1966 Dodge Coronet Deluxe

My Rusty Dodge is a 1966 Coronet Deluxe 2dr. sedan. It started life as a granny grocery getter. It was an original 6 cyl radio delete 27,000 mile car that belonged to a real granny. I punched it in 1987, Fixed a dented r/f fender and drove the hell out of it. The first thing to ware out was the 7 1/4 rear end. So in went a 8 3/4. Soon after was the K frame swap with a 383 that made a nice street package. The car was running 13.70s @ 95. It now sports a 440, 292 cam,10.1 pistons 906 heads 727 still shifted on the column, and a 4.10 Dana, It has run 11.49 @ 114.68. It usually does very consistent 11.70s. Plans for the future are 4.56s with a spool, A fresh engine with light weight pistons and the 557 lift cam. Hopefully 11.20s will be the plan of the day next time to the track.

Peace, Mike
