We were able to get the engine back up and running and checked over the rest of the internals. Engine fired right up. All 6 cylinders ran great. Absolutely NO smoke and NO hesitation. Needs a carb rebuild, nd the gas tank will need cleanout. Comes with a 6 volt battery and a generator (Real old school). (Will need a new battery). While idling for the short while we tested the few gears. It went into both REVERSE and FORWARD so we see no problem at all with the transmission. Brakes will need work.
2 (of the 4) hubs on this classic still have the "L" for "LEFT HAND turn" which were found on rims back in the 40's and 50's before everything became Left to Loosen and RIGHT to tighten. Forget the righty-tighty lefty-loosey...2 of the wheels are the opposite on this car.
Interior is good. It is missing a few small dash and trim pieces (as can be seen) here and there and some may need replacing. Will come with a new ignition switch. Seats have no holes and was reupholstered along with the interior doors and panels several years ago. The top fabric is good, ut needs a cleaning and a reattached zipper rear window. All bows look good, nd has only 1 fixable tear near the lower back...Drivers door needs some hinges/pins. A piece of patina chipped off due to scraping against fender ORIGINAL ISLAND GREEN color, nd some small bubbles by the rear fender. Trunk is overall solid but does have a couple rust-throughs about the size of a 50 cent piece.
Through the years, odge has treated the Coronets as one of its most upscale models rivaling the Chargers in the muscle car 1960's and 1970's selling for very high dollar. This is more like a museum piece....You can own one of the.....1ST EVER CORONETS that ever rolled off the assembly line in 1949.
