Top Dodge Coronet Parts That Bring Your Classic Back to Life

The rejuvenation of a classic Dodge Corone isn't just a hobby, it’s a personal project that combines the appreciation of history, the tradition of fine workmanship and the fulfillment of American muscle. Whether you are refurbishing a fifties cruiser or a late sixties speed machine, tracking down the perfect Dodge Coronet parts is paramount to doing a restoration correctly.

Whether it’s the engine in your car or the trim of the interior, each and every part has a role in keeping your vehicle original. We’ll go over a few of the most critical components to consider as well as where to discover trusted parts to use in your classic build.

Brake System Components

Safety should always be a priority, particularly with an older car. No one would otherwise be focused on the brake system. Some of the key elements that make brake parts include the master cylinders, brake shoes and brake drums, the calipers, and the flexible brake hose. Converting to a dual-reservoir master cylinder, or at least adding a step up to front discs if your Coronet started life with four wheel drums underpinning it, is a good move for better safer daily driver-style braking, and it won’t affect the car’s period-correct style.

Engine and Drivetrain Parts

The heart of the car can't be ignored in any restoration. Weather you are doing a numbers matching engine, or swapping a crate engine into a muscle car, you can now purchase all the original equipment style parts, Dodge Coronet parts include such items as carburetors, water pumps, and ignition components.

Similarly, drivetrain performance parts including driveshafts, U-joints and differentials are essential to bringing the Coronet's ride into focus. For purists, staying true to factory-correct parts makes the car more valuable and retains its history.

Suspension and Steering

The Dodge Coronet rode well but it also handled well for a car of its size. Eventually, though, bushings, ball joints, shocks and tie rods can wear out, negatively affecting ride quality and safety. As with any restoration, replacing the suspension is critical, especially for enthusiasts who plan to drive their restored Coronet regularly.

Fortunately much of this hardware is still obtainable from those specialized vintage parts sources who know the details of each Coronet version.

Exterior Trim and Body Panels

Genuine trim pieces badges, moldings, bumpers, grilles add a huge visual punch. The same can be said about hoods and hood repair parts; these can be hard-to-find and in good shape, but they are a must to bring your Coronet back to life. 

If you have rust or collision damage, replacing fenders, hoods or floor pans with reproduction pieces can reduce labor time and maintain the structural integrity of the vehicle.

Interior Restoration Items

Don't overlook the cabin. The interior bits such as seat upholstery, door panels, dash pads and gauge clusters, all help to add comfort and originality.
