Hello everyone from Lockport NY. I will be posting pictures of my recently acquired bone stock original 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T shortly.
As my research continues I have found that this car was originally purchased by a gentleman for his wife in back 1969 at a bank auction for appx $600.00.
She drove this car as the grocery getter / daily driver wherein it was placed up on blocks in a barn back in 1975. There is sat, sometimes started and romped up n down the street accumulating a scant 68K over the past 45 years.
In 2010 the owner passed and the car was sold as part of the estate to a local who did nearly nothing to it.. Came in my posession about a week ago.
All numbers match on this Lynch Road cruiser. Block, manifolds, body etc all coded within a few weeks of each other with completion in April-67. Its a B body mopar so it has a few body issues but nothing to concerning. Floors, trunk, window lips etc,etc all solid
A few of the goodies are missing but I will come to find them over time. Dual snork had been replaced over time and the winshield wiper resevior / etc is gone. A newer radiatior had been installed but I have access to original... Thats it!
I started process of looking for the build sheet. Have checked under all seats, rear seat back as well as behind glove box compartment. I am eager to find if remnants exist but I do not wish to touch the headliner as it is in perfect shape. Any other thoughts where to look? The carpet will need to be replaced so I guess thats the next logical spot..
Will be relying on the seasoned MOPAR diehards to help me through on its re-birth... Best Regards to all !!
