Cool 1969 Dodge Coronet R/T convertible that showed up at our local car show.

Cool 1969 Dodge Coronet R/T convertible that showed up at our local car show. The owner had bought one of the first ones after returning from Viet Nam in about 1968. He eventually sold it. Missing it all these years, he decided to buy another at the age of 77. He was telling me that there were only about 20 of these made. He figures he probably had one of the first ones ever built. Cool story and car.

Awesome car ! Awesome story !

I wonder if his original one was yellow as well?
Reminds me of the time I had my 69 Hemi GTX at a show and a guy shows up and told me he had one just like it when it was almost new. Of course it was his old car as they aren't exactly common.

I think there were more than 20 unless it's a Hemi.

I think there were more than 20 unless it's a Hemi.

There were 437, 10 were Hemis, according to Illustrated Mopar Buyer's Guide, Peter Sessler, 1989.

I going to claim "closest to the pin" on that, then.

Same colour as the Super Bee coupe that I bought new in 1969. Beautiful car!

This one was heading for the crusher at a local wrecking yard in the 80s. So I talked the owner into letting me buy it. It needed allot of work and I didn't have the money to handle it , so I sold it to a good friend and he restored it. And it is a pilot car he found out loaded with options. Ac pw pb cruise 6 way seat and more.
I am happy I heard what was happening to all those cars. We saved one.

Maybe it was 1 of 20 in that particular color?

 

[YY1]

Color is a percentage, so no way to nail that down.

Still claiming closes to the pin.

Im not a very good (in fact, really bad) golfer
I can usually claim "Closest to the tee"

99 440 4-Speeds were built, Not sure how many still exist?
This is mine, but original drivetrain was gone when I bought it.
Also, not an original N96 car, previous owner added the hood and air grabber assembly.
