1968 Coronet 440 original 383/727 hardtop. Bought this car in 2012 from http://www.myhotcars.com/, advertised as a Black Plate Calif. car on consignment for $17,000. It has had one repaint, the interior is original and was "blacked". The headliner is in excellent condition as well as the rest of the interior, though there is wear on the front bench seat.

Here is a link to many pics from when I purchased the car. http://s346.photobucket.com/user/Boise68/library/68 Coronet 440?sort=3&page=1

Almost all of the upgrades I have done to this car are detailed right here on FBBO at http://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/threads/here-is-whats-on-my-table.48966/

Upgrades include:

Upgraded headlight harness & Hella Halogen Lights: approx $400

Wildwood 6 piston front disk brakes & Wilwood master cylinder: approx $1,800
Boss 338 18 inch rims with Hankook tires

Suspension:approx $1500
Helwig Front Stabilizer
Hotchkiss Rear Leafs

Firm Feel Upper Control Arms

Boxed Lower Control arms

PST Super Front End Kit

Engine/Converter Upgrade: $8,500

451 stroker built & dyno break-in by Valley Crankshaft (see dyno sheet in above thread "Here's what's on my table")
http://www.valleycrankshaft.com/

PTC converter

So not adding in wheels/tires I am into my Coronet for 29,200. My asking price is $20,000 for the car, which I believe is reasonable. I hope a Mopar brother buys it and enjoys this fantastic car as I have. I wish I could have bought this car for 20k in 2012!

I have saved parts if the buyer would like to return the Coronet to factory brakes/upper control arms/torsion bars.

I also have a collection of "RT" components that I will include if the buyer is interested. Please PM for contact info so that I may answer any questions.

Some interior pictures would be great. Anything that the car needs?

When I detailed the engine compartment and installed the 451 the AC was replaced with a modern AC compressor, however the system is not complete yet and requires this underhood kit:

As far as other needs I would have done US Cartool subframe connectors, as many others have done for cars with upgraded performance engines.

A fellow 68 Coronet(RT)owner drove my car at last summers local car cruise, his words were, "Man that car is tight, I hope mine turns out this nice". The suspension is killer and the engine/converter performance
are perfectly matched and brings a smile to your face. Thanks for your interest.
