1969 Dodge Coronet R/T Convertible Restoration Project
Here is another major restoration project for us. It is a 1970 Coronet R/T convertible 440-4 with a
pistol grip 4-speed. To make it even more rare is that it is a real air grabber with a 4:10 dana rear end.
Only 16 440-4 convertibles with a 4-speed were made and only 2 came with an air grabber and only 3 came with a
4:10 dana and no other one was known to have been made in this color, a true one of one. Restoration
had been started years ago but the work that was done was of poor quality. It is a numbers
matching car, both motor and transmission. It came with a build sheet and
Galen documentation. It is a total basket case given to us with a heap of parts but hey, for a car like this,
no job is too big. The color is dark tan metallic (T6) with black interior, black top and a black bumble bee
stripe.

You have to start somewhere!







2/12/2009 - Update: Taking it all apart





6/4/2009 - Update: Blasted, Primed, New Floor, engine completed (Dyno 505hp, 503 ft-lbs)









9/2/2009 - Update: Progress continues on the body. There was a lot of repair that had to
be done to get this car where it needs to be. But we are slowly getting it there.
