After spending most of its life as a clean daily driver, this awesome Coronet was the perfect starting point for a professional rotisserie restoration that mixed a killer big block engine with classic Mopar attitude. The car's straight body, which includes solid-closing doors on top of better-than-factory alignment, was massaged into spectacular surfaces by Tom Argue Design in Clearwater, Florida. Once those planes were completely clean and fully prepped, Dark Green basecoat was detailed with a white R/T stripe and sealed under glossy clear. And today, this positively evil Dodge rolls as one super slick road warrior that features a perfect combination of no-nonsense looks and vicious street manners.
What do you do when you have a sweet Mopar muscle car that needs a heart transplant? You call the fine folks at Chrysler and order something akin to this Coronet's killer Hemi crate engine! Thanks to a 2008 rebuild that guaranteed correct machining tolerances, this Dodge now moves to the tune of 465 horsepower and 485 lb./ft. of torque. At the top of the neo Elephant block, a painted and decaled air cleaner forces wind into big Edelbrock carburetors that are cinched to a reproduction intake. At the sides of that intake, cast iron heads hang organisol-coated valve covers over stainless valves and aluminum pistons. Between those pistons, a forged steel crank combines with a modern hydraulic cam to rotate a traditional-looking distributor. That distributor sequences spark through black Wire Technologies plug wires, which hang over fully restored exhaust manifolds. And at the front of those manifolds, a big Chrysler radiator rides between a Chrysler washer tank, low-mounted air conditioning and an onslaught of Chrysler-branded hoses.
That powerful Hemi engine sends thrust to a proven A727 Torqueflite that twists torque through both a Hemi converter and shift kit. That 3-speed hooks to a familiar Dana 60, which is fitted with a rugged Sure Grip differential. That awesome drivetrain rides between a Mr. Norm's K-frame, AFCO coil-overs, rear lowering blocks and rear air shocks. Turns come courtesy of Mr. Norm's power rack-and-pinion steering. Stops are provided by power-assisted Wilwood 6-piston calipers, which squeeze 13-inch drilled and slotted rotors. Large-diameter exhaust pipes employ an H-shaped crossover in front of beefy Xlerator Turbo Mufflers and traditional resonators. And power flows to the pavement through color-keyed Mr. Norm's wheels, which spin 245/40ZR18 BF Goodrich g-Force T/As in front of 295/35ZR19 BF Goodrich g-Force T/As.
Nothing says 60s Detroit muscle like this B-Body's simple Black interior. There's a pliable bench and bucket combo that's ready for the nearest drive in. Restored gauges and modern Vintage Air conditioning have been incorporated in true factory fashion. There's a wood-trimmed console that houses a small shifter for the 3-speed transmission. A correct Chrysler Solid State radio, which remains seated in the aforementioned dash, is dueled with a hidden Secret Audio system. And, in front of the driver, a stylish, wood-rimmed steering wheel spins around a chrome Mopar horn button.
Are you looking for big block power, great handling and a tailored appearance that's fit to impress? Congratulations, you've found your next classic! Call, click or visit [ Ссылка ] for more information.
