OK...Here's something you don't see everyday! 1953 Dodge Coronet V8 Hemi in its original condition! This is the time when they really made cars. The previous owner spent a small fortune on this car. This Coronet is mostly original and has its factory V8 Hemi engine and Gyro-Matic transmission. It is a 12V conversion. It does have Aftermarket Vintage A/C added that is ice cold. Also an elaborate sound system was installed that has several power amps and (4) 6X9 speakers mounted in the package tray as well as a double bass speaker in the trunk. This system is missing some power cables and we cant verify if it works properly. We found 2 significant receipts from the previous owner in the glove box. One for complete dual exhaust 2008 $711.00, and one for engine rebuild 2006 $1292.00. These will go with the car for future reference. Master cylinder is new as are some brake lines, but the clutch pedal will need proper adjusting as it shares a pivot pin with the Master Cylinder. All linkages and springs are complete, but proper adjustment is required.Paint looks somewhat newer, and does shine nicely, but is blistering on some lower areas. Some fading also see on deck lid and a little on roof. Roof has a round peeling area(maybe 8-10 inches?) that has been touched up. Car still makes a stunning appearance. Chrome looks great. Some floor pan work was done, then undercoated, but the undercoat is peeling. Really solid frame. Tires are super cool big white walls with great thread, but they are old and cracking. They might look great, but i don't think they will be safe long term. Air will seep out when they sit, so lets plan on some rubber. Engine does not leak, but it is a chore getting it started so please plan on trailering this home.Unfortunately, its been off the road a number of years and will need some work to make it a driver. The car will start if you tinker with it, but will run poorly. We suspect old gas so are not forcing the issue. The tank looks solid and does have a drain plug. This is a pretty easy project that will be worth a fortune. A true solid investment with original HEMI drivetrain. We simply don't have the time and need shop space. No nonsense auction. Highest bidder wins...Period. Good luck!
