Pictures of the '70 Coronet I bought.

[Dionysusan]

Did I ever show you guys? I think I just kept saying I'd add pictures and never got to it. Yeah that car I made a thread about a while back, 1970 Dodge Coronet, we bought it, still haven't got the forgeter out. Gonna be hard lol.

The guy said he parked it because he got tired of it and it looked old.

also, I bought it for $300. Slightly less than scrap price ;)

in the beginning I was startled about the undercarriage, that, and its kinda bad under the hood (i can post pics if anyone wants) but I don't really have to worry about the frame as much because its a unibody car. interior is gone, but it's still a 1970 Coronet, many of the parts from this car were year specific and lots of people are looking for the to restore their car, particularly the headlight bezels.

so I might restore it, sell it as is, might part it out, might scrap it. really don't want to scrap it though.

Restore it. It's a gorgeous car. Replace the rusted metal, add a chrome film to it, clean it until it reflects like a mirror and try it out to see if any functional parts need replacing.

Do not restore it if you want to make a profit, obv.

Are there even any parts worthy of selling on it?

These sell for ~35k restored, and they're going up. I could possibly turn a small profit. Plus, I'd love to be able to drive it.

Oh and lots of parts.

as someone who has a decent deal of experience in restoration, I can guarantee you that you will likely not turn a profit worth doing all that work for..  Seeing as it's a unibody car as we'll makes it more difficult to patch body panels without compromising the structural integrity of the car.  Plus based on what I see here it looks pretty rusted out.  We thought my brothers can on his 64 C10 wasn't rusted out and then he barely bumped the bottom of the door frame and that stuff just fell apart.  I'm not trying to discourage you, I'm just saying, beware.  Any dodge coronet that you are able to pick up for a mere 300 bucks will likely be pretty bad. I'm not sure of your experience restoring cars but I can tell the car you have won't be a beginner friendly car as far as difficulty to restore goes.  I could go on but I'm tired.

Tldr just do what you feel is right, and if you do decide to restore it then don't say I didn't warn you when it ends up being a billion times harder than it is on the show overhaulin.

Oooh Coronets are very nice looking
