My barnyard find 1965 dodge coronet 500 convertable

This is probably the closes i will ever come to barnyard fine. A 1965 dodge coronet 500 convertible for $1500.00. It has been siting on the mans carport since 1982. Parked it because of a fuel leak. The motor will turn over but have not tried to start it. But the convertible top does work.

 

cool i used to have a 65 500 but mine was ahardtop

what engine trans? does your have

any pics?

 

nice!
and where the hell are the pictures?

 

My vote for some pics too.

 

Ditto on those pics!!!

 

I am happy for you.

 

It has a 361 big block and for pictures I can not get them to show up on here. They show up in my album, but I can not figure out how to get them to this spot

 

do you have your pics hosted someplace like photobucket? or have them on a memory card?

Cool! Looks like you got a killer deal.
A friend of mine in school had a light blue hardtop that we skipped school in a couple times.

 

looks very solid

incase you dont know the upper cowl is a very bad area on the 63-65 b-bodys

 

If your trailer has Magnums on the other side too, you should swap rims with the car. Nice find.

 

Nice find! I too have a red Coronet 500 convertible. But mine is a 67 and is too new to be really welcome here.

 

That's in much better shape than my 65 coronet 500 convert. Same color combo also. Pm me if you need any thing.

 

cool find, I'm happy for you. That's not something one sees every day

Or every year, for that matter!

 

This is mine behind the St Louis South Chrysler ***embly Plant as it is being torn down 11-2010.

 

WOW! a '62-'65 B Body that still has lower quarters intact They mostly rotted, even here in California!

 

I owned one of those.Enjoyed it right up to the day I got sunburned quite badly.Havent owned a convert since.Mine is in North Dakota somewhere now.

 

I picked up a set of 1968 dodge charger wheels for a song and dance (Plus a little cash) for the convertable. I have got it running it sounds good for sitting so long still having some problems with the carb. hopefully soon it will be driveable.

 

who's gonna tell him 65 dodges are not part of this traditional board??

 

Well we will probably let him slide on it as he already has the following HAMB friendly 1956 Chevy, 1948 Plymouth, T bucket in his garage. The Dodge isn't his only "fun" car just the latest one in the fold.

But then a 64 Holden Four door sedan is waaaaay more HAMB friendly than a cooler than hell 65 Dodge ragtop isn't it?

 

Well said, best laugh for me today.
