IT HAS A FAIRLY FULL FENDER TAG, WITH BUCKET SEATS, CONSOLE & FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING & POWER STEERING. THE DESCRIPTIONS THAT FOLLOW WILL BE QUITE LENGTHY, & I HAVE TAKE GREAT CARE TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO SURPRISES. I AN AM ENTHUSIAST, & I HAVE TAKEN MANY TRIPS IN MY LIFE TO LOOK AT OVERDESCRIBED JUNK. I DO NOT NEEED TO SELL THIS CAR, & I HAVE NO INTENTION OF PASSING IT OFF AS SOMETHING IT ISN’T. IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH IT, THEN I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE SALE. SO HERE IS THE DEAL: IF WITHIN 7 DAYS OF THE AUCTION ENDING, YOU COME TO PICK UP THE CAR & ARE AT ALL UNHAPPY WITH IT, A FULL REFUND WILL BE GIVEN INCLUDING YOUR DEPOSIT.

I WILL NOT SELL THIS OFF EBAY, PLEASE DON’T ASK. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS NOT ANSWERED BELOW, PLEASE CALL JOHN AT 989 723 8907. KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS NOW A 42 YEAR OLD CAR, & THERE WILL LIKELY BE DETAILS THAT ARE NOT MENTIONED HERE. I BELIEVE THIS WAS AN ORIGINAL KANSAS OR OKLAHOMA CAR. I PURCHASED IT THERE 2 YEARS AGO FROM LONG TERM INSIDE STORAGE. THE ODOMETER SHOWS 65,862 MILES, WHICH I BELIEVE TO BE ORGINAL TO THE CAR GIVEN ITS CONDITION & GENERAL WEAR. PREVIOUS OWNER LIVED IN NEWTON, KANSAS, AND THE TITLE SHOWED 61,129 MILES ON IT IN 1977. EBAY ONLY ALLOWS ME TO POST 24 PICTURES, SO I HAVE ADDED A PHOTOBUCKET LINKS TO MORE PHOTOS. THE LINK IS : http://s1251.beta.photobucket.com/user/sincissen/library/70plumrag DOCUMENTATION: CAR COMES WITH NEVER REMOVED DASH VIN TAG, ORIGINAL FENDER TAG, PERFECT DRIVERS DOOR VIN STICKER & A RATHER NICE COMPLETE ORIGINAL BUILD SHEET.

ENGINE, TRANSMISSION & REAR END: THE ENGINE & TRANSMISSION ARE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR, THEY ARE BOTH VIN STAMPED ON THE PAN RAILS TO MATCH THE 0G194911 ENDING VIN # OF THE CAR. ENGINE BLOCK CASTING DATE IS 9-19-69. PART # STAMP ON THANSMISSION IS PK3410667L 3115 1792. ENGINE CAN BE ROTATED COMPLETELY WITH A SOCKET & BREAKER BAR, BUT IT DOES NOT CRANK EVEN WITH A NEW STARTER—THE STARTER SIMPLY ENGAGES BUT DOES NOT TURN. I WOULD GUESS A SPUN BEARING, BUT REALLY DO NOT KNOW. EVERYTHING APPEARS ORIGINAL TO THE ENGINE EXCEPT SOME NEW SPARK PLUGS & 2 NEW PLUG WIRES. THE CARB HAS WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE ITS ORIGINAL TAG ON IT, IT IS A 4894S. FOLLOWING THE PART # ON THE CARB TAG IS 3449 35. I HAVE NOT CHECKED DATE CODING OR RATIO ON THE REAR AXLE, BUT IT LOOKS TO ME TO HAVE BEEN UNTOUCHED. RADIATOR IS ORIGINAL TO THE CAR. (RADIATOR PART# IS 2998958). CAR HAS THE CORRECT FAN & FAN CLUTCH. POWER TOP & CONVERTIBLE ITEMS: POWER CONVERTIBLE TOP WORKS NICELY & I WOULD BE GLAD TO DEMONSTRATE WHEN YOU COME TO PICK IT UP. THERE IS ZERO RUST IN THE TOP FRAME, HEADER PANEL, ETC. THE MECHANISM IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. THE LATCHES & VISORS ARE EXCELLENT, ALTHOUGH THE REAR WINDOW IS GONE & THE TOP FABRIC ITSELF IS TORN & NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ALL OF THE STAINLESS & POT METAL TRIM PIECES THAT ARE UNIQUE TO THE CONVERTIBLE ARE THERE & ARE IN VERY