Thanks,
I was pretty fond of it myself.
That car could have been the poster child for orange peel paint.
On the right rear upper door frame, they did not get all the factory primer covered.
Folks sure got a kick out of that.
Looks like it stayed the way it was when I owned it.
Even got the HEMI only owner's manual with it.
Build sheet actually had HEMI typed lower right.
Car went away when I had the chance to increase back yard from 80 to 510 acres.
All adjoining land so bye- bye cars.
Besides it is fun chasing more now.
"OLE BLUE" is exactly the kind of car- condition we chased back then. Shocked we could find something like that in 2022.
Another black hemi Coronet I was 3ed owner and car had 6,600 miles on it.
Original owner missed a shift and hurt the motor bad in summer of 68. Dodge would not fix it and he never did.
Heads were fine and I found an NOS short block assy dated 2 months prior to build date of car.
NO COMMENT on what that cost me.
I still wince when I think about it.
I left the metal data tag on it
Factory paint except RF NOS fender.
Got backed into at some point and I had the frender.
