Coronet is a nameplate that’s been seen on Dodge models for various periods of time. The Coronet first appeared in 1949, on the highest trim line of Dodge’s full-size offering at the time. Then, it was used on Dodge’s midsized models between 1965 and 1976. That’s where today’s 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 from Largo, Florida fits in. This 51,209-mile coupe comes with a mega V8 under the hood. Coronet 500 was the highest trim level offered for the nameplate, and over its five year production run, over 200,000 Coronets of all trims were sold. In fact, the Coronet was Dodge’s highest-selling and most popular model in 1965! That’s another great reason to make this car your own, regardless of whether you’re a discerning collector of American classics, or a classic car newbie.
Exterior and Interior
This 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 comes with a bright red coat of paint because, why not? It’s a flamboyant car, after all, with its signature Sixties style, chrome grille, hood scoop and rakishly-raked front windshield. Naturally, it looks like a muscle car because, well, it basically is a muscle car. Its stylish black and silver wheels look the part too, and are wrapped with suitably chunky tires that don’t mind shedding some rubber in cloud form. The interior of this 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 has been extensively enhanced, we see. There’s an aftermarket steering wheel and tachometer prominently staring at you the moment you slide into the car’s black leather-upholstered driving seat. In fact, all seats are upholstered with black leather, and up to four adults can get comfy in this car. They’ll have a few creature comforts to enjoy, including a push-button radio, a heating and ventilation system, reading lamps and wind-up windows. But it only takes a mere glance at the gear shifter to know that this car’s true forte is taking on the quarter mile.
Engine
This 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 is a veritable drag special, with its enhanced 440ci V8 sending gobs of power to the rear wheels. You’ll be in control, thanks to the car’s manual transmission with Hurst pistol-grip style shifter. Factory specs place the power output at circa 425 horsepower, but we’re sure that there are a few tricks in this car to make it even speedier.
