    You got any more info to share? Base model, 440 or 500? What color? 2 Door, right? 68's are a good year, is this one local? If so, I may know the car, I been into Mopars my whole life, I know all the local Mopar parts collectors/hoarders, let me know if you need anything...
    Don't forget the pics when you get it!

    got it for sure. it is a white two door hardtop with a black vynl roof. coronet 440. factory ac car (that will change) i got it from my best friend who passed away recently. i have always loved mopars, but a $hitty a$$ way to get one. one of my other best freinds (69 roadrunner's) dad is a mopar parts guru (crossram connection),and i know a bunch of mopar guys as well, but if i need something, i may be letting you know sooner than you may think regerding parts. i will need a power bulge hood soon, color dont matter

    Hey, did you end up selling the 'stang then or do you still have it? You'll have to pm about your late friend if you think i know him and sorry to hear about that. Plenty of mopar connections here as you know too! Dan

    I'm trying to think of the last 68 Coronet I saw on the road....

    There was a nice yellow 68 R/T that ran around Milw when I had my 69 R/T. I know there was a really rotted 68 R/T in a garage off of the Plainfield curve of the freeway also.

    There is/was a 69 sitting on Loomis road the other day that looked real good though.....

    Wonder where my mom's 68 R/T 440 ended up. Crushed, restored, or still rotting somewhere? Pops said it was rusting pretty good when they sold it in 77. I bet it's still around SE Wisconsin in some fashion or another...

    Can you believe that was the car he talked her into buying when she turned 16...

    A guy my dad works with, rich, says he found his 691/2 6pak bee holding up a sign to a junkyard in the early 80's.
