1965 Dodge Coronet 500 Convertible

Description

This 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 Convertible has the right combination of originality, performance, and attitude that makes mid-60s Mopars so special. From the handsome styling, to the original 318 Poly V8, this neat convertible is seldom-seen Dodge that delivers performance and big car comfort in one sleek package.

This might have been the intermediate-sized car, but the styling tells a different story. The new-for-1965 Coronet line took advantage of a flat front with full-width grille, wide chrome bumpers, and premium full-length trim that also highlights how straight the sheet metal is on this example. The result is a convertible that can own the road. Plus, detail lovers will enjoy how this one is correct, right down to the badging. In fact, those two Dodge logos up front setup a sheet metal crease that runs all the way through the door line – proving that stylists really were at the top of their game. Speaking of style, this one has its factory-correct white paint and black roof setup. It looks quite distinctive, but the newer set of black alloy wheels really sets the whole package apart for an almost two-tone appearance.

With the flip of a switch, the powder folding top goes down to reveal more of that great black and white appeal. You have bucket seats up front for true comfort and plenty of room in the rear to make this a cruiser everyone can enjoy. There's even an upgraded to an AM/FM/CD stereo for the best driving tunes. The center console is a Mopar work of art. The same goes for the factory steering wheel and the big bright dash panel. The vertical lines in the dash coordinate with the door panels tell you both about this car's originality and how distinct Mopars are inside and out.

You'll love lifting the hood at cars shows. The bold red block will fill you with pride every time you show it off, because you get to tell everyone this is the original motor. But more than just a fantastic presentation, it's a desirable 318 cubic-inch "Polysphere" V8. Unrelated to the later 318 motor, this one evolved from the Red Ram 241ci Hemi. Its calling card was torque, and the Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor on this one only enhances that. All this power helps make this an effortless cruising machine. Your comfort factor is enhanced further by power steering, front disc brakes, and the A727 Torqueflite three-speed automatic transmission.

This is the vintage Dodge drop top that does it all. It has a great appearance inside and out; it has a powerful and unique V8 under the hood; and it's available right now at a great price. So you know this is a great deal that won't stick around here for long. Call now!
