Reader’s Rides: Terry Mick’s 1969 Dodge Coronet R/T

Remember Steven Mick’s 1972 Duster that we posted last week? Well, his dad has a cool Mopar, too! Check out his 1969 Dodge Coronet R/T. It started life as with an automatic but now sports a A833 4-speed and a 8.75 rear w/3.55s. The heads have been ported and polished, heavier valve springs were installed, and its been cammed up with a MP Purple Shaft camshaft.  The original interior was replaced with a Charger interior due to the original interior being in bad condition. More pics after the jump!
