I've combined my old school engine and drivetrain with some new tech to get the most out of it. Dual wideband O2 sensor system helps me know how to adjust the 3x 2bbl carbs, Dakota Digital RTX series gauge system looks exactly like the factory gauges but with modern lighting and data acquisition and reporting features, even a launch control for my manual transmission!

Just the Mopar Performance 472, which is a poked and/or stroked 426...."with a little work done to it"...still old school Mopar. No power adders or laughing gas...AND the upgraded two circuit master cylinder for safety. VERY nice..!!
Those 64/65 coronets are beautiful. My dad bought a 65 two door for a family car in 1965 with a 318. Within a year my dad took me, 6yrs old at the time, to a few junk yards to find a worthy 383. Had a few of his friends come over for a weekend and switched motors. Still pretty much remember everything that went on that weekend....He would take for rides in it and more than a few times would run people on the way to pick up a pizza ect. Good times with dad....miss you Pops
It's one thing when got an old school muscle car with 700 hp and know how to drive it. The fact that the owner drives it like he does without a roll bar cage,now that is nuts!
Straightforward, no-nonsense CAR. Bad to the bone and solid. Gets up and go, sounds like a million bucks, looks incredible... What more does one need hey? Perfect. 👍🏻
Damm, I love this Dodge! It has everything you need and nothing you don't. Six packs are nice, but an old school dual quad or wedge set up is just boss!
My uncle has one of these. He bought it off the showroom floor. It only has one scratch on it that my mom put on it by opening her car door too wide LOL
My freind here in Sweden got one of those, he bought a standard car without engine in the US, shipped it here and rebuilt it as a superstock clone with a 528 Hemi 700 hp and 1000 Nm in touqe, 4 on the floor and its streetlegal. Fantastic car!
There is just something so amazingly cool and nostagic about these old Dodges. They are raw beasts! Cross ram manifolds whether Hemi or Max Wedge are just unbeatable powerplants in their day.
@@larrymcintyre5693 the Cornet had a 440 modle it was more of a trim package. I had a 68 cornet 440 it was a 4 door with a 318. So the 440 model had many options. This one has a wicked built Hemi in it.
@@jasonbell2582 all I’m saying is the original factory hemi was a 426. The 440 magnum was a strong motor, but not as strong as the 426 hemi. It was the king of the muscle car engines, and the base design revolutionized drag racing. To this day, top fuel motors use that technology in the heads
@@larrymcintyre5693 i totally agree the hemi head design definitely revolutionized drag racing from the 1st gen 392 hemi to the 2nd gen 426 earned the title the Elephant. I love the 60s mopars👊
@@jasonbell2582 top fuel motors are now making 11000 plus horsepower, and that is phenomenal from a 500 cubic inch V-8, even if it is a blown nitro motor
@@CJColvin It’s kinda confusing but the owner said it’s a 472 cubic inch Hemi. The car model is a ‘Coronet 440’, though they did start making 440 ci (not Hemi) engines a year later.
We'd run in the 12s but should be low 11s... great to here a dude who actually knows what he is talking about. I believe it 100%. Those tires and making it all work.. yeah he is right. It would be a challenge to run a good number at the strip with that combo.
I don't know. I've seen some pretty mediocre super stocks built for the track that didn't have a 700HP Hemi do a lot better than 12's in the 1/4. I think he's telling a little windy about what this car will really do. Maybe his gearing is off and he's not using great rear tires. But he's hitting 7000 RPM very quickly in this Hemi Coronet. 12's don't pass the smell test here.
Unbelievably spectacular! Those taillights are just beautiful. The whole car is a work of art. When a person builds their dream..and the world loves it....nough said. Congratulations to this man
Gorgeous car.......for those that dont know Mopars, that's not a glove box, thats storage for spare cap, rotor and ballast resistor. Forget any one of them and you may end up sleeping in the back seat.
LOVE IT!! Old school all the way. Simple but tons of power and a blast to drive. Remember seeing cars like that at the dragstrip back in the day. Buy 'em off the lot and go racing. Then go double-dating to the drive-in on a Friday night. FANTASTIC!! Colour is really nice.

