Hello Everyone,

I am posting this thread as a request by some senior members. It will take me a bit to get the pics to the size that will load........I will keep at it thou.....This is quite a nice place to view all the old Chrysller Iron....This is another spot to view some newer musclecar iron, as well as the Best racing series in towne.....
Take a peek and check the forum.........F.A.S.T. (factory appearing stock tire)

Wow, this is your car? I'll have to confess that I've pirated pictures to add to my "coronado inspiration" folder from the internet without realizing they belonged to you! The vehicle is just gorgeous, and I am sure you are a very proud owner. How long have you owned this car, and how did you come about to finding it in such great original condition? Any tips to pass along to a new coronado owner? My car isn't in such beautiful condition, but it runs, the body is solid, and it came at a great price. It'll be a nice work-in-progress. I couldn't pass up owning that lovely tri-color paint combo.

@ Fred, I wake up to that gorgeous toothy smile when I turn on my computer and start work each morning. A great way to start any day!

Well, It surely may be there this summer. I race for Hemmings at the Musclepalooza's each year!! I never thought about taking her off the..........driveway........
(kidding)
She has gone everywhere I wanted without a hitch.........

The trailer was for a show and with salty winter roads..........I can't bring her out!!

The salt would be bad for her blood pressure.........Darrell
