The Coronet is an automobile that was marketed by Dodge as a full-size car in the 1950s, initially the division's highest trim line but[1], starting in 1955, the lowest trim line. From the 1965 to 1975 model years the name was on intermediate-sized models. A coronet is a small crown consisting of ornaments fixed on a metal ring.
The Coronet reappeared for the 1965 model year as the intermediate sized B-body using a 117-inch wheelbase. For 1965, Dodge sold slightly over 209,000 units, making the Coronet the most popular model sold by Dodge that year. Trim levels initially were base Coronet including a Deluxe version, Coronet 440 and Coronet 500.The base Coronet and Deluxe were available as two-door sedans, four-door sedans and station wagons. For 1965 only, Dodge also sold only 101 units of a modified wheelbase version of the base Coronet two-door sedan and 440 hardtop used for NHRA drag racing. The model known as A990 came with a racing version of the 426 Hemi engine. These altered wheelbase vehicles eventually became popularly known as "funny cars" due to their unique wheel spacing. The front and rear axles were moved forward significantly from the stock location, putting the front wheels directly behind the front fender, and the rear wheels almost under where the rear seat would normally go; this alteration transferred weight to the rear tires, increasing traction on launch. From the popular term "funny cars" was born an entire genre of racing vehicles, which exists to this day (albeit in much transformed form). Front seat belts and padded dash were standard.[24]The middle of the Coronet line-up was the 440 and was available as a two-door hardtop, convertible or station wagon. The 440 designation did not indicate engine displacement as commonly assumed (both then and now, which helped sales to an extent). The nomenclature was a carryover theme from the 1963-64 Polara series. The top of the Coronet line-up was the Coronet 500 and was available only as a two-door hardtop or convertible in 1965. Slightly over 33,300 units were sold in 1965 and included as standard, a V8 engine (273 cubic inches), exterior trim and badging, bucket seats, padded dash and chrome floor console. Coronets were manufactured at Chrysler's Los Angeles assembly plant and at Lynch Road assembly plant in Detroit. Engines offered for 1965 included the base 225 Slant-Six, 273, 318 (Polyhead), 361 (the last year for this big block engine was 1966), 383 and 426 in multiple HP choices. Sales brochures list the 413 (its last year offered) as available, but no records exist of this engine, commonly used in Imperials, being installed in Coronets for 1965.[25] A tachometer was optional.[26]In 1966 a four-door Coronet 500 was added, called the Coronet 500 SE (Special Edition). It had special "SE" logos on the C-pillars and on the seat back. There would be no Coronet 500 wagon until 1968. Coronet received a redesign in 1966, and a facelift in 1967. Trim levels initially were base Coronet, Coronet 440 and Coronet 500. In 1966, the Coronet Deluxe was introduced, fitting between the base Coronet and the Coronet 440. The Coronet R/T was introduced in 1967.The Coronet R/T was available as a two-door hardtop or convertible. Standard engine was Chrysler's largest, the 440-cid V-8, it was tweaked to 375 bhp and christened the Magnum. The only engine option was the 426-cid Hemi, now in its second year in "Street" trim and again rated at 425 bhp. A total of just 136 Coronet 500 Street Hemis were built for 1966. - Auta a dopravní prostředky

THE BACKROUND MUSIC IS SOOOOOO MELLOW,SOOOOOOO
RELAXING. IT TAKES ME AWAY TO A PLACE I WAS IN THE PAST.
IT SOOTHS ME IN COMBINATION WITH THE VIDEO BUILD. I CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW MELLOW AND RELAXED IT MAKES ME.
ANYONE FEEL THE SAME WAY?

I like this kit I wish the hobby shop was open so I could get one or two thank you nice kit
modelroundup.com is open 24-7 to order kits, paints, glues, etc.
December 1964 our neighbor bought THIS car. 4 of us teen "kids" got rides in an abandonded parking lot. We watched the gas gage go down after each of our seating rotation's fast launches. Four burn outs = 1/4 tank! Except for the smell of tires and the low scream of that engine - you NAILED this build. Thanks for the memory, Chris.
Thank you for sharing...

