Not an A-Body but still a cool mopar

[dmaccons]

Here is the new project I just picked up. I thought you all would like it even though its not an A-Body.
1958 Dodge Coronet. Incredibly solid car with virtually no rust and still wearing its original body panels. It had one repaint in its life. Has a freshly rebuilt 354 poly with a pushbutton automatic. All the trim is there and all the glass is decent. Runs and drives but needs a little TLC to make safe(brakes,suspension,steering etc). Not sure what the plan is for this one in the long run. Short term just gonna get it going safely down the road and drive it a little.

Awesome car and great color scheme!

Looks as though you immediately installed the royal lancer spear on the fin?
Coronets get those too?

 

[RustyRatRod]

Very cool car!

 

[Dartnut]

I haven't seen you on here for a long time, do you still have the Barracuda?
The car you just got looks like a lot of fun too!

Nice.Watch out, I bought a 59 4dr Fury yrs ago because the price was right. It’s now what I call ‘ My Fun Car’. Enjoy!

Yeah the holes were already there and the spears were in a box of stuff that came with it. Not sure but I think it had them from factory.

His Barracuda is a dandy as well!

Thanks Steve!! Searched for a long time to find one this solid. I am still in awe at how well preserved the sheet metal is. Heavy undercoating protected it. Worse part is removing the undercoating!!! Not my favourite job for sure!! Better than doing rust repair though!!

US car? Yeah undercoating is a must for these old dinosaurs to survive.

Love that cuda
Miss my 67 fastback
Your cuda is pretty much identical to the color in wanting to paint my D250.
On the Coronet I didn't think the front end of those looked that much like the front end of a Fury. ("Christine") but I guess they do
