« on: June 06, 2007 - 10:49:29 AM »
1968 Coronet R/T  440 engine, all original,115,000 miles on it. The paint is original, so is the engine and tranny and interior (all numbers matching).It is solid as a rock. :2thumbs:

That's very cool!!!  It goes to show that regular maintenance of even a muscle car can prove to keep them running great for a long time. (115,000 miles back in the '60s is reliable!!!)

I rebuilt the tranny. It rolled the sprag in the back of the case but luckily I was able to still use the original '68 case.
