Drive back went well...no issues at all and Ol' Patches just doesn't seem to care if I put anything on that trailer or not, such a dead nuts reliable tow vehicle! Just before entering Jasper National Park.... Got home about 01:45 and just parked in front of the shop and came inside and went...

Got it loaded on my trailer... ....and then had to find the one and only tire shop open on a Sunday in Edmonton since one of the tires on my trailer had decided to de-laminate during the 8+hr drive and the outside half of the tire was bulging and had worn off all the tread. I ended up...

Update on the Coronet.... When I was out visiting Wally and the coronet in Newfoundland we discussed transport and he said he would do all the leg work on his end since he has had cars and equipment moved all over Canada and knew a bunch of good people. So after a couple weeks I get home from...

Looks great..and that's a pretty good match on the colour! (y)

I'll see how I like the steel rim look with the rims and tires off the wagon....But they are also the cop car rims, but should give me a good idea if I'll like the look of not. If I do like the look then I'll bug 68 for some caps.. ;) ..and then blast and paint some steel rims, and was thinking...

I'm interested, but want to be sure I like the steelies and caps first. ;) I have the 68 Chrysler caps on the wagon...exactly the same but with the 3 crowns in the center.

Totally agree! For what I sold it for and what I bought it back for there is no way I could have put it in any type of storage around BC for 20 years that would have been even close to the difference. ;) Heck I was paying $150 per month for my shop I had the coronet and roadrunner in 20...

Only deterioration I saw was the paint on the steering column is starting to flake off, one of the power windows didn't want to work, and the chrome on the console top plates has gotten a lot worse...it was in OK shape when I sold it but I had used the best pieces I could find at the time...

The car has not changed much in all these years... This is the pic of the odometer I took the day it left on the transport 20 years ago....93,304 miles.... This is the odometer the other day...93,629 miles... A whopping 325 miles in 20 years!

The Coronet is officially mine again...payed for, signed and sealed! I just got back home late last night from my trip out to see the Coronet and meet the fellow who has preserved it all these years. Wally is a super great guy, really enjoyed the two days I spent hanging out with him and...

Probably look at the length of a negative battery cable form a 71-74 B-body...might work?

Car looks very nice...how was it optioned from the factory?

Here is a link to the build thread.... 68 RM23 Roadrunner, The rebuild of an old friend And a couple pics...

Came across this today over on FBBO....not sure it's what you are looking for but thought I'd pass it on.

Welcome to the board....I had a 73 340/auto Roadrunner years ago...fun cars! As for the hood tach...Yes there was a Direct Connection/Hustle Stuff hood tach available back in the day, would need pics of the one you have to confirm if it is a dealer unit or not. Should have part numbers on it...

Ol' Sno-ball is 1985...so nope no early grill. ;)

Good info...Thanks! No I don't have one of the early grills...don't think I have ever had one even though I pulled parts from plenty of the early trucks over the years....Surprised I never even grabbed one just to hang on the wall.

I have always loved the 73 grill, but I do like the 74-76 ones as well, but my concern on the 77-79 units is the placement of the marker lights in the grill and if there would be enough room to clear my large intercooler. But to be honest I don't know if i could run the earlier grill with the...

I'd love a 73-78 grille with the single 7" round headlight, but a 73 would be my preferred, and then toss on my bird bath hood! ;)

I also lucked out and the 93 1st gen parts truck I bought several years ago has camper bars on it, so will be pulling those, cleaning, modifying, painting and servicing those and putting them on Patches.
