Hello From Western New York

[Franks500]

Hi everyone -
Picked up a 67 Coronet 500 Convertible in May - 40 miles later, it spun a bearing. Rebuilt entire engine - new crank, pistons, bored .030 over. Got it running late July - ran for about 200 miles - just developed a new problem that I'll be posting. Comes with the territory of owning a 50 year old car

Welcome from Pa
I'd make a judgement call on that car and get rid of it before it drains all your accounts. All I need are GPS coordinates to pick it up, think of all the $$ and aggravation you'll save!
Seriously - good luck, and ask away- you're in the right place.

Ha!! Can't get rid of it - too much invested. It could use new paint and interior work as well. I'll get that done one winter - they're long enough here!

did you think owning an older muscle machine was going to be cheap , most had a lead footed drives for years . i alway figger its going to need running gear pro build just to make it a driver , and hotrodding is not cheap either . nice looking car although .
