    Search function is your friend. Also, look at the member list and look for Mopar related names to start, go to the threads where they post and you will quickly learn who is a good source for anything related to your Coronet.

    I've got a friend who has been hoarding MOPAR stuff for 45 years. His collection of stuff is the largest I have ever seen. If you make up a list of what you need and get it to me, I can call him and ask him if he has it. I can't make any guarantees, but I'd give it real high odds that he might!

    What kind of parts are you looking for??? Do you have a 2 dr or 4dr. I have a 2 dr 59 Custom Royal Lancer. Have you looked on e-bay under 59 Dodge.

    Probably nothing specific, most likely have to get a generic kit from one of the places like Painless & go for it.

    YnZ or rhode island or make one from the old harness. You don't have to go modern unless you want to.:)

    I'm not talking about mirrors and trim type stuff. But he's probably got anything you need in the lines of hard goods. Fuel pumps, etc. I know the other day he handed me a case of vintage MOPAR spark plugs, still in boxes. He's got NOS stuff like that. PM me if there's anything you need and I'll see what I can do.

    I replaced my wiring harness with one from EZ Wiring. I use there kits in all my cars. I think I have a extra pair of outside fender mirrors. I had collected alot of parts when I started rebuilding my 59 Dodge.
    Yes parts are hard as H... to find for these cars. That is why my Dodge has a Chevy 350/700r, Camaro sub frame, trans-am rear end with 4 link. tilt wheel,a/c, power windows. It is now under going a complete repaint and interior job. Roof has been chopped 2 inches, handles shaves and all trim. There is a old picture in my album. I can't figure out how to post pics.
