I didn't really need another project, but this was too good to pass on. It's a '67 Coronet 440, originally a 318 car. The guy I bought it from had taken it to a body shop in 2011 and just finally gotten it back a month ago. They filled all the trim holes, stripped and painted it black, added a hemi hood scoop and installed a new windshield and headliner. While he was waiting he had bought a bunch of new parts for the interior, subframe connectors, inboard spring kit, a trunk mount battery kit, had the bumpers rechromed and the tail panel restored. There is no motor or trans, but that's not a big deal. The owner had moved on to other projects while he was waiting and just wasn't interested in it anymore. I stumbled across it Wednesday night when I was looking for some parts for my buddies '67 Coronet 500. I knew it wouldn't last long, so I got up at 5:00 AM on Saturday morning and made the 3 hour drive in a nasty rain storm to pick it up. Clear Oregon title and original blue and yellow Oregon plates, it even still has the certicard. My 472 hemi may not go in the '71 Road Runner after all. I'm thinking leave it column shift, bench seat, leave all the trim off and put a set of Cragars on it.

Here it is after a good wash and sorting through all the parts
