I have a 1967 coronet 500 formerly owned by John Vukovich (Passed 4 years ago) of the Philadelphia Philly’s that he purchased in 1966 with a 10k sign on bonus. I have the certi-card along with a great amount of documentation on this car that I gathered and a folder full of receipts, including Chrysler historical society report, DMV records from some previous owners and Chrysler service manuals. <br>
This is an original California car and I have personally spoken to John’s brother about the car, this is truly a one of a kind find<br>
The car has had the original 383 (126000mi) rebuilt by Book Racing http://www.bookracing.com/home.html with 700 break in miles on it. (Approx. 400hp) Flotech ceramic coated headers, starter blanket, new aluminum radiator with dual electric 10” fans and adjustable temp controller. New regulator, under hood wiring, water/fuel pumps, alternator 75A, Holley 750cfm vacuum secondary and lokar accelerator cable. Have weiand aluminum intake hasn’t been installed yet. The A833 Trans has a new Hays clutch/ pressure plate setup and clutch linkage. 8 ¾ sure grip (742 case) rear with 3.23 gears and new adjustable pinion snubber. The 2 ½” exhaust is new with thrush mufflers. New front suspension including RMS control arms, all new bushings, torsion bars, shocks, Brakes. Driveshaft has been balanced by Chicago driveline, Manual steering. Manual brakes. Inland 4 speed shifter. The interior is in very nice condition. <br>
This is not a perfect car (yet) but a work in progress that is well on its way and over 75% complete. Mechanicals are in excellent condition. <br>
The engine compartment has been freshly painted, the car still needs to have body work/paint redone. Body, frame and pans are all solid. Excellent sheet metal, not rusted through, some surface oxidation where the paint has been chipped. I have had several people at the shows comment what a solid original car this is. Car has the original vinyl top<br>
Steering is tight and straight, car launches straight, motor pulls very well thru the gears, transmission shifts smoothly. All lights and directional work as they should, heat works as it should, wipers work, but wiper motor is a 3 speed and car was originally built with a 2 speed wiper motor. Brakes are drum all around and have been rebuilt.<br>
I easily have $19,000+ tied up in the car (Just added up the receipts, and it surprised me), will take $16000 cash firm. This is a very nice mopar. Don’t need to sell, just want to get a GM <br>
I usually frequent the lemont classic cruise night at the church on bell road just north of 143rd street on Saturday evenings 6pm. (Homer Glen/Lemont area) <br>

Possible trade:
1970:1973 or 1979:1981 Camaro Z28
16000 cash
 
This is a nice car at a reasonable price. No one interested?
