Dodge Coronet Sleeper

With its dog dish hubcaps and blue pastel paint, this 1966 Dodge Coronet for sale in McLean, Va., looks like a car passed down from your grandfather. But it's got a surprise under the hood -- a hot rod 440 cubic inch mill in place of the stock 273. The engine should move this hulk down the road and it's a good looking car. But at $5,250, this one has a few too many problems to make it a run out and buy car.
So to keep with the sellers odd figures, we'd say this one is worth $3,025. The car originally came from North Carolina. The body is solid, but the car needs work -- the transmission slips, the "fuel sending unit" is bad (you mean fuel pump?), and the headliner is nasty, though it comes with a new one.
In 1989, I owned a similar Mopar (a '66 Plymouth Belvedere with a 440). These are big heavy cars, but the big blocks make them stoplight demons. Seller says this one will make a great winter project. We think so too, if the price is right.
