The Coronet was one of many Chrysler B-bodied intermediates in the late 1960s. On the Dodge side, the portfolio included the Charger, Super Bee, and Coronet from 1968 to 1970, with the latter being mostly a family car. Coronet choices included the 440, 500, and R/T editions, with convertibles only available in 500 and R/T garb. The seller’s 1970 500 drop-top was one of only 924 made, making it rare then and even more so today. Located in Pelzer, South Carolina, this stripped-down, unfinished project is available here on craigslist for a lofty $35,000. This tip comes our way via “Zappenduster”.

Quite a few B-bodied Chryslers made their mark after the redesign of 1968. The Dodge Charger and Plymouth Road Runners were the hottest duo but you can’t overlook the Super Bee and Plymouth GTX which sold in smaller quantities. And then there was the Coronet, which outsold them all at nearly 115,000 units (including sedans and station wagons). The seller’s dormant convertible once wore Top Banana paint, one of the hot “Hi-Impact” colors of the day.

This Dodge left the factory with a 383 cubic inch V8, which is out of the car, is numbers-matching, and has been rebuilt. It’s paired with a column-shifted TorqueFlite automatic transmission, condition unknown. We’re told the Mopar was in storage in Oklahoma for 35 years, but we don’t know when the vehicle was disassembled. It has a white bench seat interior, which we assume will need to be redone.

According to the seller, this Dodge is ready for bodywork and new paint, but surely you’ll have to source something new as we don’t see a complete machine in the photos. This looks like a lofty and expensive undertaking with a robust baseline price just to acquire the foundation. But how many of the original 924 copies could still be around?
