1966 Dodge Coronet Convertible

Description

There's just something about a classic Mopar that makes you pay attention. You know there were fewer of these made compared to the Fords or Chevys back in the 60s. So when you see something as rare as this 1966 Dodge Coronet convertible, you just want to know more. And since this has a 440 V8 and four-on-the-floor, it has your muscle car senses revving.

Dodge really got the design right in '66. This classic has a wide stance that can make this intermediate look full-sized. There's plenty of style touches like the creases along the side that flare out on the quarters, and that cool taffy-pulled rear end that couldn't space out D-O-D-G-E any wider if it tried. So it looks muscular, especially when finished in red. This one impresses with details like the wide chrome bumpers, complete badging, and good body lines. Plus, the Coronet 500 has extra trim on the rear fenders that gives this a hit of an aggressive style. And the sporty feeling continues on the large dual exhaust tips and Mopar road wheels.

The black convertible top looks attractive against the red body, and so it's great to see the same color combo when you take it down. This full black interior has an attractive and detailed style. Plus, you can see there's plenty of room to bring everyone along for the ride. There's room for improvement, including if you want to add a stereo or the components to return the air conditioning. It's all part of how the value price leaves room in your budget for whatever way you want to personalize this drop-top. But what we love is how you get a driver's classic from day one. After all, front bucket seats, a center console, floor shifter, and a three-spoke steering wheel are all going to speak to your enthusiast's soul.

Under the hood is the mighty Magnum powerhouse. We all love Mopar's big 440 cubic-inch V8, and so you'll happily lift the hood and show off that air grabber. It inhales deeply with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and the motor end exhales with a sweet tune out of the dual exhaust. There's plenty of power in this strong-running motor, and you get to fully harness it with the control of the four-speed manual transmission. And the power steering, front disc brakes, and wide Cooper Cobra tires make for an all-around solid driver.

If you love a great drop-top, it will be hard to get more classic American metal or classic American muscle for the money. Call today!!!
