Reviving My Late Friend's 1967 Dodge Coronet Restoration Project 

That’s a really nice car and I too went through 5 years of Hell with cancer treatments and I’m still alive and I’m still working on my 64 Dodge 440 trying to get all those little things fixed so I can drive it maybe some day.

Drove one just like this one all through high school.

What a beauty, and sorry for your loss. Great video!

You said, "It's far from perfect." To which I replied (out loud, mind you) "But perfect from a-far"

A great sunny day to tell Bill's story it's crazy how car's bring people together and leave their mark with it.

Beautiful car Bill had, sorry to hear of his passing.

Had a 66 Coronet in the late 70's ....got it cheap because the 318 poly had thrown a rod. Took the 383 Magnum and 4spd/posi from a wrecked Super Bee and swapped them in. Don't think it even cost me $600.... the good old days.

6x cancer survivor myself. Yes, it very much sucks...sorry to hear of your friends' passing. As Norm MacDonald said once though - you don't lose to cancer. It dies with you. So that's a tie....🙂 On a more cheerful note, I have managed to bring my own Mopar back from the dead during all the recoveries from this and that medical crap over the years (poorly made videos available on my channel), so there's that I suppose. Anyways, I'm still here and so is Fred the GTX and I guess that counts for something, right? - Ed on the Ridge

I can't believe I missed this video previously. I love 66-67 coronets. Thanks for sharing this jewel with us. This and the black one you also showed would be such a nice pair to have side by side in the garage.

Sorry to hear about your friend. Nice 67 Coronet when I was younger I had a chance to buy a 67 R/T Coronet and to this day I kick myself for not buying it.

I had a green 2 door 67 383. 2 barrel dark green really nice shape in around 1986..it was a coronet 440 model also there beautiful cars

There was one in the family way back sans the 440 badge. It was gold with black interior. As a kid I admired the styling.

In memory of Bill , didn't know him but ill think of him. Cheers Sir.

Wow - takes me back..my first car was a ‘67 Coronet 440 hardtop - 318 automatic, but light yellow with a black interior. Had to fix major rust and paint it in ‘75 - called every wrecking yard in the Buffalo and Rochester NY Yellow Pages (you youngin’s have no idea…) looking for front fenders and found three. Put Magnums and white walls on it after the paint was done. God, I loved that car - still have the left over front fender, all the trim and the Magnums in my loft. For the next one…

Well, I'm only 10 months behind seeing this. I think it's a nice looking Coronet! I hope Bill enjoyed it.

I fell for the "Just adjust the slop out of the box" thing once too. Had the same effect.

Kudos to Bill for doing what he did to that car. One of the best designs to come from Detroit. Had 67 500. Great car. Cancerous suck. Lost my best man to it.

Nice car. I love coronets. Sorry to hear about your friend. I recently lost an old friend I knew since the 1970s.

Another great video DDG! I had the Plymouth version of this one, same color but a 383 two barrel , sold it to buy my first house. I need to find another.

Cancer does suck. What a nice old Coronet, just needs some TLC.

Beautiful car. ❤❤❤

It reminds me of the Coronet 440 my parents had when I was a child. Same color, body style and 440 trim level. Our car had the 273 V8, automatic transmission, but no factory air.

thanks for the video sweet car would love haveing one people suffering through cancer is the worst do what you can for them

Beautiful car! The 67’ coronet RT has always been one of my faves. 370hp is a really stout 318 by the way! I think Bill did a pretty good job of loving that car back to glory, I hope whoever ends up with it does the same. Great video Jamie, Bill sounds like one of those friends that was a challenge and probably made you grow from it😅!

You are the Doctor for any Mopar I would own.

To Bill 🍺

Great video

Nice Coronet, I'd love to own it. Live it channel, I live about 10 miles east of Salem Oregon. I know you live in Washington state. I own a 1966 Coronet 440 that now has a 1969 imperial 440 that's been warmed over, I've had it 50 years now. Runs 12.50's at Woodburn dragstrip through the mufflers with slicks.

