Hey Guys, New To The Forum, Cause I Just Got Me a 1968 Coronet 500.
Just Wanted To Know What You Experts Thought And Such, I Got An Unrestored 1970 Dart Back Home, So Im New To B Bodies, This Has Been My Dream Car Since I First Got Into Mopars Because Of My Lucky $500 Dollar Dart And It's Been A Passion Ever Since, Im Happy TO Say I Got My Dream Car At 22yrs Old This is My Second Mopar Ive Given TO Myself A Week Before And After My Birthday. So im actually wondering if i got a good deal? how much would you have paid for this? Complete drivetrain. (the 318 is seized though) and where do you think i should start? Here are some pics of where it sat and at my house the day after when i began to gut the interior.. (the last pic is of my dart back in san diego the one who started the mopar craze)

Welcome to bbodies! Im not a good guess-er when it comes to saying whats worth what.. I worry myself mostly about how good or just how bad the undercarriage is. You have some work ahead of you but from these pictures the body does look fairly solid. Looks like it had a vinyl top on it and the roof looks solid, i think your off to a good start, Good luck with it, hope you'll keep us updated on your progress...

welcome.as a rule we don't like to say what we think you should've paid for a car. Somebody might have paid $500 and somebody might have paid $1500.the main thing is that YOU were happy what you paid for it.all i can say is have fun with it whatever your plans are.

I'm really a terrible guesser, so I won't bother, but I will say congratulations on buying your dream car!
I was lucky enough to buy my own dream car, my 69, in September of last year.
While I've had more time to work on it than you, you've already accomplished more than me, so good for you!
Keep up the good work and you'll have it restored in no time!

Welcome to the site from the Motor City! I must have missed this thread when originally posted, nice find. '68s are my favorite and I love a good project.
