Daily driving an A-body

in 96 I bought a 67 Coronet convertible that had been parked for at least 9 years. i was planning on it being a daily driver.

I knew it needed a new top and after getting it home the trans would not go into neutral, drove fine, but in park still in gear, in neutral, still in gear. So got the trans rebuilt.

Had the brakes bleed with power bleeder and done normal stuff. Drove it trouble free 38 miles one way to work during nice weather, just could not bring myself to drive an original paint, almost rust free car on salted roads.

Never got the factory air to work very well, but it was a nice car to drive, OK on gas

I would look for a good car that has been maintained, do the stuff needed for safety, then drive the wheels off it.
