Up for sale is my 1968 Coronet 440. Car is located in my climate-controlled garage in Stamford, CT about an hour north of NYC. Clear CT title in my name, current State of CT. registration. This is 1 of 934 big block 440 trim cars produced that year. It's basically a Super Bee without the graphics. I've owned the car since 2018. I bought it out of Quebec, Canada though it was a US market car built in November of 1967. This car was originally equipped with a bench seat and column shift 727 but is now a bucket seat console 4 speed. Comes with a build sheet.
There is no rust on this car. The previous owner restored the body and paint in the unique and rare '68-only QQ1 medium blue metallic. There were some patches welded in before it was painted but the panels are still mostly original. I have pictures of the process the P.O. sent me before I bought it if anyone is interested. There is no evidence of it ever having been in an accident. The paint has some flaws but it's otherwise very clean and presents well. I get a lot of compliments wherever I take it and it always stands out.
Over the last few years, this car has received a lot of "upgraded" parts if you will including a complete-front-to-back rewire, all new front and rear suspension and converting the car to Holley Sniper EFI. These modifications were done mostly to enhance the car's drivabilty and/or durability which I'm happy to say had the desried effect. I also went to great lengths to keep everything as original looking as possible so at first glance it looks like stock resto. Most people do not even notice the EFI under the air cleaner unless I point it out. Reagdless, I can describe everything that was done in excruciating detail for perspective buyers but let's just say the only things that have been left alone are the paint and body, the original short block and the rear axle.
This car is an above-average driver. It runs and handles good and presents very well. The interior is clean and comfortable. It gets driven regularly in good weather including frequent trips of 50+ miles. I would not be afraid to drive this car anywhere.
Should anyone want to put it back into it's original configuration, the car will come with all the take-off parts I have for it including the numbers-matching 727.
Asking $50K.
Please PM me here with any questions. Sorry, no trades so please do not ask.
Thanks,
Greg
