Great looking ride
That is the color scheme my wife picked out for the 66 we just picked up

The color combo and the factory air part is why I bought it.
I am convinced the car is a legit 61k mile car.
The original spare is still in the trunk , a 7.75-14 Good year Power Cushion whitewall
Edited to correct size

Nice '67. Sounds like it's in good hands. Drive the wheels off it, with the a/c blowing cold, all summer long.

Keep the spare away from a tire store... They will attempt to take it and destroy it as its "unsafe"....

I would think a 1967 Coronet would have come from the factory with 14" rims and tires, unless optioned with something else. Tire code on build sheet or fender tag would tell.

I just had mine at the tire shop on Friday for inspection. Steering and suspension inspection was good but found a fluid leak at the pump. Replacing the shocks next week.

I'm afraid mine has snowballed beyond that. ,,,Just a little bit lol
I was down to the engine alone in the eng. compartment. When I found a freeze plug leaking in the pass side head.
I was bellhsg bolts away from just lifting it out a make said plug A LOT easier.
So , here we are.

Man, you are really moving along. The only thing I've managed to do on improvements is wash it and replaced a few light bulbs. You're making me feel like quite the slug, hahaha.

Thanks.
But Arizona summer is coming. ,,,,,quickly
I bought this car because it has A/C . So I want to take advantage of that and give my Satellite a rest for a bit this summer
I love this car. I would have to agree with the condition this is in, it would be showing original mileage. Very cool find and glad it went to a good home. Engine is looking good as well. Where are you picking up the condenser from?
I hope to do a road trip sometime like Hawkrod is doing now. I'd like to see these 2 cars in person.
My shop is getting closer to being done and ready for project work to begin. I can't wait to get the brakes sorted on my 66. Keep at it, can't wait to see the finished product.