I had the 1:1 car when I was in the Navy. Coronet 500 in white with 383 4 barrel. Awesome car with somewhat understated styling but the 383 made up for it. I have 2 Polar Light 65 Coronet 500 kits and am going to replicate my car very soon. Nice build by the way. I like the color choices.
When I was 16, I had a roadrunner. My friend had a 65 Dodge like that. It had the 413 wedge. It was scary fast.
A press fit that is not a curbside, wow. I can't believe the engine detail on a press fit, great build, thanks.

This looks like the perfect bridge between a simple snap kit and a full detail paint and glue kit. I think I'm going to grab one of these for my buddy's daughter.

I need to get this! I had a black and red '65 Coronet back in the day. Would make a great reminder of what I used to roll!
That choice of color looks awesome on your build !!! Thanks for the great review and time !!!

You brought it all the way home! Thanks for the Professional camera work and a nice nostalgic car build. As a young soldier returning home from Vietnam in '69, I purchased the ultimate sleeper. I was at my stateside duty in southeast Alabama, and found a 1965 Dodge Coronet Florida State Highway Patrol interceptor car. 426 wedge, and slush box. It was built to beat the best without a struggle-.'nuff said.
Thanks man!
I love this kit. If I can afford to get another kit, this is the one. You did an awesome job! Terrific color choices!
The model looks really good! I like this version of the kit best and your painting techniques really brought out the best in the kit. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you!
I could watch your build videos all day every day.

do get back into it! I restarted about 2 years ago ( I'm 58) when my son became crazy about old dragsters, he is 12. Just keep in mind you DONT want to build something like a Dragon full interior tank, or an old Monogram b24, it will frustrate you
Beautifully detailed interior!!
Well done! A great kit and wonderful inspiration.

I remember sitting in front of the TV watching Star Trek (the original series) about 1967, looking at the newly finished Ramchargers 65 Dodge model kit. It could be built using the 426 Hemi, injected, dual quad,or the street wedge engine. Boy you got a lot of stuff for $2.06! LOL
Yet another great review. I am really going to have to look at snap kits again.

i loved back in the 70's when everything was 1| 25 scale and bigger i cant stand 1|24 love your work thanks
Not sure if you're aware or not but 1/24 scale is bigger than 1/25 scale

Had no idea this kit was so cool! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for stopping by the channel!
Whaaaaat? Chris actually showed himself painting with a brush? Oh, the humanity.
Shocking!
Man!! - I gotta tell ya - I just LOVE your builds!! They are fast, fun and REALLY nice. I used to build about three or four kits a week when I was a youngster and I genuinely loved it! I used to revel in the little details to make my models NICE - and in fact, won a few local shows with a couple of my models. This Coronet press fit kit looks like something that could roll back about 40 years - and roll ME back into the hobby! I still have about two dozen OLD kits that have made three moves with me over the years .... heh, heh ...... Planning for my retirement, I reckon. Thanks for sharing on your channel - it's just plain fun to watch you do these kits!

Very nice build - wouldn't mind driving this car now.
Thanks!
I first saw this kit about 8-10 years ago, either Polar Lights or Johnny Lightning branded. There was a convertible version of this car and a 64 GTO, both snappers. Great job, love the color and finish.
Edit:
Should've watched the entire video before I made the Polar Lights comment.
Yup, all owned by Round2 models now so they swap the name on the boxes and what not time to time.

Nice kit. They made this as a kit that was painted professionally and released it about 10 years ago. They were red or yellow. Great job again brother. I also had the original kit in 1965. Still have the 1965 instructions. I put cheater slicks on mine from my 1965 kit. I also drilled out my caps on the cutouts.

I would have never known this is a Snap Fit kit if the box had not said so. Beautiful car. I really would love to do this one ! I really like how you put the black on the wheels and did the black wash on the console. Really makes a difference on how the detail comes out. Awesome build my man ! Thumbs up !!!!
