Hey Gang, my 1959 Dodge Coronet 4 dr is up for sale.. 326 3sp AT, PS. Seafoam green with dark green top and fins, same on the inside. I have had it for ten years now and it's time to move on.
The goods.. 88k on the clock, was somewhat restored by me about 7-10 years ago, heads were redone with hardened seats, re did the front end, replaced tires , new brake system, changed the old ball and trunion drive shaft to a modern U-joint (proffesionaly done and balanced) interior was redone, seats carpet headliner windlace back shelf. All guages work, radio works. Dual (not duel !) exhaust with turbo mufflers (sounds Oh so good) rodded out the radiator, new carb. It even has the rare padded dash!
Now this was all done some time ago, and it was my daily driver for many years, it started out with 51k on it, so some things have deteriorated somewhat in the passing years.
The Bads, drivers seat has started to tear, the front end has developed a bushing clunk (torsion bar bushing I think) , the carb is starting to run on the rich side, so it probably needs rebuilding. the car has some rust issues, the typical Mopar trunk rust, some rust thru in the rear qtrs.. paint was a Maaco job from god knows what era, done before I got it, and when it was done they lost the side trim, which by the way , I have found after ten years of looking! The passinger fender was creased pretty good by the wife, so I fixed that using lead and some bondo, it's in primer. The drivers door has a slight crease, also from wife, at which time I decided it was not the car for her driving pleasure. So it needs some body work and paint, but it looks pretty good in the daytime as well as the night!
Over all this is a good car, great car for a classic driver! I have had many years of pleasure from it, it was fun to show it and go to cruise in's ! It's very reliable, never had it towed. All I am asking is that it goes to someone who can take care of it and my price is $5000. firm. That about what I have put into it, don't want to make a huge profit off of it cause at that price I am more likeley loosing money! I can take all the pics that you want, just let me know of what . I need to sell the car ASAP, it's taking space in my cramped garage, and with the wifes temperment, it may turn into my own personal Motel 6! Feel free to email me with ANY questions, owning this car for 10 years I pretty much know it like the back of my hand, or I could go look at it again! Many thanks! -Josh-
P.S. I have some spare stuff that will go with the car, lenses, couple of quarts of oil, what ever else is in the trunk at time of sale...
