The Maxmotive Pittsburgh showroom presents this 1955 Dodge Coronet Custom with a 331 Hemi beneath the bonnet. A complete frame-off restoration was performed and a Fat Man subframe with stainless upper and lower control arms installed. More modern upgrades include power rack and pinion steering and power front disc brakes so the driveability keeps up with the massive Hemi power. The body was stripped to bare metal and the time and effort was taken to get it just right before the application of mirror-like PPG basecoat/clearcoat black exterior paint. To further highlight the paint, the bumpers and all the trim were re-chromed. With the chrome Ridler wheels, the effect is striking. Air Ride Technologies suspension front and rear allows you to drop it low for shows. Those glorious valve covers with “Chrysler FirePower” stamped on them will quicken the pulse of any performance enthusiast or historian. And that’s before you fire it up. When you do, the big motor speaks with authority, just in case every head hasn’t turned when you arrived at the show. It’s fed through an Edelbrock carb on an aggressive Hot Heads aluminum intake. It looks great underneath the custom air cleaner. A complete MSD ignition system – including the distributor – gets everything started. In true hot rodding tradition, the transmission and rear end are the best from the “other” manufacturers. A Turbo 350 automatic and Ford 9-inch limited slip rear make up a worthy driveline team for the Hemi. Sabatini Coachworks in Nazareth PA (the home of Mario Andretti by the way) stitched up a phenomenal custom red Ultra-leather and suede interior with bucket seats. Prepare for war with the unique morningstar shifter. A modern but classic-style 3-spoke steering wheel feels and looks great. The modern/classic theme continues with the gauges, all of which are Auto Meter except for the original speedometer. You’ll also notice the tasteful hand-applied pinstriping by Coopstriping. This 1955 Dodge Coronet Custom is a complete, slammed in the dirt Hemi hot rod with a brand and period correct power plant, foot-deep black paint, plus modern driveability and sound system. And it’s available for you now at Maxmotive.

*MAXmotive specializes in collectible classic and custom vehicles. We have more than 200 vehicles in our collection and have sold dozens nationwide and even overseas. We recommend that all buyers who are unable to view a vehicle in person have a pre-purchase inspection done prior to purchase. Inspections can be performed by an independent party selected by the buyer. Due to the age and uniqueness of these special vehicles, it is difficult to cover all aspects and characteristics of each vehicle’s condition within the limited space available. Thus, pre-purchase inspections are helpful to all parties involved. The information provided for this vehicle is presented to the best of our knowledge, and is deemed reliable. But MAXmotive does not warrant or guarantee this information as a basis for purchase. It is the responsibility of the buyer to make a thorough inspection to determine the suitability of the vehicle prior to purchase.
