Hi,
Thanks for having me. I am in Rio Rancho NM. I bought the Coronet last summer.
It's bright blue metallic, with a 318 that has been converted to 4bbl and dual exhaust, with the 3 speed automatic. It's in great condition overall, runs really well. Manual steering, manual brakes, no ac. I bought it from a seller up in Wyoming and drove it home.
Since I've had it, I have had a Hotchkiss front sway bar kit installed, along with Hotchkiss shocks all the way around. I also bought the rear sway bar kit, but it's going to require relocating the exhaust pipes before it can be installed.
I also had 17" American Racing Torq-Thrust wheels put on, to give it a mild hot rod look.
I will probably swap in a manual transmission at some point. I have an A833 overdrive from a later truck, and I also like the Tremec TKO 5 speed. Air conditioning would be nice, as would a big block. Not sure yet how far I'll take things.
Anyway, cheers all.
