I am not a Chevy guy, nor a truck guy, but for some strange reason, I liked this this....View attachment 345441 View attachment 345442 View attachment 345443 View attachment 345444

I think I know what that strange reason is.--at least for me--
Things like this draw me too at car shows and I ask myself--why--?

They are real--they are clean--they don't flex a bicep.--
What they speak is the passion someone has about the motoring history we grew up with.---The fun side of the hobby.---Maybe the primary reason we all are here in the first place.??

I like this view best for the 70 coronets.
My bias is -my- handycap.

Wow i still think 70 Coronets are pretty ugly! Sorry. But some guys like sweaty fat women. Who am I to judge.

You just did.
As for me, I'll reserve my negative comments about cars for Fords and Chevies. I stand in solidarity with my fellow MOPAR owners.

I will say that the 70 Coronet is far better looking than the 61 Valiant.

It looks like "the car of the future". I like it.

A 70 coronet 4 door with skinny rear tires is pretty homely IMO.

Put 10" wide or larger tires on the back, sport hood (either one) and a monochrome paint job in HIP colors, and it's a totally different story. Seems to scream "jet fighter".

If it has a penta star I like it as long as it 1973 back

O K so i'm worped. the 61 valiant is cool! ha

the 70 coronet's grill AT NIGHT takes on the look of an angry monster! a snarl! ugly? maybe... cool? for sure!!!!! give me one with big honking pistol grip sticking out of the floor!!!! yes! B3 blue?

What if she was fat and looked like this? How many body and head bags would we need?

It sold for $35k too...

 

[Richard Cranium]

From what I saw on the "sold" stickers, there were a lot of cars that had sold in the high 28-38 range & many of them were pretty darned nice. You certainly couldn't build many of those cars for that kind of money.

if the 70's can drive like she could sing ,I don't see a problem

Love the grill, no matter what others think and say about it. Thanks for sharing your picture of this beautiful car.

We had a 60' an a 62' in my family years ago. I read somewhere that the styling came from the big cars of these years. I prefer the 62'. I have looked for one, but a good one shows up when I'm unable to buy. Rust was a factor in these cars not surviving.
