1966 Dodge Coronet 440 Hardtop 2-Door 7.0L

Description for Dodge Coronet 1966

Up for auction is this ultra cool piece of muscle car history. This 1966 Dodge Coronet is the real deal. In the mid 60's Dodge reused the coronet name that was laid to rest in 1959. A brand new mid size car was built on a 117" wheel base. The body styling was typical of the day from Detroit. A simple boxy look with a super identifying grill.

In 1966 the Coronet got a total make over. The sleeker look to the body and Fastback look soon became popular. Many drag racers and street racers became very familiar with that fast back roof and the new styled tail lights as the Coronet moved away from them. The Hemi Coronet would do 0-60 mph in 6.1 seconds and run a quarter mile in 14.5 seconds in street dress.

This 1966 Dodge Coronet is equipped with a 426 Hemi, wo 4 barrels and a Torquelite automatic transmission. This Dodge Coronet has only 61,739 original miles! Only 96, 966 Dodge Coronets hardtops were built with a Hemi and this transmission. The white paint and black interior make it look good and is very desirable. The car comes with a nice pedigree. The car has the order sheet and the window sticker. The car was featured in a muscle car magazine. All of this paperwork is in the photos.

The body is an older restoration with some nicks and scratches. But by no means is it in poor shape. The bottom of the car has never been restored. It has dealer undercoating.

The seats have been reupholstered in factory covers and pads. Brand new red line radials have never hit the street.
