1958 Dodge Coronet 2dr hardtop. 325 Poly motor with pushbutton auto. Originally solid white with red and black interior. Previous owner told me the motor was rebuilt but is locked up from sitting and not being fired, I have no way of knowing that for sure though. I have a open title in in previous owners name. I also have the broadcast sheet for the car. I posted the broadcast sheet on forwardlook.net and according to there decoding it has alot of nice options. Dual antenna, power steering, power brakes, white walls, spinner hubcaps and I believe an upgraded interior. Missing passenger side rear window glass but the frame is there and it is a flat piece of glass so it can be made by a glass shop. Has some rust. Front fenders have rot out at the top front. Most of the trunk pan will need to be replaced. The floor pans are very decent. The only rot out that I found is in the front floor pans that I took pictures of which I think is unusual for these cars. I looked further at the rear of the floor pans and there is one hole about the size of a silver dollar on drivers side and some pin holes near the rocker on the passager side. Rockers must have been replaced at some time because they have surface rust but are not rotted out like most these cars. Interior is present but will need to be replaced. Door panels are fairly decent. I do not have a radiator, heater box or the gas tank for this car. Car was an attractive white with the red and black interior. Again, for a Coronet this car was optioned well. I have a drivers side patch panel for the quarter. Car is definitely a great candidate for restoration and has a lot of potential. Most of these cars are rotted out much further then this car. Located 8 miles west of Indianapolis. Car will need to be trailered but does roll fine e-mail wm21h8@hotmail.com
