thanks for the comments guys I lower it a bit when racing(on air shocks),when I eventually get it resprayed I think I`ll have the same colour, just a couple of splits in upholstery to sort out,but I`m really happy with the car, have made a few mods since I got the car last march: reverse pattern manual valve body,self modified standard shifter,"391" gears & suregrip,manual steering box etc." orange box",holley 750 vac. sec. carb,holley 5" filter,headers & 2 1/2" exhaust, & a dent in the front bumper& bonnet trim :oops: ,should I try to repair the bumper or just get fibreglass ones?? any ideas on this?

That is a lovely Coronet.

Vince Donald from Woking has just bought in a similar car from the States. It looks like the same colour. 383 Auto. 'Parked it next to his 69 1/2 Six Pack Bee.

Look out for it next year with a stroker motor, - nuff said.
