Greetings!
Been out of the MoPar fold for 30 odd years. Picked up a 1966 Belvedere II a few months ago with the thought of flipping a few to get the dough together and get a 2 door 1968 Coronet. Managed to get out of the Belvedere with a few bucks in my pocket, and had me eye on a 4 door 1967 Coronet back east. That deal fell through, and while ferociously searching for a good car, stumbled on this:
It was on eBay and Craigslist, and I managed to get in touch with seller before the auction ended. Made him an offer close to what it was at on eBay with 24 hours left. He went up a grand to his price on Craig's (5K), then said lets meet in the middle, and as I was about to reach out and say sold, he went down to 4250.00. As I was paying him in hundreds, asked if he had change, and he said just give me 4200.00
So it was towed home, as it had been in storage for 15 years.
Think it's an pretty good find, NO rust, original (albeit tired) paint and ZERO dents. All original, other than a same year 383 intake, 4bbl carb and speakers in the rear fold down. Nice unmolested car.
Replaced the windshield and put in a new gas tank. Gone over the brakes and changed/flushed all the fluids. It was running on 5.5 cylinders, so am putting on a set of 383 heads until I get the 361's rebuilt.
Not the car I was originally looking for, but Ive had a 1968 and a 1969 Charger, so do dig them. It's essentially a fastback Coronet with a badass interior!
It had been in the same family for the past 39 years, being passed down to an 18 year old son after dad had it for 9 years.
Doing the math, same thing could be done with my family....
