Hello from Finland

[kerosiini]

I bought this 1968 Coronet 440 with original 318+904 in 2019. It came to Finland from Washington (maybe Ferndale) 2008-2009.

Last week I did some search with US register number WA-175PHR and found photo where Dodge is look-a-like cop car!

Original color is JJ-1 Medium Gold and painted black before left from USA.

Now it needs some rust fixing between trunklid and back window+new paintwork on hood and trunklid.

Hi from New York. I have a 1966 Coronet 500 2dr coupe. I bought it from my mechanic 2 years ago. The car was 1 family owned. I had the body work done and painted the car in its original color red. I am going to have to do the mechanical work. It has 160k and i doubt the engine and tranny were rebuilt.

Welcome. The Coronet looks great in black. Good luck.

Welcome from Alabama, great Cop car lookalike. Are you going for that look?

I'll keep current style but why not cop look if there find out some great story about that former cop car -look If someone in this forum knows anything about this ones history, all information is welcome!

Original color is also great but then the way is complete restoration (enginebay and doorframes etc is also black now). I still have those 14" wheels with hubcaps.

Tried also find build sheet, but under seats there's only empty beer cans