NICE CONDITION—NO DISAPPOINTMENTS. THE VISORS ARE EXCELLENT, A 9+ ON A 1-10 SCALE, AS IS THE MIRROR BASE FOR THE INSIDE REARVIEW MIRROR . THE VENT WINDOW FRAMES HAVE ONLY THE LIGHTEST “CRAZING”, WHICH MAY BUFF OUT. OVERALL, THEY ARE EXCELLENT. CAR WILL COME WITH A COMPLETE NEW WHITE CONVERTIBLE TOP, TINTED REAR GLASS WINDOW, WELL LINER & WHITE BOOT. GLASS: THE WINDSHIELD IS CRACKED & WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE FACTORY TINTED SIDE GLASS IS IN NICE CONDITION & APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL. THERE MAY BE SOME VERY MINOR FLAWS, AS YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM A CAR OF THIS AGE, BUT IT IS QUITE NICE. THE CONVERTIBLE TOP REAR WINDOW IS GONE, BUT OBVIOUSLY COMES WITH A NEW TOP. THE STAINLESS TRIM FOR THE CONVERTIBLE WINDSHIELD SURROUND IS EXCELLENT. INTERIOR ITEMS: FRONT SEATS WILL NEED RECOVERING, & LIKELY NEW FOAM. THE ORIGINAL PLASTIC SEAT BACKS ARE EXCELLENT, WITH NO CHALKING THAT I COULD FIND. THEY ARE A LITTLE YELLOWED FROM AGE, BUT THESE WERE NOT BRIGHT WHITE EVEN NEW, MORE OF A CREAM COLOR. THE CARPET NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE REAR OF THE CENTER CONSOLE IS BROKEN OUT BEHIND THE CONSOLE COMPARTMENT DOOR. I HAVE ANOTHER CONSOLE THAT WILL COME WITH THE CAR, IT DOES HAVE A HAIRLINE CRACK, BUT SHOULD REPAIR NICELY & EASILY. THE REAR INTERIOR SIDE PANELS ARE SUPER NICE, THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS AT ALL, NO SPEAKER HOLES OR ANYTHING ELSE. THEY SHOULD CLEAN UP NICELY. REAR SEAT IS NICE, AS ARE DOOR PANELS & OTHER ITEMS. THE DASH PAD IS EXCELLENT, NO CRACKS OR PROBLEMS. IT IS FIRM TO THE TOUCH BUT NOT BRITTLE. THE LOWER PLASTIC DASH TRIM ITEMS ARE NICE, & THERE ARE NO MISSING KNOBS OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT I AM AWARE OF. BODY: THERE ARE MULTIPLE SOFT DENTS AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURES, BUT THE BODY PANELS ALL HAVE ORIGINAL PAINT, WITH NO SIGN OF REPAINT WORK. CAR HAS SUN DAMAGE TO PAINT FROM THE HOT KANSAS SUMMERS, & THOSE AREAS WHERE THE PAINT IS GONE HAVE SOME VERY LIGHT SURFACE RUST, BUT ABSOLUTELY NO PITTING. UNDERHOOD & INNER FENDERS ARE EXCELLENT, NO RUST AT ALL, EVEN UNDER BATTERY TRAY. NO THICKENING BY HINGES OF SOFTNESS ANYWHERE. UNDERHOOD HAS CLEAN, ORIGINAL PAINT. HOOD HAS NO OBVIOUS DENTS OR DINGS, & IS VERY STRAIGHT--SIMPLY THE PICTURED PAINT FADING & VERY LIGHT SURFACE RUST IN THOSE AREAS. NO PITTING WHATSOEVER. FRONT FENDERS HAVE ZERO RUST, DOORS, TRUNK LID & LEFT QUARTER PANEL ARE ALSO RUST FREE. THERE IS ZERO FOLD OUT ON THE PINCH WELDS AT BOTTOM EDGE OF DOORS OR REAR LIP OF TRUNK LID, NOR IS THERE ANY THICKENING AT THOSE SPOTS, OR ANY PAINT BUBBLING AT ALL. THERE ARE MISC. DENTS OF VARYING SIZES ON ALL BODY PANELS, (DRIVERS DOOR, 2 SMALL DINGS ONLY; PASS DOOR SEVERAL DINGS, 1 SOFT DENT; L FENDER, SEVERAL SOFT DENTS AHEAD OF WHEEL OPENING; R FENDER, SOFT DENTS AHEAD OF WHEEL, 1 CREASE/DENT BEHIND WHEEL; TOP OF DRIVERS QUARTER PANEL BESIDE TRUNK LID HAS SOFT PUSH DOWN APPROX. ¾” DEEP)-- BUT ALL ARE VERY E-Z FIXES. THE DRIVERS REAR QUARTER PANEL WILL NEED A PATCH PANEL ON OUTER SKIN AT BOTTOM EDGE JUST BEHIND TIRE. IN