I have a 1972 Coronet, love it, was in respectable shape by my dad backed into it with his truck 
I found a 1969 coronet 4 door on craigslist and I'm considering it. The guy is asking $1800 which I think is a little high, I might offer him $1400 and maybe he'll take 1500. He emailed me some pics and it looks mostly solid, saw a rust spot in the quarter but it's actually not as bad as the rust on my car, from what I can see in the pic anyway.
He says it needs a fuel pump, tires and an alignment and other than that claims it's pretty much ready to be a daily driver.
My car is mechanically very good, has a rebuilt 318, good brake system, new shocks front and rear, good components pretty much everywhere. Just looks like hell now that my dad backed in to it, and the rust is getting kinda bad in the quarters. I do still get complements on it all the time though
But before I decide on the 1969 I want to know what parts can be swapped out of my 72 into the 69- mechanical and interior. My interior is perfect so the more that can be swapped the better, he hasn't sent me pics of the interior on the 69 but I doubt it's as good as mine is. What about brakes and suspension? And whatever else you can think of. Thanks.
