Mexican Market 1967 Dodge Coronet 440 on Craigslist

A 1967 Dodge Coronet said to be a Mexican version is very unique with its Charger grill with hidden headlights. Sporting the original slant six with a three speed manual, it is said to be rust free. I guess there’s not much road salt used in Mexico. See more at Bring a Trailer. Check out the Craigslist ad here. More pics after the jump!

Farmer’s Field Find 1968 Dodge Charger

We just found this very clean 1968 Dodge Charger over in dry Eastern Washington. This car was abandoned in a farmer’s field around 1980 and it has sat ever since. It’s pretty complete except for the tail lights which somebody thought would look cool in a VW bug! The first pic is how we found it and the rest are of the car back together at the shop. Luckily most of the parts were stored in a storage shed and were spared sun damage.
