I was coming back from a parent teacher conference and this car was in this guys driveway so I had to stop.  I'm not up on these cars so my guess is it's a 69.  ???  The guy was leaving as I pulled up so I told him I'm the guy with the general Lee a mile down the road.  He said oh, OK.  I didn't want to hold him up so I asked if I could snap a picture quick and he said sure.  I'll go back another time and bug him. LOL.  Nice looking car.

It's a '70 Coronet.  Looks like a non-R/T with some aftermarket additions like the Ramcharger scoops and hood pins.  Maybe a Coronet 500.

I like it, It needs some polished slot wheels to complete that mid 70's muscle car look, I always liked the 70 Coronets & Super Bees

Looks like a 70 Coronet 440. The 1/4 trim is from the 440 model. Also seems to have 68 dog dishes. Even still. not a bad looking ride.

Not only that....I think the 70 Coronet is the best looking car Dodge ever made. I also think the 71 Barracuda is the best looking Plymouth ever made.

I have never liked '70 Coronets, but I have to say, that would look okay with hideaways.  In fact, maybe they would all look less terrible with hideaways.  Something to think about...

Cody, can you Photoshop a blacked out 68 Charger grill on the front?  ???   I think that's the look the car needs.    :icon_smile_big:

nope...the unique front "bee wing" style bumpers are really what sets the car off...it would be good to photoshop out the OE front lights and then see what car would look like with hidden headlights

Fred

Identity lost!
It no longer looks like what it's suppose to. Could be anything now.

Here's my attempt at photoshopping the green Coronet above.  I just made a few tweaks that would make it the perfect car...

Love the hell out of this car.  Total bad !$@$ look, IMO the 69 and 70 Coronets are the meanest looking muscle cars Chrysler ever built, although a triple black 68-69 Charger done right is a close second

Yes - The F6 Green one is truly a "Racers Special". Bench, 4-speed, 2 door post, manual steering and brakes, no radio. Funny enough, the buyer went for the wood wheel and side scoop option.

I have always loved the front end of the ยด70, ok, not always but since 1986 when I saw one with huge blower and Predator carbs up to the roof, that was cool back then. now if I owned one, I would keep the front bumber stock, but I would swap the rear lights, and quarters and doors to 70 charger ones, take the roof off and chop the windshield 3 inches. maybe make some cover over the rear seat like T-bird sports roadsters used to have.

thank god I cant weld and dont have money for one, lol :slap:
