1970 Dodge Coronet 500 Convertible
In the fall of 2005 while out doing estimates for fences we got a little lost on some gravel roads in rural Iowa and spotted something orange near a barn, so we turned around and discovered it was a 1970 Dodge Coronet 500 convertible. Spoke to the gentelman and he was not sure he wanted to sell it, but after a year of haggeling he finally cut it loose. One year after tirelessly working on the the car it is back to its former glory. It sports the original 318 and very rare EV2 paint. EV2 was considered a performance color and was very rare for a Coronet 500. Only 5 in this color were built and even fewer had the white interior. The car also sports the extremly rare option of power windows. It does pay to get lost sometimes, you never know what your lucky find might be...
