unrestored 70 coronet

[crj1968]

First and just in case, "you" was general and not addressing anyone directly.  Just want make sure the comment wasn't taken the wrong way somehow.

Not at all and I get what you're saying. But it is a 500.   

[crj1968]

I don't get it.

There are not many original mostly untouched Coronets left.

Most Coronets have been driven into the ground, parted or butchered.
Many were turned into Super Bee clones.

There is no need to make another Super Bee clown out of it.
There are many more Super Bees out there then untouched Coronets.

I think it looks great including the original wire wheel covers.
No need for Rallies or 15" Ford Magnums chrome style

Just my 2 cents

yeah. I hear ya on that as well. But I can't think of the last time I've seen a 70 Coronet ANYTHING. I just know myself I'd get really bored of that car as a driver knowing what it could look like with little effort.

But the wire wheel covers gotta go !      4 cents!

[Bronzedodge]

I'll second that - it's a 500.  You don't see a lot of 500's at shows.  Or maybe they have been already modified, painted, emblems removed.  I'd leave it alone.   

[Sublime/Sixpack]

I could be wrong but I don't think those wire style wheel covers are actually original to that car.

[GOTWING]

Neat car for sure, I would put factory tips out the back and a set of 15" Cragar SS mags on Polyglass Goodyears and that's it. I wonder why they did not post any engine pics?

haven't checked the paperwork of this car but the were at least optional

[GOTWING]

Yes that wheel cover was available on the 1970 Coronets, I have factory literature showing them even on a 70 Superbee, that wheel cover was produced on a long run of different models and years.

[Sublime/Sixpack]

Yes, I stand corrected about the wheel covers. I was at a Dodge dealership this morning and we checked their old parts book for 1970 Dodge wheel covers and there they were.

So what would you guys do with this car?  Full blown stock restoration?  Update it with new suspension/brakes/electrica/mechanical components?  Making it more of a muscle car or resto-mod?  Or just leave it as is?

Perfect candidate for a Superbee/RT replica/rebody built to one's specs/desires or hang some new AMD 70 Sat/RR rear qtrs, 70 Sat/RR trunk lid/finish panel/lights/etc, and you have the beginnings for a Superbird clone/rebody

[GOTWING]

  it's a Perfect candidate to leave it alone ! if it was parked in a row of 70 R/T's and Superbees at Carlisle I would walk right up to it first as I walked by the others to get to it.

true !!  while custom  , OEM resto , over restored  & anything in between are awesome to look at & inspect       its the unrestored original  & the older 70s / day two  survivor  types ,I would look at first 

[Alaskan_TA]

I would also leave it be. It is less than 20 VINs from my 4-door Coronet, cool to see.

[Patronus]

I'd jump the hell outta that thing.

& per the b'cast sheet - W15 "wire wheel covers" belong there!!  CLASSY!!
