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:
