1968 Coronet 440 original 383/727 hardtop. Bought this car in 2012 from http://www.myhotcars.com/, advertised as a Black Plate Calif. car on consignment for $17,000. It has had one repaint, the interior is original and was "blacked". The headliner is in excellent condition as well as the rest of the interior, though there is wear on the front bench seat.
Here is a link to many pics from when I purchased the car. http://s346.photobucket.com/user/Boise68/library/68 Coronet 440?sort=3&page=1
Almost all of the upgrades I have done to this car are detailed right here on FBBO at http://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/threads/here-is-whats-on-my-table.48966/
Upgrades include:
Upgraded headlight harness & Hella Halogen Lights: approx $400
Wildwood 6 piston front disk brakes & Wilwood master cylinder: approx $1,800
Boss 338 18 inch rims with Hankook tires
Suspension:approx $1500
Helwig Front Stabilizer

Engine/Converter Upgrade: $8,500
451 stroker built & dyno break-in by Valley Crankshaft (see dyno sheet in above thread "Here's what's on my table")

So not adding in wheels/tires I am into my Coronet for 29,200. My asking price is $20,000 for the car, which I believe is reasonable. I hope a Mopar brother buys it and enjoys this fantastic car as I have. I wish I could have bought this car for 20k in 2012!
I have saved parts if the buyer would like to return the Coronet to factory brakes/upper control arms/torsion bars.
I also have a collection of "RT" components that I will include if the buyer is interested. Please PM for contact info so that I may answer any questions.
