My 66 500 was driven from California to Las Vegas, New Mexico yearly to visit relatives. In 78 or 79 the engine blew and it was towed to Art's Dodge in Las Vegas. A new car was sold to the people, The 500 got a 318 from a total loss low miles Cordoba and the Poly 318 was sent to scrap. In 1980 My best friend and I were looking for our first cars and we had a route on Sunday's to hit all car lots in Vegas. I found the 500 and Monday after school my dad and I bought it and I made payments on the first of many Mopars. ( My buddy bought a 1973 fresh plum Pierre Cardin Javelin that he still ownes). It was pale Yellow with a green/gold interior, Vin WP23E65123***. If anyone knows of this car, I would like to hear about her past. Thanks

Hey. I am new to Mopars and looking for help with this car. I have a 1972 Coronet Custom with a 318 auto. The car has been converted to push button start. When I turn on the power and push the button all I get is a click and all power shuts down. The headlights and interior lights shut off and will not return until I remove the battery and reinstall it. The car was working perfectfully until about a month after I got it. I have replaced the battery, starter, and solenoid. I hope I can get some clues to this problem.

Thanks,
Joseph

My 72 has a 8 3/4 rearend, I have the stock rims from my 88 dodge pickup. They are the size I want to run on the rear, can I swap the axles from a truck 8 3/4 into my coronets rearend?

I have been working like crazy on my 67 over the winter months here in Minnesota. (Just ordered a new radiator)
Anyway im all done with 90% of my planned repairs.

I am blessed with a big block 727 that will hold fluid for about 24 hours. After that? Its a "crime scene" under my car.

Its been on jack stands all winter and I am going to drop the 727. Should I put seals in it? or send it out for a rebuild?

I worked at a tranny shop years ago when I was young and strong. Now im old and weak but also smarter.

Any advise?

Ive linked to the dart because thats the only dodge ones they have right now. Not sure if the radios were the same or not? Still very cool though.

I bought a 70 Coronet 500 about 10 years ago. The car came with a superbee hood and non matching motor so i made it into a 70 Super bee clone.And i love the car.

Hello,

My 66 500 was born a poly 318, automatic. It was converted to a newer 318 and later a 4spd. The car is now without an engine or tranny. Should I look for a Poly or newer 318? Is it hard to convert to a 383 or 440? Thanks for the advice.
