1966 Dodge Coronet 440 rotisserie restored better than new!
O boy, we do believe in miracles! This Coronet is build to drive, and that’s what he does like a dream.
Funny fact to start with: this Coronet has a RDW approved 1998 Magnum 5.2 V8 engine fuel injected (programmable / tunable) via wifi and micro processed motor management system, combined with LPG. The powerplant is connected to a Strong Torqueflite 727 transmission and 8 ¾ rear axle which makes it strong and reliable all day long.
The goal building this car was as follows: Take a new 1966 Dodge Coronet 440 and improve every part which could be improved. The list is long, better engine, trans, rearend, shocks, suspension, steering, brakes, electronics, wipers, heater, seating, isolation etc. etc.. And last but not least, make it look and drive great!
The Coronet is completely taken apart, every nut and bolt is touched, cleaned and/or renewed. Little rust on the car is welded, filled with copper and sanded to minimize the usage of fillers. Every hollow space and every bolt in the chassis is treated with Tectyl ML before reassembling. Every piece of metal has been treated by 2-component epoxy. Literally every part on the car is well thought about. The whole restoration process took more than 4 years!!
The body is straight as an arrow, the paintjob is breath taking, the stance is perfect!
Go see this car in real and fall in love! We have over 400 pics. From the restoration process which will show the building quality.
