But I would rather work on it as a project car. I understand some people want already restored car instead of getting a project for restoring it. But I would rather restore and get a project. But thank you for your opinion!
Deciding what I want to do with 67 coronet conv.

Thats a pretty nice coronet there. It would be a shame to see it modified extensively (and expensively). Your money....do as you please. Myself i would find something else to modify.

Welcome to FBBO from NorCal Sierras
I'd vote for a day 2 build at a min
or a Resto-mod, pro-touring
what ever drivetrain & engine or options you desire,
or what ever floats your boat
the build budget & your ability/skills, parts available
the cars condition &/or your knowledge is about
"the only limiting factors"
check out the Racers Hangout
also check out the Resto-Mod & Pro-Touring Forums
if you chose the day 2 modifications route
now the Pro-Mod is a totally different animal
that's a hi-5 second low 6 sec. quarter mile drag car
I'm all in on that style build
I'm a bit twisted too
god luck & happy Moparing

Congrats!
Is it your wanna be dream car?
Then build your dream.
If it isn't, its gonna be your money pit nightmare car.
There are several 67 RT verts a available in the 40k - 55k already done.
Then spend the rest on booze & women.

If it were mine i would keep the vert(rare) close to stock and find a hardtop(common) to modify however i wish. Cheaper start....stiffer body to handle the power and handle better. 2 cool cars are better than 1!!

Thank you for your opinion. I really appreciate it. It seems everyone wants me to restore it. So if I do, it'll be concours restoration. I just been looking online to see if their were any R/T convr. projects for sale though first.

Keep it original. Too nice to mess up. You can make a road rocket out of anything.

Well I have decided to restore my car to the way it came from factory. I will be either dropping a small block or big block in but rebuild the original 318 and just store it in my warehouse.
Thank you all for your opinions! I greatly appreciate it!

Welcome from North Carolina. I would restore the body and interior to stock. Then upgrade the suspension for a better ride and put any drivetrain in that you want. That way, returning it to original will not be all that difficult. Once you start "modifying" the body and interior, it's a lot harder to return to original form. Like others stated before me, if the Coronet isn't you "dream" car, spend the money on a car that is.

Hey Joe, is that your car? If it is, we need more pics than that. You can't tease us like that, it's totally unfair.

My opinion on these questions is always the same, what option would be the most enjoyable for YOU to drive? What excites you at a show..a factory correct beauty, a fat tired Pro Street Beast or a Low and Nasty (in a good way) Pro Touring machine?
For me I don't enjoy squishy suspension and tires that limit my use, would prefer to not be screaming down the freeway at 3,500+ rpms sucking down the gas and definitely don't like being limited to my options by correctness.
To each their own, make it your own exactly how you want it.

Sounds like a plan.
If it were me, I wouldn’t waste money rebuilding the 318 just to toss it in a warehouse. If anything I’d oil it / grease the bores so it won’t freeze up on me and seal it up so water and mice can’t find their way in.
