1968 CORONET RT 440 MAGNUM parked for 40 years

[@waynetaylor8082]

That 68 tail treatment is the coolest of the 1968-70 Coronets. GOOD LUCK with her!!!

I’ll post videos as the jobs goes along

Serious gem! I had a friend back in school that bought one that was rigged for the track. That was the fastest I ever went in a car. What an unreal ride that was. He ended up taking the race engine out and dropped a small block in it to drive around. He did keep the race motor.

This car drives better than any Mopar I’ve driven it really surprised me

[@michaelahenriksson8854]

Love it😊👍👍

[@dirtlump]

You get that 440 fired up and if it's still original/un-rebuilt and hitting on all 8.... then you may be in for a shock ? I've got a '69 R/T 440/auto/column.... survivor, un-rebuilt, and just say'in here.... pretty damn impressive even by today's standards. The thing is a frigg'in rocket far beyond it's brakes/suspension, and the column shift is FINE BY ME because you need two hands on the wheel to keep it on the road even just left in "D" ! I've been using just a touch of 2 stroke Oil in the 91 Octane fuel, like 100 ml to a full tank every 2n tank or so for the V/Seats, and lotsa zinc in the Oil for the flat tappets, timing back at 2* BTDC and shut it off 'in gear' to prevent run-on. I don't whoop on it very often.... but still pretty impressive when tasked.

That sounds pretty cool I can’t wait to hear this one pop off

@@EverythingHorsepower For an old stock deal they were actually pretty decent ?

Love the car. I know it’s a year later vut you have probably already figured out that the trunk lid is a holy grail part for the one year model 68 Coronet. I have the same car in my garage, all original. Thankfully my trunk lid is pristine. I look forward to watching your prigress etc. excellent find.

[@EverythingHorsepower]

I have a trunk lid that cost me as much as I’ve paid for some decent cars I’ll have a rust repair video coming out on the car in the next couple of weeks

[@bbrown5887]

@@EverythingHorsepower lucky that you found one for sure. That’s a grrat project and I’m looking forward to your updates. I have a bulge hood that’s got some damage but not in the bulge area that I’m cutting out to install on a pnother regular that I have. for another. The latch area is good as well if you end up in a pickle with your repair.

Nice car must have been special order bench seat column shift instead of the buckets and console which come with the R/T cars. 👍

[@EverythingHorsepower]

It’s not really a bench it has flip up centre piece that when flipped up makes a bench it’s definitely different

[@jerrymcever3932]

@@EverythingHorsepower Yeah I've built alot of these mopars back in the day and this is the way they built thier bench seats. I built a 69 charger had the same bench seat and shifter on column. But I built a plum crazy purple charger had the console and buckets and with 318 originally it's the way customers ordered them. Just that yours being a RT it's odd to have column shift and bench seat musta been specially ordered that way. Your Vin plate could give you some answers. 👍 If you need some original b-body parts I may have them also glass too it was my left over parts from my builds.

[@jerrymcever3932]

@@EverythingHorsepower oh the build sheet if it's still there it's under the rear seat in the back it'll tell you everything about your build.

@@jerrymcever3932 what I need the most is a trunk lid if you can help me with that

I have a trunk lid available, in Dayton Ohio.

I found one locally it was a fortune but we grabbed it as soon as we found it . Thanks though for thinking of us

Hey nice car I knew he also had a Daytona charger on that land don’t know if it’s still there I’m in Quebec so I’ve seen that one never knew he had this one also

[@EverythingHorsepower]

I think you must be thinking of a different car this one sat in Sutton since the day it was sold out of the Sutton dodge dealership and I never knew of this gentleman owning another muscle car
