Finally got a Mopar again after a 30+ year break. Last one was a 77 Monaco Police car....long gone. Just picked up this 72 Coronet. Not a real police cruser, but was used as a movie/TV car by a previous owner. Nothing special under the hood: stock-ish 318/Performer intake & cam/Edelbrock 1406 carb. Guy I bought it from installed new carpet, dash pad & seat upholstery. Looks grandma-fresh! Future plans? Rust repair around rear window & c-pillar, freshen up front suspension & dual exhaust...

Welcome from North Carolina. We love the "more doors" here. You definitely need an old "gumball" police light.

Some cars look good as a 4 door, for sure. The car actually came with a red gumball light powered by rechargeable RC car batteries.

That's good to know, thanks! Been a GM owner mostly for a long time, so I'm just starting the learning curve
