OK, first I was planning on giving you guys this picture next. I figured it wouldn't give away that it was a manual transmission but would give you an idea what the car was.

I was holding back on the front picture because I knew it would give away that it was a manual transmission. But since I screwed up the second picture, I might as well show you these:
Note the plate UGLY LOL

So now that that's out of the bag, I'll give you the next piece:

Isn't that cool? A 67 Coronet 440 383 4bbl, 4spd, with AC and bench seat. Up until now, I've always said they never made a 67 b-body big block 4spd with AC.
They did it in 66 and 68. but this is the first example I've ever seen in 67. Has anyone else ever seen one before?
This car was going to be a drive train donor until I opened my big mouth. The seller has not only been a joy to deal with, but agreed it shouldn't be parted out.
It's going to be a real neat addition to my Coronet collection. I think this is going to be my favorite one. I seem to have a weak spot for unusual four speeds.

Hopefully in my lifetime, LOL.
The car has quite a bit of what I'm going to call coastal rust. The underside is almost perfect, no road salt rust, but the tops of a lot of panels are rotted through. I think it will need fenders, hood and maybe even a roof. We'll see. I can get more pictures when I actually take possession of it. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a one of one car, that's why I'm so interested in it.

Factory sway bar. It was decoded by Chrysler historical and they called it the rallye (sp) suspension package. I've never heard it called that before on a 67, but there's always something new to learn. I think it also has 11" drums and HD torsion bars too.

Front sway bars are quite common, both my '66's came with one. Is that a Canadian car Rich? It has no lower dash trim, and a clock - weird car.

Are you calling my car weird? LOL
The missing trim on the dash is, well, something else for you guys to figure out.
Go figure!
