Dear Santa,
I am not writing to you this early because everybody seems to think that the Christmas season starts six seconds after Halloween ends. Hardly the case…there is still plenty of time for you to work your elves on overtime shifts until the moment you hitch up the reindeer, swing your giant sack into the sleigh, and inform Mrs. Claus that you’ll be out all night and to not wait up. Look, Kringle, I get it…you work hard. I try to not ask too much of you, yet every year you take one look at my wish list…usually after you’ve used it to clean yourself with. I don’t appreciate that, big man.
But before I went off on a diatribe, I gave it some thought. Maybe I’m not giving you enough lead time to get things together. I’ll meet you in the middle on that deal if that’s the case, so it’s November 1st. That gives you just shy of two months to make this beauty appear in my driveway. I think I’m being as accommodating as I can be given your track record over the last several years. So let’s get straight to it…
This year, I’m asking you for something you don’t even have to spare an elf for. It’s this exact 1965 Dodge Coronet convertible. Where do I begin? All that’s there for you to do is to make this beauty appear…everything else is taken care of for you. The full tear down and rebuild has been completed to a top-level quality. The Medium Blue Metallic paint is laser-straight. The interior is fully re-skinned, the convertible top is fresh, and the trim inside and out has been worked to be the best it can be. The 440 underneath the hood has been built to be excellent, with Keith Black pistons, a Comp Cams bump stick, and a cross-ram intake. The 727 TorqueFlite has been checked out to make sure that it’ll handle the power, and 4.10 gears will do the rest.
I’m not accusing you of being unable to match this level of quality, Kringle. I’m just trying to make sure that your workload isn’t hampered by the request of one individual on your route this year. From the beadlocked rear wheels to the little “fratzog” emblems at the leading edge of each front fender, there isn’t a thing out of place on this Coronet, not one. The car is mean, the condition is pristine, and it’s even green, a Christmas color.
Do the right thing this time, Santa. You’ve failed for several years running now. Make this the year you make things right and all will be forgiven.
I’m sorry to inform you. But Santa has been incarcerated. For not once, not twice, but THREE times calling some woman a “ho”.
I thought he was incarcerated for multiple breaking and entering felonies.
Sweet looking ’65 Dodge Coronet.
Great car but the Honest Charlie steering wheel has to go………
Freaking awesome!!!It\’s MOPAR OR NO CAR. That 440 cross ram is rare making that Mopar even more valuable. Good Luck and sweet ride Ray. Hamilton, Ohio
That\’s almost the exact car I have been looking for except not a rag top , you see my father brought me up on all MoPaRs and his favorite one was his 1965 Dodge Coronet hard top and have since been looking for one since he passed away to restore but as all MoPaRs there few and far left and the ones left are a pretty penny but what you have there is a beautiful car hands up to you thanks for sharing this with me/us
Not a mopar guy at all but that is a beautiful car good job on this one mctaggart
