It was a $500 auction special, intended as a winter beater. Car was rough. Well, got it home and got the "rat rod" bug, I guess you could say. Everyone said you can't rat rod a '65 Coronet, it just wouldn't work. Well, we think it did. This is what a grand total of $1,500 (including purchase price) and a couple weekends work gets you:

My Dart was supposed to be just one step up from these.... But it's gone a little past that now... :P
The Coronet was powered by a poly/auto, whereas the '57 Plymouth was a built 225 running a 4-spd stick. The '57 was also almost 10x the price to get to that point. But all the running gear, etc was done. It was a slough car that I spent 3 days welding on to salvage.
