1969 Dodge Coronet 440
318/Auto
Owned 2001
   

Well, this is one of those right place, not really the best time situations.  On the way home from work one Friday, I made my weekly stop by the one local high-turnover boneyards.  The guys there know I'm a Mopar guy, and told me about this "Lime Green 69 Road Runner" that just came in.  I take the walk back to the "old cars" section, and find this 69 Coronet shell sitting there.  I take a quick look over it, and find good floor pans, nice inner fenders, and a decent pair of quarter panels.  WOW.  Looks like it was somebody's parts car that they dumped when they were finished, since there were no unboltable sheetmetal left on the car.  $575 later, it's delivered Saturday morning.

After I got it home...

 

A quick shot of the driveway... you can see 6 B-bodies...  when does a hobby become an addiction?

 

With no title, and no need for another project, this car isn't long for this world.  Though parted out is a much better fate for this car than the crusher would have been.  Anybody need any 69 Coronet parts?
