Location: NY & VT | Not sure if this Coronet 2 dr. has been shown here on FL.net before, it's been on CL for at least 6 months, the price has dropped somewhat and I'd bet it can be had for less than current asking price. Looks pretty decent in the pics, and it's retail red!

| its not bad, great starter car for someone, cant tell what kind of shape it in? Its got the fake chevy antennas, its a coronet low option manual brakes/steering.
Its got ac added.
Someone did a repaint and pulled the engine. If its a good restore its worth it, but maybe it was bondoed up? |

Location: new york | I bought that car from the original owners family,Back in the early 90's had 40 Thou miles. Power steering , always garaged no rust, the interior seats were done by me and the panels headlining were all original, I see now the doors have different panels.
The car was really nice originally gold and white i changed all the gold to red and painted the white over.Also did the bumpers its held up well from what i can see. I sold it to a guy in north jersey...

Location: NY & VT | It's now in the Ithaca- Watkins Glen NY area being flogged by a flipper, evidently, as he has other vintage iron for sale. I called and talked to him last summer and he seemed to not know a lot about FL cars. If it's still as Victor describes it sounds like a very decent car, not necessarily my cup of tea but certainly for the 2 dr fans! |

Location: Muskego, WI | The AC compressor is actually the generator or alternator packaged like a generator. What engine is in this car? Is it a Hemi or Hemi-based Poly? |

Agree on the generator/alternator (definitely not stock though).
The engine is a 2 bbl Poly with red valve covers (note narrow valve covers with scallops at the bottom edge) with Super Red Ram decal(s). Not at 4 bbl 325 hemi.
325 4bbl Hemi, wider valve covers, black wire covers, straight bottom edge:
