There are a couple easy ways to stand out at a car show. You can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars building an ultra unique show car, or you can just buy a clean example of a body style that draws a crowd on its own. With its aggressive lines and tapered C-pillar, the fifth-generation Dodge Coronet is definitely one of those cars. When one features a laser straight body, show quality paint and a big block backed by a 5-speed, all the ingredients of a crowd pleaser are in place. Thanks to a rotisserie restoration, this 1966 Coronet 440 HEMI carries all those traits plus amenities such as a modern Tremec 5 - speed transmission. If you're in the market for a unique documented Mopar that will be a blast to own and drive, give this B-body a closer look.
When you go to car shows frequently, it's easy to forget that there are shades of yellow between pale and blinding. Dodge Yellow is one of those shades. It still possesses the magnetism of a softer yellow but attracts that attention without doing any retinal damage. Expertly sprayed over a remarkably straight body, this Coronet shows well from all angles. Panels are straight and fitment is significantly better than factory build quality. Glance underneath and you'll find that same glossy finish carries to the underside of the vehicle as well.
