well guys i KINDA got this car off ebay.. i bought it. but wasn't the high bidder. it's a 68 coronet. /6 with 36000 original miles on the car. kind of custom redone. maaco paint job that looks better in pics than it is. but overall a great driver, and the guy spent 3 years "restoring" it.. got it fairly inexpensive..(under $7000) so though it wasn't a charger, i was happy to get it and add it to the collection. what do you guys think?

That is great :drool5:  and at a super price.  I was thinking the other day I remember a 6 cyl 69 Charger that I wish I had bought.  Great car.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Very nice   :2thumbs: . So are you going to do a build on the /6 to be different?

Nice score! 

If it were me, I'd leave the /6 in it.  Just tell'em its a big block 6   :smilielol:

what do you guys think?

I think you are developing an exceptional taste in cars..... :cheers:

Nice score for that price. Those are hard to come by. IMHO leave it a /6.

It's a Mopar! Gotta love it. Your keeping the /6? Looks like a perfect platform for a big block or Hemi crate motor.

Opinions, you want opinions?  The 68 Coronet is a styling smash that was only just edged out by the 68 Charger.  Great score Trav.  :2thumbs:

Looks like a great car! I love the '68 and '69 Coronet body style. Dad has a '68 Super Bee that is a blast to drive.

I'm glad your keeping it a /6 and can enjoy it as an affordable driver.  :2thumbs:

thanks again guys.. what's seriously crazy is i may actually drive this one more. the guy tells me it gets close to 20 mpg. that is better than any hemi ram i've driven lately.. i like the 69 better myself personally, but let's face it, when a deal smacks you in the face, beggers can't be choosers.. one thing i must admit, power steering is in this car's future.. manual brakes is freakish enough, but manual steering i'll have that mahogany wheel down to a nub in weeks   :drive: :drive:
