While theindividual tenants of american performance could be found in earlier cars, dodge took it to a new level in the mid60s putting them all together in one sinister package equally capable of a quarter-mile blast or a comfortable tripto the grocery store. This 1966 complete restoration is a detailed impressive example of an extensive frame-offrestoration. This clean car is owned by an avid car collector and sits in his climate controlled storage with hisother great american classics. Sinister, tough, and attractive, this coronet perfectly defines mopar’s lasting legacy of creating sophisticationwith raw aggression. The front of the car is dominated by trademark, stainless-trimmed grilles that are anchoredbetween double headlights, a pristine, chrome-finish front bumper. At the sides of that broad hood, the start ofthe chiseled sidelines begin as the fenders hang dent-free wheel trim and arrow-straight rocker guards. On theoutside of those fenders, a custom 451 emblem hangs hinting at the jewel under the hood to create visual sizzlethat matches the car's visceral thrill. Above those crests, soft ray glass combines with brand new stainless and acorrect chrome mirror to highlight the car's super clean profile. And behind that glass, a second chrome bumperhangs small reverse lamps below a finned valence. Lift the hood to find the coronet powered in the form of a big block 451 v8. Originally leaving the factory with asmall block v8, the owner opted to go for the potent big block setup. The carb linkage swivels like it's lined withsilk, and the engine pulls the coronet with real authority. Correct mopar valve covers and air cleaners definitely add some sparkle. Underneath the coronet is just as impressive as the rest of the build. The stout 451 sends power to an automatictransmission that then send the power to the ground. Spent gasses travel out the rock solid drive train throughtrue dual exhausts that exit out the just below the rear of the car to create a fantastic american muscle sound. Atthe sides of that booming soundtrack, a professionally restored suspension is complete with power steering and bigdisc/drum brakes. At the corners of that suspension, a set or 17” cragar rims wrapped in sport tires. On the floor, newer carpet, along with floor mats. At the sidesof the car, nice door panels hang chrome handles. In front of the driver, a steering wheel spins a wood rim arounda chrome horn button. This pristine, 1966 coronet is a fantastically restored showpiece that packs unbeatable performance in a highlydesirable wrapper. It's the kind of car that'll be a pleasure to own for years to come.
