Seller's Description:

1959 Dodge Coronet 4-door Sedan

• condition: good
• cylinders: 8 cylinders
• transmission: automatic
• odometer: 115,000
• exterior color: Black · Interior color: Black
• title status: missing

Older resto done in the 80s still looks pretty good. Trunk pan replaced and a couple small spots done on floor. New brakes all around. Starts with touch of the key, idles, shifts, stops as it should.

 

Paint shines but looks old. I touched up the white. New brakes, wheel cyl. Big old girl floats down the road as you'd expect. Power steering. About the coolest car I've seen in a long time. Push button tyranny.

 

Sat in garage since 87 or so. Power seat still works. I wouldn't do anything but patch the seat. These late 50s, early 60s big winged autos are highly sought after and hold their value well. No trades.

With a missing title, interior issues, rust spots showing in the right front door jam, this car is over priced.

No way to come out well with this car ---

even at 1/2 the price, you'd be lucky to clear your "investment" by selling parts. 

Dubious if securing proper paperwork would be worth it in effort, expense or time.

I don't think the fins painted white are correct. Typically, Coronets with contrasting fins had either the top or the body under the chrome strip painted to match the fins. Often both.

That makes sense.
