Vehicle Detail

Up for sale is a 1969 Dodge coronet 500 convertible. Numbers matching drivetrain with a high percentage of original parts and Trim. While it doesn't look like a 145,000 + mile car, I have to assume that the 5 digit odometer has turned over. Despite it's age it is in good shape. I have driven this all the way out to Albany New York in this to my home near Cape Cod, and feel confident getting in and driving. As always with any used car there are high points and low points and I will try to address those separately. I have had this car for just shy of 2 years and it hasn't given me any issues. I had the typical dream to turn this into a 440 powered beast, but my family and I have started to really enjoy using our RV, which is another expensive hobby, so something has to give. I will describe this car to the best of my ability but feel free to ask any questions. I reserve the right to end this auction early if I choose to do so.I am listing this car for a good bit less than when I bought it, as in this economy these classics aren't getting what they used to a few years ago. That said, it is still a rare B Body convertible which is a desirable product for MOPAR fans, and I will NOT consider any further price drop The Good:Original Drivetrain, with what appear to be the original key engine parts and accessories.All new fluids: Oil,Transmission,Brake Fluid,Coolant,rear differential fluid, New thermostat and Upper radiator hose. Also Brand new Battery and Plugs within the last year.Tires we newly added when I bought the car and have good tread life and are in good condition.Current Massachusetts inspection sticker (Mass has one of the tougher Inspection programs in the USA)Convertible top seems to be a fairly recent replacement and is in good shape, although the 2 top locks seem to be the originals.Top goes up and down quickly and smoothly without noises or issues.Aside from a rip in the driver's seat and a worn down carpet the interior is in good shape. I think you could fix the seat and carpet and have a great looking interior. Center console is beautifulBrakes appear to be in good shape too. stops wellEngine runs clean and starts right up and transmission shifts smoothly. No groans or noises from rear differential.Doors close easily and I see no signs of stress cracks in body or frame. Glass is also in good shape and the bumpers look like new.Framework has had some welded repair sections which I tried to capture in pics. Professional repairs which hold up well. Ran this car by Auto Rust Technicians in Rhode Island after I brought it home and they thought the car was pretty sweet. The not so good:May not show in the pictures, but the front passenger fender was creased by the prior owner. It has been pushed out but is not 100% perfectCar will someday need right rear 1/4 patch panel and left rear 1/4 skinI think it may need a partial trunk panel if you really wanted to re do it to showroom fresh. Frame work could benefit from a grinding and a coating of POR 15, but the car is strong and in good shape. I have worked to describe this vehicle to the best of my ability but it is almost 45 years old and is sold as is with no warranty either written or implied. Buyer is responsible for all taxes and shipping. 500.00 non refundable deposit is required within 24 hours of auction close, and Low/no feedback bidders Must contact me prior to bidding, or you bid will be rejected. I work weekends but will do my best to accommodate anyone who wishes to see the car in person, or have a representative stop by in their place. Valid and clear mass title in my name.I will work with US and international buyers. Please note that funds must be paid in full via cash,bank transfer or paypal before car and title are released Thanks!
