New here.
Just bought a '65 Coronet 500 project. Minus motor and transmission I intend to drive it next spring.
Not a restoration... more like a resurrection.
Originally a 273/904 car it will come back from the dead with an 80's 318 with a 340 cam, factory 340 intake a new timing set and a few new gaskets.
Plus an 833 trans.
Going to patch the floor, fix some bad bondo work and buff the 58 year old paint. Might spring for a headliner and a little upholstering.
I'm too old to restore it...I will never live long enough to finish it.
I was Mopar dealer wrench from '68 until '72. MO
