69' Coronet Conv.

[Wahoo1]

I've got a 69' Coronet convertible that I'm trying to clean up a bit. It's a very solid car, just in need of some minor dent and ding repair and some fresh paint. I'm having problems finding some trim parts I need, first would be the chrome molding which goes along the edge of the well that the top folds down into, te one that would have the snaps on it for the boot. I'm also trying to find a set of the c-shaped chrome trim pieces that go in the little indents in the rear quarters, kind of where the scoops would be on a superbee. If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it.

Thanks, Brian

if you get the correct boot that has the hooks , you wont ruin your moldings with snaps also .

I would go with the correct boot, and the c shaped chromed part you asked about are 1968 only parts, but they will fit 69 models.

Those are 1968 Coronet 500 specific.

The 69 Super Bee had nothing there standard, other than the all models Coronet indent, but they offered the fiberglass simulated side scoops on the Bee and R/T.
