68 coronet 500

alright, pssbly have a car, its a 68 coronet 500 convertible... its a solid car with everything there. its got the 383 and auto i believe. i havent been able to get much infermation. but i was able to see it(well, somewhat, it being in a dark barn, and no good flashlight...) but, i was wondering what i should expect to pay for this...

If the car is complete and if it's solid underneath, it's worth up to $10k depending on the condition of the paint and interior. The normal rust spots are the torsionbar crossmember, the trunk floor, the passenger floorboards, the framerails. The '68-'70 Coronets are one of my favorites. Post some pics if you get them. If you need parts sources, let me know. I know a bunch of companies that were a big help to me.

of the coronets, 68 is by far my favorite. but alright, thanx for the info... im kinda hoping its not in absolute perfect condition(altought, besides needing a new top, it appeared to be near perfect) and that the owners dont know exactly what theyve got, also doubtful... but, if i go to see it again or if i do manage to acquire it i will post some pics of it... before and after if i manage to get my way...

Check the area on the unibody to which the torsion arms connect. I have been told that some were never quite right in terms of strong welds. Although I like the design, these cars are old and may have seen quite a bit of abuse

That's the torsionbar crossmember. It can cancer out. The way it's positioned on the car it naturally traps road salt.