Well done Sir.

RIP BILL love your MOPAR . 👍🏻🇦🇺💯⛽️

Props to Aberdeen! My mom and grandma both went to Wetherwax HS. Sorry to hear about Bill 😢

Went through cancer myself a few years ago. 12 months of surgery and treatment was hell. Wouldnt recommend it. Bought myself a 71 Satellite Sebring as a therapy car. Rare sight in Australia. Sorry to hear about Bills passing. Hopefully the car ends up in caring hands.

You are right. Never get involved selling someone elses car

Having a conversation with yourself is fine , disagreeing with yourself not so much , Anyhoo lovely Coronet , sad Bill passed before he got it where he wanted it

I enjoy seeing you revive the patient .

LOVE this car!

I owned the identical car when I was in High School. (1990)

Yeah, you should buy it!

MY GALPAL MAINTAINS,LOVES,MAKES IT LIVE 1960S FOUR DOOR MOPAR SHE WOULD WET HER PANTS IF I CAME HOME WITH HER.SHE WORKS AT AN AUTO PARTS STORE .LOVE YOUR CHANNEL,BRAE🎉❤

color, stance, wheels perfect love the look!

So that's the 67 you talked about you wanted. Well maybe it will still come to pass. It's nice

Condolences to Bill and his family, cool car

Beautiful!

That is a very nice car, thanks for sharing with us, Great Content!

Yeah I got the gist on that model designation. It's still a Mopar . R.I.P. William . Yo silly ? He liked you .

That's a gorgeous ride🇺🇸👌

Im a huge wagon fan so im really loving that wagon! Also im sorry for your loss.

OMG THEY LOOK AWESOME SIDE BY SIDE.

That thing is sweeet! ;)

that car looks really nice

THE CAR!!! The nice car!!! I name the car Alexander the………pretty good.

Sad story, cool car. I talk to myself often, usually while working. Clearing a drain, trouble shooting a circuit, Re stringing a guitar, wiring a model railroad etc. What I never do is talk to myself by the river, that's just bat shit crazy lol.

No Doubt , cancer sucks... Great Video ( Bill thinks I'm Idiot ) 😂

It really is a beautiful car.

Great car watched my father lose his battle with Cancer its hard.

Doin' the right thing.

Great epitath, and that full 360 degree horn ring is akin to the story of Bill still being a'round' even if he is a bit muted currently. Jamie you have to get the horn blaring for Bill!

A neighbor had a 4 door , gold with a 273. It was in decent shape but the neighbor was on drugs and ran it out of oil and made it knock loud. Rest in peace to Bill.

I lost my dad to renal cancer and inherited the one new car he ever bought, a 66 Coronet 500 SE crew cab with a 273. I rebuilt it with stock, flat top Egge pistons and a mild Isky cam. The pistons suck because they are low in the deck. Runs great but compression sucks. I'm contemplating blowing it apart again and installing high compression pistons. I still run a stock 2bbl but I have a factory 273 4bbl intake on standby as soon as I find a decent AFB with the small throttle plates. Pertronix replaced points and that helped compensate for a worn distributor shaft bushing. I'd be happy with 250 hp vs the 200 it has.

Nice car!!! I bet Bill is stoked you are sorting it. Most people I know are idiots, but i’m still rather fond of them! 😊

Eddie, what I learned from you these cars are family cars. Then the idea came in let's put a big motor In her and nice decals' genius idea. Seems like the Viper was the first made for what it is. Not that open wheel car

