Thought I would share a link to my UK forum where a few guys meet up with another member over in Denver and trek off for a few miles. The Meeting with the chaps from Graveyard cars was particularly interestin I thought.

About 20 years ago I found a build sheet in the rear seat of my Coronet 500 convertible that's for a Coronet R/T convertible. The sheet is not in the best of condition but still legible. I posted it on several sites offering it for free if the owner can prove they have the car. Over the years I have had about 5 or 6 inquiries, but none had a VIN that matched the sheet I have. Either the wrong sheet ended up in my car, or the seat came from a parted R/T & the car is long gone, but just in case the car still exists & you're missing your build sheet, send me the VIN for your car & if it matches you can have the sheet for free.

Send me a PM here or an email with build sheet in the subject to oldmoparz2 "at" yahoo.com

Here is the title for Lauri's blue R/T that turned out to be a lemon. We were dreaming of having a red white and blue set of `67 R/T 4-speeders, and this one was on a lot so we bought it. Not knowing a whole lot about cars we got taken for a ride. Come to find out it was a total and they chopped it up and welded it back together in the worst way, after we saw that we decided to part it out instead of selling it to someone. I took the whole dash and most anything good in it and put in Max since it still all burned up from fire.

Then we posted it for parts and a guy wanted whole thing to make a race car out of so that was an easy sale and both were happy since he was not concerned with bad repairs since he was going to cage it. I know Rich is cringing when I say chopped , race car, cage in same sentence as `67 R/T but these were all over back then and didn't think twice about it. Why I still have title ?? I can't remember why.

So what happened to it after that I would like to know now, I hope it got restored and owner will see the VIN pop up and we can chat. That what I hope I find about Max more someday. I keep searching.

Replaced the seized fan clutch. I had a hard time finding one that would fit due to the Summit radiator I'm running. I'm not sure where I got the one I was using but I couldn't find any part number on it and the suggested ones were too long. I found a link to Hayden that has all the dimensions and went with a 2705 that fit nicely.

Hello fellow Coronet owners

I have bought a ´67 500 at an internet auction. She has a 273 c.i. engine. This is an unmolested ride. Fortunately the car looked way worse that it really is on the Ebay photos, so there was little competition for the winning bid. I live in Iceland and in addition to the Coronet, I have three other Mopars; amongst them a ´66 Charger with a 451.ci engine that I built. I drag race that machine with a best of 11.79 @111 mph on regular tires (i.e. non-soft compound). The Charger was imported new to Iceland. The rule of tumb is that anything you buy in the U.S. will have cost you double the U.S. market price, when shipping, custom fees and excise tax has been added to the purchase price. But, when beautiful Mopars show up; my wallet sometimes opens with disatrous consequences for the wallet but pleasant ones for me.


Regards, Ragnar in Iceland

Hello,

Just recently picked up a 1967 Coronet 500 out of Texas. It is a 318, AT car with 71K original miles. Body is solid, but missing trunk letters and side trim (ouch!). Looking forward to participating on the site.

Howdy All,

I am planning (best laid plans....) to do my trunk pan before I put her up for our lovely New England winter. The mat is torn so I've ordered another. I figure I'll go ahead and vacuum, wire brush, vacuum, clean, rustproof spray and then the spatter spray - then cover up all my hard work with the new trunk mat ;-)

Questions are: Anybody done this, any gotcha's? (seems pretty straightforward). Any suggestions on brands and colors of spatter (I kinda just like saying spatter, btw)? # of cans of rustproofing and spatter spray? My math works out to about 4 cans, sound about right?

As always thank you for any thoughts and I'll post pix once I get started.

Dear Folks Who Know All About These Fascinating Cars,

As you'll see in the pix below my washer bottle is tired and cracked. Works fine as long as I don't fill it. Question, the one I found in the link below says for "A-Body" but the model # is the same. Assume it's the same but can anyone confirm?

Also, anyone ordered from R/T Specialties? Good/bad experience? Thank you for any thoughts.
