ok ok ok - dont shoot me - but I was just thinking outloud - can you put like the grill of a '71 Coronet on a 3rd gen Charger?


yea - alot of you may thing its ugly - but I'm just asking, cause like - well, it'd be the first 2 door coronet no?

Looks like all the front sheetmetal would need to be swapped with it. Looks different from the Charger stuff to me.

 No.... Coronet R/T !

I think it may work dpending on year. I have a 73 charger and had a 73 coronet wagon , the front loop bumpers were the same as best I could tell, so the grille insert should've fit as well.

haha - seriously - just toying with the idea, running it around in my head - always wondered why they stopped making them 2door


imagine the amount of double takes people would do if a 2dr 3rd gen coronet rolled in at say, mopar nationals  :icon_smile_big:

Well, since they changed the Charger vin designation from "X" to "W" in 1971 and "W" had always been the Coronet vin callout, maybe the two door Coronet has been here all along?   :stirthepot:

Hmmmm, I personally wouldn't even notice. Maybe if you hacked the top off, painted it canary yellow with lavender accents, fitted some 24" wire wheels, and stuck a pipe organ in the back I'd take a picture so we could make fun of it.  :icon_smile_big:

no... front end shape is different. Coronet is allmost perfectly straight ( with corners exception ), and Charged is somekind like an M.
Of course with a lot of job you could try to make some on that, but...