I hope you never have to have that experience we're glad to see you keeping them all part legends alive and I know my brother 1st car was a 67 Orange Dodge Stephen so that's exactly why I started watching your channel Which in today's world would probably get him called a racist because when he bought it someone had painted a competitor flag on the top of it which one of the cool reasons he bought it but I remember him having it when I was I think 4 or 7 years old because he gave me a set of keys to it and 20 years later when I finished my 67 tomorrow as far as I could before he died unexpectedly I gave him a set of keys to it and I told him I said it's as much yours as it is mine because I wouldn't have it without you because you're the guy that helped me build it so I know what family and cars can mean so that's what I said about you possibly selling it back to his daughter even if his widow won't Let you or does Eventually she'll want and I'm sure even if they don't want it right now they will forget selling it if I sell it to anyone but you because they won't be able to get it back trust me I know

"There's a guy back there by the river having a conversation by himself...how interesting." says the guy driving by talking to himself...

Thanks for directing me to Tom to get my transmission dipstick. I wonder where you plan to get the power brake booster rebuilt? The one in my 65 Monaco is also bad. I really like the Coronet. Its really a nice car. Regards from Ody Slim

Nice car but just needs some TLC . 👍🏻💯🇦🇺⛽️

If I owned it I would install a 440 engine so the words on the side match the engine. Sorry to hear about your associate

How could it be too nice! Your demon is nicer snd you own that! So why not this beauty?

That car is pretty cool, sorry Bill didn’t have more time to enjoy it. Yep cancer sucks, the surgeries, the multiple radiation treatments, the multiple chemo treatments, the shit you put your family through and the time it takes to get your life back together. Yeah it sucks

Awesome engine but it needs headers 👌

I think Bill meant well .

No, that is a really nice car.

Can’t believe it runs at all with that street demon carburetor.

I heard you tell us on your video that you don’t sell cars or parts and I totally understand but maybe you can send me the right direction where I can find the outside door lock rods the go between the lock and the latch that I’m missing on my 64 Dodge 440. Geebop in Texas.

Is there a better sound in the world than the sound of a Mopar gear reduction starter when an old Mopar is struggling to start? I don’t think there is. An old Ford truck might be second.

@14:41, Jamie ...is this your home? Dang you are a lucky fella if it is... if not then some one is.

🎉 But Dale I hope you get a chance to buy it maybe if you even sell it back to his daughter if she wants it for what you paid for it this is wrong if you don't get it where it's sold completely outside the family to some crazy dealer or something like that or no one can recover it that would enjoy it and know where it came from

I am getting sucked in , LoL

Just gonna mention that heavy consistent cannabidiol treatments help some people defeat certain cancers.

Sweet car! Hey, what do u attribute that shaking on the engine? My 318 started to do that. Im lookin at richness of fuel, vaccium leaks or motor mounts? Any idea?

The factory adjustment procedure on the steering gear box shouldn't be followed. Overtigten the screw on the nut on the top a bit to get the output shaft gear tight into the worm gear. Then tighten the giant nut on the end of the steering box to take the play out. Then loosen the screw and locknut on the top.

Cool car to bad about how you got it

You think it's hard to make the trim level match the engine size? Imagine having a Valiant 770. Where am I going to find an engine that big? 😁

Have the valve seats been hardened for no lead gas .?????

Man thought something about you, his family called you. Just saying . I always liked that body style

Nice Coronet! Could you buy it?

ALL THE MONEY WE GIVE CANCER .THERE IS A CURE . B.S.

I believe your employer could broker the deal. I was hoping it had a six cylinder or a 383 . 318 not so much sorry.🎉😂❤

so what happen to the car now?

I really dig these old Mopars NO interest in the modern . Nope

Nice if somewhat sad story. But you at least you still have me to call you an idiot.

Sorry to hear about the passing of your friend bill. Unfortunately cancer treatment including chemotherapy is 90 percent failure. The only reason chemotherapy is pushed is because the doctors bank account gets bigger. Another little trivial fact, the third largest cause of death in the United States Dr malpractice. Are medical people should be held accountable but we know that will never happen

i wish you could talk normal..

I Like that. Sorry about the previous owner, maybe you should PM me on FB or send me an email....
