Looking to purchase a 1968, 1969, or 1970 Dodge Coronet convertible, 4-speed, that is in good to excellent condition. Prefer numbers matching drivetrain, along with service work records, and documentation.

Feel free to message me through this board.

Thanks, Jeff
 
Just curious.....what do you think the expected price range should be for something that fits that description?

Depends upon if it is a #1, #2, or #3 in condition, and if it is a Coronet 500 383 2 bbl or 4 bbl, R/T 426, R/T 440 4 bbl, or R/T 440 6 bbl. A Coronet 500 could range from mid-$20's to upper $40's/low 50's. A 440 4bbl could be mid $40's to mid $80's. A 3x2 bbl could be mid $80's to $130's. A 1968 R/T Hemi could be low $100's to $250k+. As you know, there are many variables. Also, depends upon documentation. Finding the right car with the right documentation is the first step.
 
He's got money Doug, sell him yours! :poke:

Mines an automatic so I’m out.

Ron Sannio’s old car is the only 69 440 four speed I know of that fits the bill and I don’t recall if his was numbers matching. The rest of the nice 69 RTs are automatics.

I saw a nice 69 383-4 four speed Coronet 500 in MN.

Yes, must be a 4-speed. Also, just in case anyone has a non-Mopar as a "second" car, I'm also looking for a 1970 Pontiac GTO convertible 4-speed that is in good to excellent condition, along with the documentation. I'm on the various Pontiac forums, but thought I would throw that out on this forum since you never know what has what cars in their collection. I know I'll have an easier time finding the 1970 GTO since more were produced.
 
I've been seeking out 69 R/T convertibles for over 13 years.

I know of three Hemi four speeds. Only one has the original tag; the F6 one and I don't remember if it's NOS matching or not.
I know of twelve 440 four speeds in various conditions. (scrap to fully done) Nine have the original tag.

So the 69 market will be pretty slim pickings. Ron's old B5 car (Below) is probably the best 440 out there. It was a quality restoration. Or the well traveled F6 Hemi car.

I've come across one 70 R/T 440-4 four speed in FC7.

I have one 440-6 four speed in FE5 on file but it's a remade tag even if it's legit.

Good luck.

I have a picture of the 68 Hemi Four Speed R/T vert from Canada (...somewhere....?????)

you might want to try a search in Auto Trader or similar publication. Just a thought. you can also search Mecum auctions by year, make and model as it sounds like you are a serious buyer.

I bet he already knows about those. These models in the condition he is hunting for usually move quietly between owners.

Yes, I am on all of the forums. I'm friends with John Kraman, Scott Hoke, a handful of other folks at Mecum, and they are aware of my search. Also, I've communicated with many of the restoration shops to let them know of my search. And continue to network my way through the Mopar and muscle car community. I agree that this most likely will be finding one quietly between owners. In talking on the phone with Doug last night we figure the entire pool of these cars that are available is only 10-15 cars worldwide. It is like being a detective on a cold case. One contact leads to the next which leads to the next and you think you are getting warm and then it isn't what you thought it was. However, I'm hoping with persistence, in time it will lead to the right car. I'm sure I'll find the 1970 GTO first just due to the fact that there were 1,243 produced. Thanks for everyone's input.
