1967 Coronet 500

Convertible

	History / Condition:

You are bidding on a two family owned, 1967 Coronet 500 convertible. Purchased brand new right here in the Motor City on February 15, 1967 at Colonial Dodge in East Detroit by a local St. Clair Shores family. Then purchased by the current owner’s family about 1975 / 76 and passed on from father to son (the current owner) just a few years ago. Never driven in the winter after its first year or two of life with original mileage. The car is in great “driver” condition. Repainted to the factory original color many years ago (in the 80’s) and the paint shows some age (some checking, etc) and the hood/truck could use to be wheeled/wet sanded to remove the oxidation on the paint surface. The engine compartment is clean and was lightly detailed within the past few years (components cleaned, parts re-painted, etc.). The 318 V-8 engine starts right up and runs well with no noted problems (no noted smoking, no known leaks - but could likely have minor drips here and there as most older collectables do). The automatic transmission shifts well, as it should. The power convertible top opens and closes as it should. Tires have excellent tread as you can see in the pictures. Over the years (and in the more recent years) the car has: Newer alternator, battery, power steering serviced with new hose, shocks, front and rear bumpers re-chromed, carpet replaced. The original wheel covers (hub caps) are included as well as the nice period correct wire wheel covers that are shown in the pictures. The car has been driven yearly as a summer pleasure car since the early 70’s and is ready to get in and drive with no known problems other than the likely and typical minor convenience issues (likely some courtesy lights do not work, a gauge here or there, etc.). As stated, this is a nice, solid, very presentable “Sunday driver” as they say, this is not a show car, but could be made into a show type car if someone desired. I have detailed pictures trying to show the usual and expected cosmetic issues one would find on a nice “driver” of this age.

I have this listed for sale for my neighbor and the only reason the car is being sold is that it is not being driven or used much anymore so it is time for it to go to a new home where it will be driven and enjoyed. Comes with the original Owner’s Manual that is filled out / typed with the full vehicle identification information and original buyer information (as shown in the pictures) as was done by the dealerships back in the day. Also includes the original Chrysler “build sheet” that I personally removed from the rear seat springs exactly where is was put when the vehicle was built.

I understand it can be hard purchasing an item like this via the web, sight unseen, etc. You only have the seller’s history, reputation, the pictures, etc. to go on. Therefore I have posted over 40 pictures of the car and tried to provide a detailed description to the best of my ability. I have bought and sold many, many collectable cars, bikes, and boats via ebay and the web over the years (please feel free to review my feedback in detail, you will see many of the collectable cars, bikes, etc. I have sold) and I try hard to do my best to make every transaction complete successfully – as I will do here.

Pickup / Shipping:

The winning bidder is responsible for pickup / shipping / transportation / etc. of the car. There are a number of good shipping / transport companies and I have shipped many cars, boats, motorcycles, etc. and I can assist the winning bidder with the transport, shipping, etc. I can also deliver the car as long as I am compensated for gas, time, etc. (within a reasonable distance) as I have a trailer I could transport it in. The car is located in Novi, MI (Novi is about 20 minutes West of Detroit Metro Airport).
