1969 Coronet 500 convertible

[73rallye440magnum]

Updated Craigslist link 12/5/19

Matching numbers 383-4 auto. Starts, runs, drives, steers, stops. Not yet ready for daily use- but close.

Loaded- A/C, cruise, power windows, power steering, power disc brakes (Bendix). R4 charger red with black interior and black top.

Front end rebuilt- upper and lower ball joints, inner and outer tie rod ends, shocks, control arm bushings. New rotors, calipers, pads. Original spindles, new inner bearings. Serviced booster to eliminate vacuum leaks. Original booster and MC seem to be in good shape. Replaced front soft brake hoses, steel lines as needed.  

Rear brakes (10") new as well. Rear brakes hang up a bit in 'Drive', only thing preventing from further road testing.

Coolant flushed, new t-stat and housing, water pump, oil change, spark plugs, fuel filter and hoses, battery, starter and wiring, got it running and idles in park and in gear- Edelbrock performer intake and Competition AFB from rebuild in late 70's- was told larger cam. No specs. I have the original intake, but not the carburetor. Having said that- full disclosure the cruise control system appears complete other than the carb linkage. Transmission feels strong- no slipping or clunking. 3.23 8-3/4 differential serviced.

New carpet, original upholstery, panels, dash. Radio works. Fan works. A/C complete but non-op. Power windows and top work. I've been detailing the interior and it's cleaning up good for an original. New black convertible top included.

Body got a repaint late 70's after someone backed into the quarter. Quarters, floors, trunk, trunk extensions, fuel tank need replaced. Rockers and fenders need some metal patches. My intentions were to get it on the road and pound it. If you want to restore it, it needs metal work.

$17k, offer. Trade for '68 Charger, or factory bulge hood '71 R/T or Bee. 4 speed preferred, auto full consideration. Realistic expectation similar overall condition. Can add cash if you've got one further sorted out and are seeking your next project.

I am in Southern Colorado. Text for pics, questions, info. See link to my Craigslist ad for pictures.

Longtime member (transferred from old site). Love the Coronet- it's a cool vert, however I am a Charger fanatic. I think this group understands.

This is a 960 VON Y16 press review show car.

Verified numbers matching engine, transmission, radiator support.

Found some time to adjust rear brakes- no drag, stops nice.
