I just got this 66 coronet about 1 month ago and drove it 70 miles to my house without any problems.

In the meantime, my plans were to replace all the suspension parts, convert to front disk brakes and replace all the rear drum parts along with new brake lines and MS, etc.

Well, I went out to back the car into the garage to start the work, when, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor without any resistance. I mean I couldn't even pump the brakes back up.

1st thing I did was to look under the car for leaks....non found.....and the single MS in full of fluid.

I don't care as I'm changing it all. Just that I'm glad this happen at the house, and not while I was driving it home.

Just another reason to change the single MS to dual....

Just wanted to pass this on....I'll find out what happen as I take this apart.
 
Pics of car, please.
 
Yeah, what YY1 said! We want picture's! Glad you made it home safe.
 
Here's some pics.....My current plans are only to change the wheels (steels w/caps) and of course suspension/brakes.

Damn shame there a 2 small rips in the front seat. Other than that, super nice interior and solid untouched body & drivetrain with original paint & 65,*** original.

Maybe BB engine & trans later. Has 273 now & already has an 8 3/4rear w/2.76...

The one picture shows my old 72 Dart that was traded for this Coronet.

Like I said earlier, the MOPAR Gods where looking down on me for not driving this because of the brakes.
