Dodge has created countless cool cars over the decades, including the Coronet. But why mention this particular model that hasn’t existed since the mid-1970s? Because the one we just encountered is demanding a moment of your time and access to your bank account.

It is a 1966 Dodge Coronet, making it part of the fifth generation that came to life from 1965 to 1970 in Detroit, California, Missouri and Colombia. The automaker offered sedan, coupe, hardtop, station wagon and convertible versions of this car that shared its nuts and bolts with the Plymouth GTX, Road Runner, Belvidere and Dodge Charger.

The powertrain family was enormous and consisted mainly of V8 chunks. Die-hard fans of this model will emphasize that only the models with 7.0 and 7.2 liter engines were true muscle cars, as this term does not apply to smaller versions. Others would tell you that the Dodge Coronet is a muscular model no matter what type of V8 it has, although you should know that in base configuration it also came with an inline-six.

Luckily, the one you see in the photo gallery is a V8-powered machine, and while it may not feature either of the two superior eight-cylinder engines, it’s still a great proposition if you’re looking for a similar model. Power comes from the 5.9-liter V8 coupled to an automatic gearbox. The car benefits from a four-barrel carburetor, an air filter, Moper performance intake and valve covers, and a few other bits and bobs.

Once you know how many miles it has on the odometer, chances are you will become more interested in this classic car. The ad shows that the odometer shows only 3,319 miles (5,341 km). That’s not a typo, and even though the ad doesn’t mention anything about a restoration, there’s a good chance that this vehicle has undergone such a process at some point, as that reflects the overall appearance inside and out and the extremely low mileage for a car that turning sixty years old would justify. in two years.
