I don't mind the bumper that much but I had that exact thought as well. That scoop is borderline bizarre though. It's like a teardrop/aero/cowl/bulge/pillow-under-the-covers lump.

Here's a bulge hood. Very nice color on this car, looks like F8 green. Still can't get past the extra door though.

Tony Defeo says it won't work but I disagree. He even discusses doing it on a 4 door Coronet he has (go to 2:45 in the video). The problem is he lumps the '71 Coronets in with the '68-'70 cars and says nothing can be done to make the '68-up models into a 2 door. To be clear, the '68-'70...

Just had the thought that ‘75-up Charger/Cordoba inner door structure and glass may work. Those doors would certainly be long enough. Same platform too. Or maybe C body 2 door glass.

That was my initial thought about the Charger doors, they were too dissimilar. Maybe you'd be use the inner structure and then attach the Coronet door skin to it. Like I said, the Charger door height and length should at least be in the ballpark. I also believe the front curvature of the Charger...

Right, which is why this idea is not that far fetched because the factory essentially did the same thing twice before with the same platform. So back to the conversion - maybe the 3rd gen. Charger doors would actually work. Presumably that's at least where you'd start since the length, height...

Sounds to me that you basically agree a 2 door is a better looking car than a 4 door. Or how about this - if you had to choose between the two, which would it be? Regardless, I'm just trying to explain the reasoning behind my idea of why it might be worthwhile converting a 4 door car that...

Not to get too far off topic but I wanted to use this idea as another way of looking at 'the problem' with 4 door cars which is proportion. Chrysler muscle car era station wagons look 10x better than the 4 door sedans of the same time period because the proportions look 'more right' (better)...

Yeah, maybe it's a bit of a stretch at least going by the rendering. Perhaps an LTD from that time would be closer. But the point is both have the Coke bottle shape molded into a sedan body. The front and rear overhangs are definitely similar in concept as well. Changing the angles of the tail...

Honestly, I think a bulge hood would look out of place. The rest of the car is as plain-Jane as it gets. My vote is nay. Perhaps a set of cop wheels would set it off a little. I like them in argent with trim rings and center caps or vented dog dish hubcaps. They get lost if they are black...

No. I'm not trying to offend anyone here but come on man, it's a 4 door sedan which (at least in my book) is probably the most pedestrian form of automotive transportation in existence. If car pooling, transporting prisoners or picking up fares is your thing that's OK but none of that is...

Agree 100%. I have two other cars I'd like to finish before the end of this century so unless someone else wants to run with it, this idea will have to wait. A friend of mine actually has a relatively clean '73 more door that would be the perfect candidate but he'd never agree to cut it up...

The ‘75-up cars have a totally different shape under the quarter windows. Up to ‘74 it’s more of a Coke bottle style. The later cars are slab-sided. The C pillars extend farther forward and have the opera style window. IMO The 2 door Coronet rendering actually has more in common with ‘65-‘69...

Well, that was kind of the point…

Yes, understood that converting a 4-to-2 door is an older concept but not with a '73 Coronet!

I was on the Hutchinson River Parkway in Westchester, NY the other day and came up next to this '73 Coronet 4 door dressed up like a cop car. This thing sounded pretty good too, definitely a big block rumble. (note the R/T badge on the trunk) After a few miles, they turned off at an exit behind...

:rofl:

Well regardless of whatever particular tank you wind up using, the Sniper system has become fairly ubiquitous at this point and there is a ton of support for those products; to my knowledge not so much on other brands. Sniper uses a Walbro pump which can be externally mounted, plenty of...

OK fair enough. Didn't know wagon tanks were different than regular passenger car tanks. Is there any way to install a “normal” style tank? Have to think the chassis would be pretty similar to a coupe/sedan?

Yep. Sell the NOS tank and get an EFI-ready one from Tanks, Inc. with an in-tank fuel pump, easiest way to go. I’d look at a Holley Sniper system, probably the most straightforward update system available.