I had 65 Coronet back in the 70's, 426 wedge motor. Most fun car I have ever owned. I need another 65 Coronet. Maybe this one. Maybe I could sell the house. Check out the facial expressions on his passenger. Classic.
Even though these cars never went away, they are enjoying a whole new, cool resurgence. They guys that are rocking them aren't just fellas that wanna take them to car shows with doowop music playing and stand around looking. Drive the wheels off them like they were intended to be driven! Rock on!
Cool car .i had a 66 coronet with a Ray Barton built big block .482 ci ……bought over to the uk in 2005 .loved the car ..memories Great video guys take care .. There’s a man enjoying his car .smiles says it all .
Coming from the UK it seems crazy to me that car manufacturers were selling this straight out the dealership in the USA, 'hooligan cars' direct to customers, very cool.
Had a four door version of this car that belonged to my maternal grandpa. Wasn't nearly as badass as this one but that little 318 drove and drove until she couldn't keep oil in her. Helluva blow by. Used to a use catch can on the dipstick tube and poured it back in and topped her off weekly.
Always great to see another one of these Race Hemi's. Reverse manual shifting pattern on the column is great, but try playing with one of these beasts on the street with a 4-speed.
Sweet, one thing about mopar you take it straight from dealer to the drag track,got to love it.to own a mopar is a religion and to take it to track is a good practices.😎😎😎😎😎😎🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
That is a great car! There simply is no engine with the personality and brute strength of the Gen II Hemi! The most horsepower potential for a given displacement of any Detroit engine, and the best -- and deepest -- exhaust sound of any engine of this type. A hemi will literally send such low-frequency pulses that you can "feel" as well as hear this engine. When the Hemi has a short run in NASCAR before being banned, you could always discipher the Hemi from the wedge Fords and Chevys just by the exhaust sound alone! One of a kind!
100% old school Mopar right there, not one ounce of 21st century technology exists on this car and I love it.

2 seconds in and a big fat YES. Gorgeous and perfect.
Sounds aggressive as all hell! That manual valve body shift on the column is cool af
Pure cool and this thing pulls hard

Well, The whole idea is to keep the rubber side down.....lol
700 HP w/ OG on the tree and no EFI. Love this.
Love the nostalgia drag look, and its definitely rowdy
Yes and hell yes it’s rowdy
Finally somebody with a badass car and a Hemi who's not afraid to get in it. Use them for what they were meant for. Nice job and thank you
I like me a 67 Coronet, but the way this is set up is just right!

Awesome!!

Yeah, pure cool old school as is Darin
Wild, untamed, no gimmicks, raw & uncut street shit. Luvvit
You got it!
Man there is nothing to hold on to dude.....I've heard that a few times ;--) What a beautiful MOPAR!
😂 fun ride though
I remember my dad slamming me in the seat back in the day. I would hold on to bottom seat and try to keep myself in it. Good Old Days.
That sounds amazing sir!
Perfect perfect perfect , it doesn't get any cooler than this, freakin awesome!
When you look in the dictionary under badass, the picture of this car should be there
What a wonderful machine! Nothing compares to Mopar power! Fantastic episode.
This was a really fun shoot. Cool car and Darin is awesome!
I had a 1965 barracuda (273) stock from the factory and surprised alot of big block cars. Mopars were just plain bad ass .
Just an old school beast. What used to equate to fairly low buck fun. Very, very nice!
the 50’s & 60’s cars are the BEST!!..i graduated in ‘62..so i’ve seen plenty of both decades!!..👌
Always been a mopar fan, the 63-65 are like it or hate it body, always liked it, awesome mopar
Don't forget the Lowly 62 also a B body!
Those smiles made me smile....badass Mopar right there
Big smiles in this one!
Absolutely beautiful car and excellent, well done video! Really captured the raw power of those great super stock Mopars...
this is the best Autotopia video so far .. just brilliant 🙌🙌
Thank you! We had a blast shooting this one and I loved the ride in this beast
He nailed it. Thanks for sharing.🙏
Thanks Shawn. Been working over 12 hours again today and these awesome videos are most appeciated ;)

What a beautiful ride.
I like the classic gauges and drum brakes. Thats a car when skill ruled racing. Nice car.
Ahhh, that sound is pure music. Great looking, sounding, and running car. I love the giggles when he jumps on it.
Perfect old school clean/mean machine!
Sooooo collectible, and with original wheels, a BIG like.

Now that`s really cool , Reminds of a a990 hemi racer back in 64-65
Old school street rod
Another vlog where ya smiling all the way through, such a cool ol' school build.
" it's never done that before " as coolant runs like a faucet underneath the car lol what a beautiful beast love it .
