Yes I got it a few weeks ago and these are the photos that the seller sent me in Wisconsin. It is in storage near my work in Pittsburgh, but my photos are not as nice as these sitting in the green grass. I can not wait to take some photos of it sitting with the Demon,

Small world! David claims you are dead........let me back-up. He claims the interior was being restored, but the guy died and no one knew where the original interior was being stored. He had to get aftermarket interior from Legendary. The interior looks great and all is complete. The engine needs minor work as the oil is wicking up the bolts from the intake runner and the carbs are leaking gas. Did this come originally with six pack as it now has a dual 4-barrel? I would love to talk to you to get all the information I can get about the R/T,

Default r/t restoration

My father purchased the car in Omaha Ne, in 92' It was in terrible shape. It came out of Oklahoma where it was a used on the drag strip most of its life. My brother and I did the restoration but never completed the interior. After my dad passed away it got sold to Dave in Wisconsin. I would have kept it but i ended up finding my dads original 69 coronet r/t 440 4spd. car that we are currently restoring. Y2 yellow also.

Dave must have completed the interior restoration. That 440 is as im sure you know not the original. It was pulled out of a NewYorker. The two quad setup works nice and is a torque monster. I jetted the carbs right out of the 69 Hemi manual and they worked great. The exhaust manifolds came off my 68' that i regreted selling on your R/T but didnt have time to replace before the sale.

It was nice to see it again and i hope you enjoy your R/T.

Sorry to hear about your Father. I did not realize or think that you were related to the seller in my earlier comment. The car is amazing and is in good hands. Are all the body panels reproductions or are some original? Did the hood come from a '68 model?

quarters, trunk floor, outer wheel housings, rear window corners and filler plate where all replaced with YearOne metal. Hood was original to car i think. At least it came with it and was Y2. Every part in the suspension was replaced with yearone parts also. I cant wait to get paint on mine this summer. Its been a long process.............
