Great Coronet, what year? My dad bought a '71 new and I loved driving that car w/ 318! What would you say they are selling for these days? Thanks!

I'm not a big Coronet fan but I never seen this kind actually, I was actually interested in getting a four door "muscle" car besides a wagon and I think I know what kind i'm getting now...

I never saw one either until I bought one. The price was right and the mileage was low, and she could be for sale if the right $ was offered..

4 doors are coming into their own. Still had room for a variety of V-8's, and more importantly, insurance rates ( where I live ) are cheaper. Good luck and keep posting updates . !

My mom had that car followed by a 1973 Fury . Both cars were the colour of yours .
Lots of room in backseat I remember as a kid ..

It's truly vast all around... when people I work with ask about it and comment on it's size, I remind/inform them of the yacht-like c-bodies, and that Stella is in fact a "mid sized" car from the 70s, because America!

The more I fiddle with the car the more I'm finding bondo and paint issues.... the front of this car isn't as original as once thought....

Game on for Modifications to commence in my opinion..

Its set in stone once I have cash saved up with my next vehicle will be 1973 coronet, 1967 fast back barracuda or a dodge power wagon... but may be its just me just putting a shaker hood and scoop on the coronet would look badass...
I just cant get this car out of my head, but id maybe drop a 340 c.i. in...

The more you fiddle and fix things you will always find "problems", it will always be that way no matter what HAHAHA

Had the week off and been attending to some of Stellas needs lol lotta little stuff that needed tweaking. Here's where I'm at;

EVERY light now works, dome, courtesies, map, signals, markers, instruments panel, everything, even down to the light in the column that shines on the ignition. It all works now.

Fixed the leak in the trans that I made happen last year by changing the NSS that didn't need changing.

Installed a license plate light up front to showcase my custom front plate at evening car shows.

Installed a 3rd brake light because every time I drive her someone nearly rearends it because of the taillight location in a world of clueless SUV drivers.

Bought a new Grant steering wheel and horn button to rid myself of the spindly stock steering wheel.

New plug wires because the Accel super stock wires she came with were ugly and causing misfires.

Made the R/T "conversion" complete with the badges installed.

ScatPack bees in the rear windows and a Pentastar on the right front fender.

Pictures to come soon!
