New Member Greatings from Lockport NY - 1967 Coronet R/T owner
#1
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 !!

Welcome from western NY.
It's nice to have a fellow NY'er join the DCR.
If your going to the swap meet and show at the fair grounds, let me know
I plan on attending and may be we could hook up.
That's if these fellow members haven't filled you in about me.
Remember, don't believe nothing that you hear and only half of what you see. LOL
All kidding aside, this is a great bunch of guy's and of coarse our very own Jenn FAFA.

I'll definitely be out there. Will look you up. Need to pick your brain about a couple things RE: Carb set up, who's good with torqueflites and rears around here, etc. Any thoughts on the build sheet?
