Hi guys, a lot of you already know me, was last a member when I had the 71 RoadRunner clone. Well after a string of Mopars going through my hands for a living I couldn't resist buying one for myself, it's a 67 Coronet 2dr Hardtop 440, its a 383 air con matching numbers car, two previous owners (first until 2014) its in Butternut Yellow with black Vinyl top. Arrives 11th April from the U.S. so will post up a few pics once I get it here. I'm contemplating putting my old 470ci drag engine in this ! Comments welcome ! As the saying goes "Mopar or no car" . Ive been converted without any doubt.

Hi and welcome back Al not sure if I know you, how long ago did you leave? Good to see old members returning especially essex boys. If your looking for a home for your old race engine I have a home for it that will go nice in my 72. How much do you want for it

You might know my car Simons old petty roadrunner? Look forward to seeing pics when your car arrives.

Welcome back Al. I probably wasn't around when you were last here ?
Sounds a cracking car. Any pics ?

As Bilko said. The Essex Wing is growing.
A fellow Romfordian too

Hi guys, thanx for the warm welcome. I got bit with the Mopar bug when I bought the 71, since then I've had a few Mopars and love them more than other Marques so when this 67 Coronet came along I decided it's a keeper. Don't know wether to jus set the rake on it and use as is with a nice set of wheels on it or go the fit the 470ci high lift cam route which will mean, tranny, axle and suspension upgrade at a minimum. Decisions decisions !!!!!
