My 65 Coronet 500

[bink220]

Bought this car June of this year. The seller was losing his job because of downsizing and had to sell. He did the body work and paint. Still fine-tuning the car.

I have the same wheels for the back of my '65 Satellite. Hows the interior? The exterior and motor are on the money! Great car.

65 Coronet 500 is a good choice dude, I like it! :icon_super:
It is kinda hard finding certain parts for our model, but its worth all the trouble.

Greetings from Germany,

moparker, the interior is alot better now: had to repair the dash pad, cleaned/polished the dash and trim. Someone butchered up the face plate and metal dash frame for an after market radio, made a delete plate for the radio opening. Rebuilt the driver's seat with new foam, made my own seat covers from the ones that came with the car. Removed a crappy tack from the console and used an old horn button center to replace the tach. Secured the console to the floor. Removed a big/bulky 4 way flasher push-pull switch from under the dash (the one that grandpap had in his old pickup}. Just to mention some of the things that I have corrected or changed. Thanks for the post. It's 17 degrees here, I'll try and do a few photos. Bink

Doesn't look like you've got too much fine tuning to do an that FINE ride . . . but enjoy the "ride" ! ! !

Boy does she look nice ! ! !

Thank you. Still have a bunch of little things that bug me. One thing that is missing is the emblem on the trunk lid. Wanna do weather stripping around the windows, adjust the doors/windows better, little stuff.

excellent...this is a great help...I took measurement and concluded that the drivers side fender had in the past been changed and the person/shop did not align and set the left badge on correctly...now that I am changing that fender yet again...I want to ensure it is closer to being correct...again many thanks for your help...I measured a couple older cars I have here...the trim is not dead on each side compared to the other except on the '76 Tradesman van..I would have though mirror image in the production process...most were about 1/2 to 1 inch difference left to right
