It only took 37 years....

Cool find and a cool story !

Did this car have its original blue & yellow plates on it when you got it ? If so , please keep 'em .

Whereabouts in Corona are you ? I live down the 15 in Murrieta ; I have all of the a/c parts that I removed from my '72 Coronet ( compressor , receiver-drier , condenser )
a year and a half ago . I'll trade what I have to you for those stock 14x5.5" steel wheels or other parts that will fit my Coronet . PM me if you're interested .

Deal, but I have to tell you, the tires are good for rollers only. The car sat in the desert for a long time, and the tires have dry rot.
