I bought a 69 Coronet 500 in 1988 for $200 had to tow it home, bought my H code swinger in 1993, one had to go. B Body had frame rail rot in the left rear trunk area, inches from where the shackle bolted in. That influenced my decision to let it go, however now I wish Id kept it and fixed the frame rot. I was 19 when I bought it, not much welding skills back then..I agree now the 70 looks as good as any, and i wouldnt shy away from one mow(the 70)
