Thanks for the add My father purchased a 70 Coronet 500 (engine and tranny deleted) back in 1988 with plans to breath new life into it. Well it just made the trek to my garage to continue the project where he left off 20 years ago. It needs some body work but is in overall great condition. Low mileage Michigan car, a little rust but not bad over all. The white bucket seats were refreshed along with the headliner. The normal rust in the rear corners of the vinyl top was fix and new vinyl top put on. Has a donor 72 318. Runs but all the brake juice is current found its way to my garage floor. Good reason to do that front disc conversion.

Welcome and congrats on inheriting the old mans project...So what are "your" plans for it? Or do you have to keep it true to your father vision for it?

I knew there would be a debate. I should have said the 2 single scoops.

Thanks . His words as he handed me the title was make it your dream. Keeping it the original red for sure, but may go towards an RT vibe. Have most of the RT trim if I want to that way. Staying with air and auto for a nice summer cruiser.
