Earlier this year, I finally decided to post that i was looking for a 1970 dodge
Coronet wagon. After posting around multiple websites and online listings, i received a phone call at 9pm one night. The gentleman and i spoke for a solid 2 hours. Then in late April, i took a trip to Arizona for a fairly solid 1970 dodge coronet wagon. Seller said it was rust free, but i knew that was too good to be true, and it was. It was a solid trip, used more gas than i wanted too, but thats ok. I had my dream car. I get the car home, get it unloaded and the first thing i do is clean out the rat cr@p and get rid of the carpet. Seats are next. This is so i can put the car into the garage and not have my garage smell. I was luckily able to score 2 engines and a transmission for my car for free. Though, the two motors are locked up from water damage in the cylinders. The 383 only has 1 cylinder with water damage while the 440 has 2 cylinders. I will be keeping a good solid log on my progress, but because i am a working man and money is tight at times. There will only be so much i can do at times. I work as an automotive instructor for our local community college. So having room to work on it wont be so bad. I also have welders who are more than welcoming to help restore it because they are Mopar lovers themselves. I will make a log in the projects and and restorations. I also have a million questions that i will be posting around as well. Thank you all and i look forward to becoming a valuable member of this community.
