My New Project 68 Coronet 500

[Rocky]

I picked up a 68 Coronet 500 to keep my Charger company.  I'm thinking about an R/T or Superbee clone.  What do you think?
Should I make it B5 with white top and interior?

now THAT'S more like it! make that your daily. looks like a great solid car

[terrible one]

That looks real nice man! How much did you pay for her?

Triple black...

I got it for $2,600.  No motor or tranny, but thats OK because I have a rebuilt 440 with under 1,000 miles on it just waiting to go in.  The interior is shot, but I was thinking about changing it to white anyway.  The car is really solid, the trunk was replaced with a flat sheet, and it has a fuel cell in it now.

i like it. b5 blue with a white interior is killer. good luck

great score, I like the bee clone idea

I like the idea of a 68 Super Bee. That will have some folks scratching their heads...   Since the 'Bee won't have a 500 center divider in the grille, you can even remove that and send it to me...

Actually if you want to clone it into a bee you have to remove the rear tail panel and switch the taillights, plus remove the side chrome and rear 1/4 call out and plug all the holes, better off leavin it as a 500.Although the R/T share the same tail panel & lights. Nice score

That looks like my brother's old car...what state did you find it it??

[Rocky]

Kab, if you want the center dividers they are yours.  They arn't in the best shape and the 500 emblem is busted so I'm taking them off anyway.

I already picked up a decent set of 440/Superbee taillights off ebay for $9 bucks, I'd just need the chrome trim for the conversion.

Hey Rocky,nice find.Chargers are my favorite in the B-bodys,but running along for second are the 68,69 coronet body.While searching for a 69 Charger R/T  in 98 ,I stumbled on this 68 coronet 440 w/22k orig miles and could'nt pass it up.This is an option if you like blue,it is 68 EE1,my charger is B5 with white top and white stripe,and even though I did paint it the original color,as I find on this site that alot of people like it ,but for me it's O.K,and I could think of a couple different other colors that I would  prefer on it.Here are a couple of pics,one with the original rims and tires(removed when it had 13 k miles),and with the magnums from my charger.The car gets alot of compliments on this color,and I would have to say I do like it better than B5 for 69.
