what would you do with this car? need your opinion . 1965 dodge coronet 2 door post

What I find interesting is it has 440 style tail lights and a 500 style tail panel. Did post cars come with that tail panel, seems like an expensive piece for a low dollar optioned car. JMO
I would love to have that car to restore and build a sleeper. 431 stroker!

This car is from Maine so it might be worth 1000.00 if you gt lucky. remember you have a great deal of corrosion to resolve!

rust or not, those are mega hard to come by here in Ohio, a lot of Norwalk racers would love to get their hands on it, guessing from what I've seen, here, it would sell for $1800 to $2500, only based on the pics from what I've seen

There's one thing about any of these cars, they appreciate in value. If you would just happen to pay too much for one, give it some time and it will work out. You all know "post" cars are very desirable!

i would gut it and put it back together exactly the way it is. I would upgrade the suspension and plant a 426 cross-ram wedge in there.... Right down to the hubcaps.....

yup!

If major reconstruction is req'd, altered wheelbase.

Some one either replaced the deck lid or put the 500 finish panel on it! Sedans did not come with the cast piece! only the stamped alum. one!

As in another 10 years it will be a nothing but glass and some cores not worth the haulage if the rust continues.... or worth the storage fees.... not all cars appreciate with time... 5-10 years ago with 1/2 the rust and with the motor together last time it ran it would be worth 8- 10 grand now because it is barely salvageable 1 grand... it is what it is .... but if Hemirebel wants to pay 5 grand for it and post weekly photos of the progress to turn it into his $100k wet dream... I will pay the trucking to his door.... In Lisbon Maine John Crafts does a transport cars all over the 48state's usually bringing them up from the south.....

And...
Just because this guy is 13 don't mean anything.. my assessment was fair... he didn't like my humour some do some don't but I don't baby no one... now I notice it's come down from 4-5 grand to more what's it worth..... which answers the question ...

That's what I suspected.
