It is with some regret that I am posting the news that I have listed my Coronet in the For Sale section. On the positive side it's sale will allow me to keep a promise that I made. Enough said about that. I just want to thank all who post on FBBO and share their knowledge and their person...

1968 Coronet 440 original 383/727 hardtop. Bought this car in 2012 from http://www.myhotcars.com/, advertised as a Black Plate Calif. car on consignment for $17,000. It has had one repaint, the interior is original and was "blacked". The headliner is in excellent condition as well as the rest...

Dang me dang me, take me out and hang me. Just got back from 900 miles with the 68Coronet, started unpacking the trunk and ooops, "Did I just lock my only keys in the trunk"? So I am thinking take the back seats out. Got the back bench out but I am unfamiliar with removing the rear seat...

Thanks to whomever spread the glitter on my membership. Now where's that blue room...Really thanks a bunch whoever is responsible.:headbang:

Crankshaft- It is forged! Looking at this ad for a 440 crankshaft, the owner is calling it cast but it sure looks forged with the rounded counterweights. Any thoughts?

I picked up this 400 last weekend, with the option of another if the block is not salvageable. It was stored inside for the last 20 years and still had oil on the cam and lifters beneath all the dust. First surprise came when I tried to loosen the crank bolt to remove the damper. The...

The intent was to go look at the advertised 400 shortblock. First thing I see is a nice old D100 that certainly could be restored. Pulled up to the shed where I hear someone working, but I cannot take my eyes off the 1969 Coronet wagon, grille and all panels intact. So I go over to the...

Thinking about a conversion to a manual transmission? Do I go with mopar 4 speed, or jump to a 5 speed? Any key points from those that have made the conversion? Does this look like a reasonable price for a mopar setup...

Going to add a tachometer (I know it's an automatic) to look at actual rpm's under certain conditions. My coronet has the basic instruments, so thinking about a steering column mounted version, smaller. Any suggestions brands to look at, brands to avoid. Thanks ahead.

My original problem was engine stumbling at higher revs, and then total loss of fuel delivery. Changed to a new mechanical in a parking lot, still no fuel to the carb. Bought an el cheapo electric fuel pump (O'Reilly's) and installed rerouting the fuel lines right at the mechanical fuel pump. I...

Picked up this 489 rear from Craigslist, it had been on a 1970 roadrunner. The configuration seems odd in that the calipers are mounted front on one side, and to the rear on the other. Wondering if I could adapt these caliper mounting brackets to my 68 Coronet. The axles have tapered...

Beginning the build of my 68 Coronet cruiser project that may see time at the Silver State Challenge 2014. I am determined to accomplish some upgrades while keeping it on the road. Starting with suspension upgrade, to date is Hotchkis rear leaf and fox shocks. Up front Helwig 1 1/8...

After 38 years of driving pickups, I searched for a car like I had in high school. No original thought here. :) I found this 68 Coronet 440 last summer down in CA and after 2 months of phone calls sealed a deal. I trailered it, 14 hours, from Dublin, CA, that awesome 68 profile filling the...
