while feeling much more luxurious than typically sold by restoration shops. The trunk is solid as shown in pictures and very clean with correct size spare, original jack, original wood tire cover insert, and new floor mat. Exterior: The paint is newer within the last few years and shines beautifully. Original color was blue but this car looks much better in red and color change was done professionally with no overspray. (i.e. door jams painted, door hinges color matched, trunk and hood hardware and hinges masked, trim removed, strike plates masked, etc.) The convertible top works correctly and opens/closes smoothly with dash mounted switch. The hydraulics are smooth running with no leaks or seepage from their new seals. The original convertible top rear window is discolored and torn. A new complete top including window, rail pads, staples, instructions,etc. still in the box from “theconvertibletopguys” is provided. The car sale also includes a correctly fitted, high quality, soft, car cover. Contact me with any questions and Happy Bidding!
