1971 Dodge Coronet Custom Sedan Mopar 383 V8

Got a 1971 Dodge Coronet Custom sedan with a big block 383 from a friend who purchased it from the original owner. Going to sell it to another friend who really really wants it. Decided to shoot a video on the car while it's here.

I got a '76 Valiant from the original owner on the Tulalip Rez; it was parked when the heater core let loose & the radiator was weeping at the upper tank in the late 1980's. I had to promise not to cut it up or flip it, which I have honored- I took it from Seattle to NC when I sold off & escaped the nuttiness that is the Seattle area. Probably helped I'm Choctaw/Chickasaw, too, 😆
Today it has 88k miles. It has 12" rotors, full 340/A38 suspension, mild modifications to make it tighter, KYB shocks, cop car wheels with 60-series blackwall Bridgestones, dual exhaust, Edelbrock intake & 650 cfm carb (318 for now), Comp Cam whose power band is 1,800-5,800.
It will be running in a TDS event in January from Atlanta to Texas

Very cool car. I am now looking for a 1971 -1972 Dodge Coronet sedan and Plymouth Satellite sedan to have both models to drive.

Mike, that is a nice car. She took great care of it . That pry bar is for the hub caps.

[@MikeFrankovich]

Yeah, it’s getting harder and harder to find these old cars in this sort of original condition. It’s funnier to say the pry bar is for popping trunks.

[@ryand.8176]

@@MikeFrankovich of course it’s funnier!😆

Nice car Mike! My dad had a 72 Crestwood wagon that had the 400 in it. It would move quite well with the low compression 2bbl 400.

[@MikeFrankovich]

One of my oldest friends has this car now. He's been driving it.

[@johnallred716]

this model (318) was our high school driver's ed car; five dudes, plus the PE coach driving around Huntsville, Alabama. LOVE your truck tour...breaking and entering, tagging...lol

[@PecanRanch]

Very nice survivor. Sand the roof down and paint it white, that would be period correct.
