Description for Dodge Coronet 1965

Here is a freshly restored 1965 Dodge Coronet 500. This awesome street machine started as a rust-free example of how to do a restoration! This body of this car prior to restoration was rust-free and completely undamaged. Let’s face it… the best bondo man on the planet couldn’t get it this straight!

The body is laser-straight, nd the correct black paint looks like it is a mile-deep! I have only seen a handful of cars with paint quality this good. I typically try to shy away from black cars because of swirls and imperfections that show way too easily. However; this paint is (dare I say) flawless.

The correct black interior is just as nice as the exterior. The factory bucket seats are in excellent condition with no rips, ears or cracks. All the interior trim is in excellent shape, nd how about that console shifted 4-speed!

All the exterior trim from this one-year only body style is in perfect shape as well. This car really needs nothing!

Although not correct to the year; I added a set of Magnum 500 wheels and 60 series radial tires. I think these wheels really make the car pop!

The NOM 361 big block runs extremely strong with no hesitation, moke or misfiring. The 4-speed manual transmission shifts properly and smoothly with no issues either. As you can see below; this car started life as a 318 / automatic car. The current drivetrain came out of a 1966 Charger, nd really makes this Coronet a blast!

These mid-60’s Mopars are really hard to find… especially with a 4-speed on board, nd this is a good one!
