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?

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...

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!

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:
