Hey muscle car guys. Know someone selling a 1967 Coronet with a 318 in it. Pics of the car below. They say is runs but needs work. They want $2400 for it.... is the car worth it?

Bad interior shot.

Wow that pic brings back some memories. My GTX was a '67.

Prolly have to defer to Khyron on the value - I would say no (mostly 'cause it's a 4-door) but then the prices on these things have gotten ridiculous since I got out of the MoPar Biz...

I can say that an RB motor (383 and up) will fit into that thing with room to spare and is capable of motoring it along quite smartly. The combination of weight, build quality (like a bank vault), and torsion bar front suspension made my '67 the best riding car I've ever owned...

I agree with Metal. 4 door + 318 small block + needs work = no more the $1000

not even close to worth $2400.

Though Mopars have gone up in price, it's for the more desirables, Roadrunners , chargers, GTX, ect.... even the small block cars are getting some decent money, but that has 2 too many doors on it, if it was a 2 door, i would say yes it's close to the value, unfortunatoly, the extra doors kill the value.

and OMFG on the Joe Dirt foot gas pedal!, cracked dash, engine compartment is black, should be body color, I would hate to see what it's hiding, don't look like a straight body line on the whole car, looks like it needs quarters and no one makes the quarters for a 4 door coronet, so it would have to be used...

it's sad but there is a whole lot of nothing right there.

Thanks Metal and Khyron. Just wanted to make sure I was not walking away from an opportunity. Apparently I would be better off running from it.

I noticed most of the body problems right off, didn't know about the engine bay. I am guessing this is a poor repaint. Didn't know how bad the 4 door thing hurt it... but it makes sense. No aftermarket for replacement parts! No way we're touching that!

Thanks again!

Good call. Run away from that one.

Hell, If you're looking for a resto project, I'll sell my Olds for a grand. It's not as desirable as the same year Nova, but it's almost identical, uses the same parts, and probably holds more valure than that Coronet.

If i ate a piece of my charger, then shit it out, it would hold more value then that coronet


naaaaaa, thats harsh, but you get the point

wait.... are you looking for something? or just happen to stumble on that one?

Mostly just stumbling. Like I said, I/we didn't want to miss an opportunity if it was one. Whether or not I (or actually my brother) am looking for something would depend on the cool factor and the price. Why, what have you got?

don't have anything im selling, just figured i would keep my eyes open for you if i find something, 2 months ago if i had known i was told about a 1960 Ford Thunderbird, big block stick car for sale for $1200, solid southern car, it didn't last long, almost thought about buying it for myself, but then i would get killed by my wife hehe
