1956 Dodge Coronet Lancer on 2040-cars

Springfield, Oregon, United States

Here's a car you don't see too often...  a 1956 Dodge Coronet Lancer, 2-dr H/T.  It is almost complete, but still a project.  Here is the description:

BODY:  very straight, some patches of surface rust here and there.  There is a small area under each tail light unit with some holes, as shown in close-up.  All the trim is there, with the exception of the LANCER script on each front fender, and the DODGE script on hood.  Some other trim pieces that don't  appear in photos  are in the trunk.  The antenna is gone, though.  This is a really solid car, in it's original gold & white 2-tone colors.  One tail light needs a red lens - it has 2 clear ones.

Chrome on front grill pieces is excellent.  Bumpers are straight but OK, and need re-chromed.

GLASS:  Driver's side window is cracked, and windshield has some delaminating going on one side (see close-up)

ENGINE:  This V8 Red Ram is a 315 ci poly motor.  It came from a '56 Dodge Royal donor car - it ran great when it was installed 3 years ago.  Still needs linkage hooked up. Radiator has been rebuilt.  I'm not sure about tranny, but the donor cars was a driver, so I'm sure it is OK.

TIRES:  they hold air - that's about it.

INTERIOR:  It needs totally redone. The original seat covers are still on seats.  Door panels are good for patterns only.  All door handles & window cranks are in a box.  Dash looks pretty good too.  I have 3 complete extra dashes, so if you need a part, I have it most likely.  Floors have been patched; drivers side has new piece welded in, and the floor is covered in what looks like fiberglass painted silver...not sure  what that process was.  But it feels solid.  No headliner, but bows are in trunk.  Trunk has one area of rust holes on left, as shown in close-up.  The bottom of the spare tire well is even solid!

  This would make a really great project - it's all there and solid.  Unfortunately there is no title to this car.  It has Oregon license plates from 1956, ( 8E 1233) and the DMV shows nothing on record; it's been out of the loop a long time.  I will provide Bill of Sale.

Arranging transport is buyer's responsibility, but I will help on this end, such as towing it to a pick-up area.

Any questions feel free to call or email me:  (Terry) 541-726-8467  eves PST

 Good luck bidding!  You won't be disappointed....

2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

We all knew That Kid. As a freshman, he was a big kid, overweight but surprisingly strong. Still, he was often picked on for his size. Then, he chatted with the football coach, who convinced him that his true calling was on the team's offensive line. After a season on the freshman squad and a summer of two-a-days, this mild-mannered, husky high schooler returned for his sophomore year as a big, imposing, solid piece of muscle. Needless to say, the same bullies that picked on him were praying he'd forgotten about them as a 10th grader.
That's the V8-powered 2015 Dodge Challenger. It arrived on the scene with a max of 425 horsepower and a bit of a weight problem. It completed its proverbial freshman year with a nice 2011 refresh, where the SRT8 was bumped up to 470 hp, but it still had some work to do.
Enter 2015, and fresh off three months of constant burpees and wind sprints, the newest Challenger is as big and powerful as it's ever been, but it's now got poise and potential, and my goodness, it's fun in a way that Dodge's muscle car has never been.

Chrysler readying 20 Moparized vehicles for SEMA

Tue, 08 Oct 2013

The Las Vegas Convention Center has plenty of space for aftermarket companies and automakers to show off their wares, and it looks like Chrysler is taking advantage of the spacious floor plan. At next month's SEMA Show, Chrysler will have a full 20 cars from its six brands decked out with Mopar gear.
As a hint of what is to come, Chrysler released a handful of teaser sketches showing glimpses of modified Jeep Cherokee, Ram 1500, Fiat 500L and Chrysler 300 concept vehicles. The automaker will also use the venue to show off a new line of Jeep Performance Parts offered by the all-new Mopar Off-Road Division. In addition to the images, Chrysler also issued a brief press release - posted below - breaking down some of the "industry-first features" that Mopar has offered in recent years.

2013 Dodge Dart GT

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

My younger brother bought a Dodge Dart earlier this summer. It's a basic SXT, in Maximum Steel Metallic, with the 2.0-liter engine, a six-speed automatic transmission and not a whole lot else. Unfortunately, at the time, the Dart was one of the few cars in the compact class I'd never driven. I didn't know a lot about it, and therefore, didn't have a lot to say when he bought it. I think the words "based on an Alfa," popped out when I first saw it.
As it turns out, he's grown quite fond of the dark gray sedan, so it was with some degree of enthusiasm that I paid him a visit in this bright-orange Dart GT. I was excited to see what it was about the Dart that he enjoyed so much, despite my tester featuring a different engine, transmission and a lot more tech. After a week with the car, though, I must say: I don't quite see what all the fuss is about.
