So...lets take a trailer that is WAY too small and too narrow and wedge this car on it....oh, and take ONE picture.

I've wondered if the one photo and/or poor photos strategy works in that it gets people to get out from behind the computer and make the trip to check it out in person? If your selling anything online getting someone over to look at it is half the battle.

If the car is a real mess, and you take lots of photos showing that it is, have you essentially scared off people from even checking it out?

I like the styling of those cars a lot. One of the coolest tail panel and rear light configurations ever made.

No C shaped chrome trim on the quarter panels below the rear side windows so doubt it's a 500 model.

Always thought it was a bad idea to name a trim level 440, and put it on the car. I'd bet many people who are not Mopar guys or who are, but are simply less knowledgeable about these think the 440 trim means it has a 440 under the hood.

LOL...That is a FACT. Back in the 80's when I was buying WAY too many cars, my Chevy buddy calls me up one day. He had been at the now long closed local wrecking yard and had bought me a complete Coronet with a 440 in it, because he knew I was always looking for them. When I asked him how he knew it was a 440, he said because it was right on the fenders and the engine was HUGE. All I asked him was where the distributor was......IN THE BACK......LOL. Wideblock Poly 318. But, he did not pay much and he sold it to one of my brother's friends who did restore it and did put a 440 in it.

I had 68 Coronet 500 with a stock 383 two barrel years ago. I should have told people it had a 500" engine in it. smoke
