sweet score you got. if it was in my garage, i'd throw those pipes back on, and then proceed to thrash it to within inches of it's life!! they all get restored, thats a pretty neat looking ride. that being said, i bet it will look pretty sweet, when you're done with it.

Yeah, the original quarters are there behind the flares. I can look at the fender tag when I go out the garage later. It is a low option car. N96 hood, hood pins, buckets with console, am radio, power brakes and steering. Plum Crazy with a white stripe. If I remeber right it was a St Louis car. Thats about it. Oh this is my moparts account. The posted account is a relative.

I agree to leave it alone, add side pipes, tour it around to some shows for a few years. Then make a decision weather to put back to stock or keep as is. Yes the flares are odd looking but that is some way cooool stuff from back in the day!!!!!!!!!!!!

First off, congrats on the cool find and I'm a bit partial to 1970 PURPLE Coronets! I wouldn't tear it down right away, as mentioned I'd leave it as is (add the pipes if you can score a set) for this summer/season. Then begin the resto in the fall. That allows you to enjoy your ride for before getting into the resto...... Just my  Bryan

Awesome project! Does it have a Dana? Car looks really clean. I wonder what you'll find under those fender flares.

Thanks guys, these pics were taken on an overcast day. In the sun, this car is nasty. Sooooo much metal flake in the paint it's blinding. Looks like a bass boat. The top coat of clear has a lot of cracks in it too. But from my research the car was painted 30 years ago. So it's held up ok.  No Dana jeff968, no axle package was ordered and it's an automatic.

Well if the paint is that old, there is hope that it's extremely solid. How's the trunk and dutchman panel? Sounds like our cars are very similar; HT, 440-6, auto, N96, 8 3/4", PS, PB, R11 radio, etc. ...biggest differences are the color, buckets vs. bench and the fact yours is an R/T and mines a SB. As a "car warming" gift, I'd offer up a new set of Metro WOM's for when those flares are history.....   Dave

470bee, this was my Bee i sold a few years ago. Original FK5 burnt orange. Real V-code 440-6, bench 4 speed, super track pak 4:10 Dana. It now lives a mile down the road and is totally restored back to FK5.

I could have predicted the "leave it alone" comments! Great car (I have an affinity to '70 V code coronets with N96 hoods!) but gawd those flares are hideous!