FRONT OF THE TIRE, NEAR WHERE THE QUARTER MEETS THT ROCKER WAY DOWN, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SPOTS THAT MAY NEED TINY PATCHING, IT IS HARD TO SAY PRIOR TO MEDIA BLASTING. CARPET IS STILL IN CAR, BUT FROM UNDERNEATH, METAL ALL APPEARS TO BE EXCELLENT. THUNK FLOOR HAS SURFACE RUST ONLY—IT HAS NO RUST HOLES, & IT IS NOT SOFT AT ALL. IT APPEARS THAT YEARS AGO SOMEONE TOOK A TINY PICK & PUT 4 SMALL DRAIN HOLES TOWARD THE DRIVERS SIDE OF TRUNK FLOOR, THEY WILL FIX VERY EASILY. THEY ARE QUITE SMALL, & YOU WILL HAVE TO LOOK VERY CLOSELY AT THE PHOTOS TO SEE THEM. TRUNK FLOOR EXTENSIONS/SAIL PANELS ARE VERY NICE, NO APPARENT RUST. DOORS OPEN & CLOSE EASILY, NO DROP DOWN OR SAG. DOOR, HOOD & TRUNK LID GAPS ARE EXCELLENT. TRUNK OPENING AREA HAS ZERO RUST, IS NICE & SQUARE & STRAIGHT. GRILLES ARE EXCELLENT, ALTHOUGH “DODGE” SCRIPT HAS FALLEN OFF. FRONT LOOP BUMPERS ARE VERY NICE. FRAME RAILS ARE EXCELLENT, STRAIGHT & RUST FREE. UNDERCAR FLOOR PANS SHOW NO SIGN OF RUST AT ALL. EVERYWHERE THE FACTORY UNNDERCOAT IS MISSING HAS VERY NICE PLUM PAINT ON UNDERSIDE OF CAR. TRUNK FLOOR EXTENSIONS ARE RUST FREE. MISC: REAR FINISH PANEL IS OK, HAS DENTS BUT NO CRACKS. IT IS REPAIRABLE & USABLE, BUT WILL REQUIRE SOME TIME INVESTMENT. THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMSLIES, LENSES & HOUSINGS ARE EXCELLENT. THE PICTURES DO NOT REALLY DO JUSTICE TO THE CAR, IT WILL MAKE A VERY DESIRABLE RIDE WHEN DONE, WHETHER YOU SIMPLY GET IT RUNNING, REPLACE THE INCLUDED TOP & DRIVE IT AS AN UNMOLESTED SURVIVOR, OR IF YOU WANT TO DO A NICE TO SHOW QUALITY RESTO. MOPAR RAGS ARE TYPICALLY SUBJECT TO EXTENSIVE ROT, AS YOU LIKELY KNOW—THIS CAR IS TRULY EXCELLENT. THANKS FOR LOOKING. WHEN YOU COME TO PICK THIS CAR UP, I HAVE IT ON A HOIST THAT I CAN TAKE IT UP ON FOR YOUR CLOSE INSPECTION & APPROVAL. SAY OR THINK WHAT YOU WILL, THIS IS A 1 YEAR BODY STYLE IN WHAT I THINK IS THE NICEST HIGH IMPACT COLOR COMBINATION AVAILABLE (2002 MOPAR COLLECTORS GUIDE SAYS 51 1970 CORONET 500 RAGTOPS WERE PLUM CRAZY--HOW MANY HAD THE WHITE TOP & INTERIOR?). THE BODY & PAINT WORK WILL BE A SIMPLE FIX, THERE IS SIMPLY THE 1 LOWER QUARTER THAT NEEDS A PATCH PANEL. THE CAR IS UNMOLESTED & COMPLETE, & MANY OF THE CONVERTIBLE SPECIFIC PARTS WILL SIMPLY CLEAN UP FOR EVEN A SHOW CAR. THE A PILLAR TRIM IS EXCELLENT, & THE QUARTER PANEL 500 INSERTS ARE EXCELLENT. IF YOU HAVE SPENT ANY OF YOUR TIME RESTORING A CLASSIC MOPAR, YOU REALIZE WHAT A HUGE PLUS THE ALMOST COMPLETE LACK OF RUST IS. IF YOU WANT TO FOCUS ON THE HIGH COST OF A #1 RESTO AT A WELL KNOWN RESTO SHOP, WE CAN DEBATE THAT ALL DAY. SUFFICE TO SAY THAT IF YOU FIGURE A PREMIUM RESTO WILL COST 65K AT SUCH A SHOP, & THE CAR WILL ONLY BE WORTH 40K, SO I SHOULD PAY YOU 25K TO TAKE IT OFF MY HANDS, PERHAPS I SHOULD BE ACQUIRING A NICE RESTO PROJECT FROM YOU INSTEAD--WHAT HAVE YOU GOT ? LAST, I DIDN'T BUY THIS CAR TO FLIP IT. I HAVE A REAL 70 FC7/WHITE/WHITE CORONET RT RAGTOP, & I THOUGHT THIS WOULD MAKE A NICE MATCHING 500 DRIVER. I'VE SINCE ACQUIRED AN L78 CAMARO PROJECT THAT WILL OCCUPY MY NEXT 2 YEARS OF SPARE TIME, SO THIS ONE IS BACK IN THE MARKETPLACE. MY NAME IS JOHN. 989 723 8907
