Hello. This is my first writing here, and sorry my bad english...i try the best I can:)

I´ve had this Dodge Coronet 500 convertible 1965 since 1999.
I think it is the only one here in Finland. It was originally 318 poly + automatic, now it has a 383, stroked to 496, and it Will be Four-the-floor, i bought an A-833 couple months ago.
Rear is 3,23 sure grip. Its not a museum car, it has a disc brakes in front, and of course, not an original engine and trans. But i try to keep it externally "original looking"
Maybe Indy heads, big Voodoo cam, 850 Demon..headers of cource..
i try to write you how this project is gonna go in future:thumbsup:

I know, 3165 these are made, but how rare this is in USA nowadays?

Maybe picture or two if ican.. Vesku

Welcome! Nice car you have, and a nice shop too. I can't recall seeing a 500 convertible for quite some time. There are some 440 models around. I can think of 2 that I know of, but no 500's.

Look forward to your progress on the car. Thanks for posting!
 
Welcome from Michigan. Very nice Coronet you have.:drinks:
 
welcome to the site,could you post some more pics.
 
Welcome aboard from NJ. Very nice Coronet! It looks like you have Keystone Classic mag wheels, sweet! Best of luck with it. You have found the best B Body site on the web. I am sure you will find lots of help from the good folks here.
:thumbsup:

Yes, i like those Keystone Classics too, but 14" size tires are getting hard to find, at least here in Finland
