Hey, I'm relatively new to the muscle car scene as an owner. Growing up, I always loved the look of the late 60's, early 70's Mopars. All of my friends in HS had muscle cars (all varieties), but I was on a different focus with playing guitar, going to college, etc. Now I'm at a point in my life where I can afford to go back to my childhood and own some of the cars I loved back then. A few years ago I bought a '69 Roadrunner, 383/4-speed. Absolutely fell in love with everything about it......sound, sight, and smell......nothing like the smell of an old muscle car! Then, on a whim (maybe to assure the money I had would get spent on a car), I bought a '66 Coronet. It wasn't what I really wanted, but it was very cool - lots of HP, loud, obnoxious and tons of fun. Just last week, I traded it for a '69 Coroner R/T with a 440 (real 440 r/t) needing restoration. VIN WS23L9A284845. This is my car I will restore to it's original glory (it's not bad looking, but needs work). I decoded it and it is surprisingly original. T5 Metallic Copper, buckets, console, white vinyl top and stripe. The next few years are going to be a blast, getting it to where I want it to be. I'm not a mechanic or body person, but I will do the interior myself and do as much as I can in the restoration. Would love to find a broadcast sheet for it.
Looking forward to learning a lot from all of the resources here.
Dave

damn sweet looking car to start with. nice photos . did I mention Cool Color?

I agree. I'm ecstatic it is the original color (not original paint - that was done in '94)! My lack of skills require a decent starting point! Hopefully do some interior work this winter - seat covers, restore the gauges, clean and touch-up console and dash.
