Finally, a desireable MOPAR ragtop near me

[mdh157]

unfortunately, it's not a C, and needs lots of work underneath, and he still wants more than 10K for it

i'd like to go look at it tomorrow, but if my wife saw it she might kill me before the car ever gets home. I absolutely love the body style though. were it more solid underneath or I a welder, I'd be bidding.

Nice car but it's not a SuperBee or an R/T. It's a Coronet 500 convertible, which is a nice car too. A 440 will make it a really nice car!

been looking at the auction list for carlisle.......a few slabs have popped up on it, but no fuseys

Nothing wrong with that Coronet 500 rag top. You put in a 440/727 in a weekend.

 

[mdh157]

yes, but look at it underneath.....not good

 

[mdh157]

this is a lot nicer, and not that much more $$:

You're right! It's a lot better. I would leave the 318 in this one.

Dave, that Coronet 500 vert would look so cool next to your Polara vert!!!!

 

[polara71]

Why yes it would

I am a sucker for the burnt orange in and out! That second one without all the rust is sweet. Decent deal if you're looking for a keeper and you may get him to take 12.5K for it.

and you don't? almost every car guy has a heavy foot at one point or another

i'm ready to buy it and drop a crate 360 in there

Matt, your ideas are not helping here............and it has been for sale for awhile

That's a turn key cruiser. As nice and original as that is, I would leave it as is....18/19 mpg.
