So I was digging through my records and found my notes I jotted down in a binder of a car I tried to buy back in the mid 90's. I tried to buy it just after I got my 68 Coronet convertible out of body and paint, was upset about what I'd paid and thought I'd use it instead to restore a more valuable car.
The car I tried to buy was a 1968 Coronet R/T Hemi/auto convertible, Silver with a Red interior, 3.23 sure grip, PS, PB, buckets, console, am 8-track, 15x7 stamp steelies with caps.
Car was located just outside Springfield and was owned by a guy named Dave and he'd owned it for only about a year when I spoke with him. He bought it from a man in Iowa who snagged it from the back lot of Chevy dealership. Needed a complete resto, trunk, floors, quarters, interior, etc and he was asking $16K with no motor or tranny.
I had someone go look at it for me, can't recall who now...but the person said for that money it was not worth it without a motor and tranny so I passed....we I'll be darned if that's not the car at the 5 minute mark of this video!!
