1965 Dodge Coronet 440

[My65coronet]

Hello everyone, I am Bradd from Temecula, Ca. I am a long time Mopar guy and I currently have 3. A 2009 Dodge Challenger RT, 2016 Ram 1500, and my 1965 Dodge Coronet 440. Speaking of the Coronet, I am, like most of you, looking for specific parts. The man that owned it prior to me built it as a racer. It has a built 440 and it is break your neck fast. Unfortunately, I want it to be more comfortable, a cruiser. The fellow that owned it before deleted the original seats, consol, hood, framework of the deck lid and so on. I am desperately seeking bucket seats and a rear bench. I am willing to look at ant set up that would work and fit my car. I am also struggling to find out what seats from what cars could fit. So glad I found this website and I would love to hear from any likeminded Ma Mopar fans.

Welcome to the forum, I have a nicely done rear bench from my 67, not sure if it would fit you’d have to do some research or maybe someone who knows will chime in. It’s black no rips or creases perfect condition. Let me know if you’re interested, you can see it in the video posted below.

Welcome from Ct. Like red cars have a 65 Coronet, its tan but painted door jabs, engine compartment/underside and the trunk except the body to convert it to red. May never finish but trying.

Amazing, thank you all for the warm welcome. Funny how you fall in love with a specific brand of car. I was in the high school parking lot as a kid, and a sweet 74 Duster pulled into the parking lot and Mopar pylled into my life.

Let me first say thank you, and secondly your car is sweet. Sounds a lot like my 440. That rear seat looks great and ya that would probably work. Do you have any measurements on it?

Excellent job, that type of measurement should make this easy. Will verify my measurements tomorrow and get back to you. Thanks again, Bradd
