[hunt2elk]

Sure does look nice. Got any more before pictures?

 

[roadrunnerman]

From the one photo it sure looks nice so it must be fairly all original,is that why it needs a resto to be freshened up or are you going the full route?

That's what I'm thinking also after seeing more pics.

Wow to look at this one i thought the resto was done.. Great looking ride and good luck.

 

[Donny]

It looks perfect as is, no restoration needed? Maybe I've been looking at rust buckets too long?

what's the story? looks done now

THANKS FOR ALL THE GRACIOUS COMMENTS.

THE BODY DID NEED SOME ATTENTION. PAINT HAD BEEN ON FOR 15 YEARS. (ONLY BEEN OUTSIDE A COUPLE OF TIMES DURING THAT PERIOD) THE BODY WORK WAS LESS THAN PERFECT. ALL MECHANICAL IS GOOD. I HAVE DONE MOST OF THAT DURING THE PAST 40 SOME YEARS. IF I HADN'T HAD IT SO LONG AND HAD ALL THE HISTORY, MATCHING NUMBERS, SECOND OWNER, (even hauled a little mooshine in it lol)I PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE HAD IT RESTORED.

Awesome ride!

 

[ChargerRTguy]

Nice car ! If that was mine and in that good of shape, makes a good survivor, would leave it alone. But of course it's his ride. Just my .02.

NO RESTO congrats on owning that bad mofo from day one.

Man it looked pretty nice to start with,i'd have a hard time blowing it apart.

if my car had looked that good I wouldn't have it on the shop now.

As you can see - we're all jealous of your ride and its history. Thanks for sharing and good luck with the restoration.

Yeah,
I'm with Wannadrag & Donny !!
It looks good to me!
PS: Coronets are such sweet cars.
I believe they are very underrated.
