I've got a 65 coronet with a bench seat and the shifter on the steering column. I found a guy near me that is selling bucket seats and a center console out of a 65 coronet 500. The seats and console are in pretty rough shape. There is also no hardware. The seats do not have the rails, and the...
I am pretty sure that I am going to go the magnum route on my coronet (unless something happens to fall in my lap between now and the time I'm ready to start forcusing on the drive train).
The magnum motors a fairly cheap, they are easy to find, and from everything I've read it looks like...
All of that is very good info... thanks
Is a 998 TF a pretty common and easy to find trans? Is there any easy way to identify a 998? Should I be searching junk yards for 82-87 2wd drive pickups?
Wow... your coronet is in a lot better shape than mine. Yours is also a 500 which means that you probably have the bucket seats and the floor console shifter... I am most jealous
I think I over paid for this car. The guy was originally asking $3000, but I was able to talk him down to $1500. Its crazy how expensive these old cars have become. Not that long ago this would have been a car that a person would have had a hard time giving away. But $1500 was a screaming deal...
I've been giving some thought about going this route.
The only thing is that by the time I buy the motor, rebuild it, and put all the necessary conversion parts on it. I'm not sure if it'll be any cheaper then just buying a crate motor.
But on the other hand buying a magnum motor and...
The shifter is on the steering column, and the parking brake cable goes to the rear axle.
Do you know if the original trans for this car would be a 904 or a 727? I've ran the numbers on the fendor tag and all I can come up with is that it was born with a 3 speed auto. I also cant find any info...
Thanks for the advise. I uploaded a couple photos
The problem I'm running into with finding a parts car is that everyone with a 1975 and older car thinks that it is worth its weight in gold. I dont want to pay $3500 for a rusted out 72 4dr dart with a donor v8 that I still have to build
I picked up a 65 coronet 440. The car is missing the drivetrain. According to the fender tag this car was born with a 318 poly and 3 speed automatic.
I'm a long way away from needing to worry about the drivetrain, but I would like to have somewhat of a plan formulated for when I get to that...
Your 67 r/t will definitely be the cooler of the two cars.
I have to admit that when we got the car home and I started to go over EVERYTHING that is going to need to be done on this car I got very overwhelmed, and was struck with a case of buyers remorse... but the only way this project will...
Hello from Washington State.
My teenage son and I decided to take the plunge into buying our first project car that the two of us can fix up together as a father and son project. After going out and looking at a bunch of project cars for sale in our area we finally decided to buy a 65 Coronet...
