66 Coronet 4 door barn find on the road in T.O.

[66/6Coronet]

Hi Folks,
Me and my kid pulled a 66 Coronet 440 4 door slant 6 out of a barn in Ontario, Canada in May 2017 and just did what we needed to put it on the road. It stops (more or less, 10" drums all around), and runs (has a smoking problem), and it's pretty complete and straight (still smells like mice). Anyway, had a great summer, put 2000 miles on it and look forward to more learning, wrenching, restoring and going to swap meets. Here's some shots.

NICE !! Very cool I have a fondness for Slants and 4 doors. And it's not GREEN.Found a dead mouse in the headliner of mine.Long dead but sure did stink. Had to replace the headliner any way.Welcome to the madness.

Good call, it's YY1 w/ a cheap repaint and badly faded from storage, someone did the roof white probably at the same time and it has grown on me.
I can see the original metallic bronze in the trunk and engine bay, will re-paint properly once we get all the mechanicals sorted out, cheers.
