What Makes It Special
Roddy’s 1966 Dodge Coronet 440 Convertible marks the first year of the redesigned Coronet body style — a bold, squared-off look that helped usher in Dodge’s muscle car identity. What sets this one apart is the modern 5.2L Magnum V8 from a 1998 Dodge van, paired with a 5-speed overdrive automatic, giving this classic a more refined and reliable driving experience.
Dressed in black-on-black, and keeping much of its original interior intact, this convertible carries the soul of a survivor and the performance of a sleeper — a true cross-era cruiser.
