Got to agree with you on that one

I did not like the split bumper on these cars when they were new. But, they have grown on me over the years. A good friend has a convertible 500 model that looks a lot like this car, except it is Coronet station wagon green. :lmao: Very nice looking car you have there. :cheers:

Having seen that car in person I can say it looks great! They did a great job on that convert! Fran should be proud. :drool:

beautiful car a buddy is doing a '70 Super Bee clone. I like the looks of the front. He was behind me onthe way home from a show, and I thought that sucker just looks mean!

I think that year is growing on me as well. I like the convertibles in that year especially.

Very nice and rare!

Very Nice! Red and Rare, like a good new york strip.

Thanks gentlemen for your kind remarks.
It took me two years of negoiations to purchase that car and then only after the roof of the garage it was in caved in and smashed it.
When I went to look at it the first time I was talking myself out of buying another restoration car (after the 69 RR)
But when he opened the door and I saw the front, I was hooked.
My son was with me and he said the front looked like it wanted to tare into you.
At the time I had no idea how rare it was. I just wanted a convertible.
He put a little gas in the carb, hit the key and it was running.
We closed the door and I counted the money over the hood.
He said I was the third owner, that his wife had bought the car from her brother, who bought it new, and that if his wife had been with him, I wouldn't be leaving with this car
I asured him that I was going to restore the car and keep it, not turn it around
They must have regretted selling the car because in the seven years that I've owned it they never once returned any of my calls, or my wifes, asking some questions about the car.
The total US production of 70 coronet R/T convertibles was 236
208 with 440 mag. tourque flight
27 FE5 bright red
So, there you have the simple version of how I came across my 70 coronet
Thank for all your guesses and patience with the mystery car.
Mopar Entusiast mag. did a photo shoot of the car while I was in Carlisle. Maybe it will make the pages someday
Thanks again.

There is something about the front end on the 70 Coronet series that gets me going too!

Red, 440 and a ragtop.

I do not believe there is much better.

 

[roadrunnerh]

That car looks gorgeous in person!
