Project 'Iron maidan" 1965 Coronet 2 door post sedan


Another one added to the stable , This time not a A-Body .

Before leaving to the New England Nationals Tuesday Night I was browsing Craigslist and I came upon this car about a hour from the track. Great opportunity. we were only bringing the S/G car and left the stocker home. We took a break Wednesday Night when we got there and ended up buying it for a very very great! deal. I had it shipped Friday morning to the track and loaded it up.





This is The written story we got with the car

Edith Anderson of Kennebunk Me. worked as a office manager/secretary at Snowden Motors In Kennebunk. She ordered the Coronet from the dealership with only Hubcaps, power steering and a Day/night mirror. She was very frugal and probably considered a radio as a extravagance as The car is a factory Radio Delete.. Edith ordered a new coronet in 1970 and sold the 1965 to her sister Alice Mclnnes. Alice drove the coronet until she stopped driving, and the car sat behind her sons house where she was living. In where they did some shade tree repairs and had it painted at the high school auto shop. Kylie (girl we bought it from) drove the car through high school and part of college until the motor got locked up. The car has been sitting in and out of the garage ever since.


The car has 42,000 orig. Miles. The doors open and shut amazing. The car has the orig radio delete plate in the glove box and all the service records from when it was new and owners manual, even the orig. dealer window sticker and fender and vin tag.


The owners I bought it from took the engine apart and it is now in boxes in the car. They repaired the rear floors with some sheet metal. the trunk floor is solid same as the floors. the quarters are rotted above and in front of the wheel and might have some bondo behind the wheels. The doors and rockers are very solid. the fenders are solid other than the dog leg on both sides. the inner fenders are also very solid. The int. is all orig. and smells like the famous "old car smell" , I have no set plans for the car at this moment. I got a smoking deal on it , I just couldn't pass it up., :D
