The Coronet was part of Dodge’s full-size lineup throughout the 1950s. After a five-year absence, Dodge resurrected the nameplate in 1965 as the brand for what had become their mid-size product offering. The seller has a family sedan from 1972, though some work has been done to change up its image. Needing a variety of things, this Mopar is presented as a “cheap wheels” buy at $2,000 here on craigslist. To see it in person, you’ll have to make a trip to Sewanee, Tennessee. Our thanks again to tip finder Chuck Foster.

When Chrysler redesigned their B-bodied intermediates in 1971, they separated the 2-doors from 4-doors and wagons. At Dodge, the Charger was the choice if you only wanted “dos” doors, while the Coronet name applied to the rest of the body styles. As a result, there was no longer a Coronet 2-door hardtop. Out of 66,000 Coronets built in 1972, more than 54,000 were sedans like the seller’s car.

Although the seller says the overall condition of this Dodge is “good,” the photos aren’t numerous enough to concur. There are no interior or trunk pics, there is no image of the entire engine compartment, and the exterior photos don’t help much. But for a $2,000 car, maybe you don’t need the same kind of presentation you would expect for a $20,000 vehicle. The seller does tell us there is ample rust and loads of Bondo in the quarter panels. And “pretty sad” may describe the passenger compartment.

As you might expect, a 318 cubic inch lives under the hood. But it has a 4-barrel carburetor, “torque camshaft”, and a dual exhaust at 90,000 miles. We’re told the ride is drivable, but the brakes need attention (soon!). The sedan has a sunroof, but it looks like aftermarket, and we hope it doesn’t leak. If you bought this set of “cheap wheels,” what would you do with it?
