69 R/T stolen, and abandoned decades ago, in San Bruno California right off San Bruno blvd and Burrows st.

It a community garden center that I saw this 69 Coronet R/T laying there, it was abandoned decades ago right there and they kept it there as they built an art garden.

Logan found a 68 Coronet for his dad! He pulled it out of a barn, it's got a 383. He's upgrading it to a 4 barrel. If he's gunning for coolest kid on Fathers Day, he'll pop on headers, new pipes and mufflers too, and put in some 3.23s!

seen on the walk today

I had no idea that they kept the Nomad name around this long 

not many B bodies get upgraded the full way to race track ridiculous. I think this is probably an AI generated image though, it mixes 68 rear panels, with 69 tail lights, and has fake wide body wheel wells

Car Craft magazine gave the LA Roadsters Club a hemi Coronet convertible, and Riverside race track, to test it out

It was a hemi with 727 auto, and 3.23 gears, and ran 14.1 seconds at 98 mph, on stock rubber. Putting Mickey Thompson cheater slicks on didn't change either of those numbers. 

Hot Rod magazine got the car later, and with Dougs headers and a change with an ignition curve kit made it a second quicker and 8mph faster

tv series, Dark Winds takes place in 1971, and has some very cool late 60s vehicles.

Because it's a tv series, with limited budget, they didn't go for accuracy, or authenticity in the right vehicles - but they sure did choose some cool vehicles 

 Curbside looked into what really was used  https://www.curbsideclassic.com/blog/cc-tv/netflix-dark-winds-blows-its-automotive-casting/ back in 1970

Damn, this is how to figure out the biggest tire that will fit, and probably, the right backspacing for the rim too. Info on the tire, is that it's 315/35/20 (12.6 x 28.7”)

Dick Landy's full race Coronet... way cool, I've never seen this car before

It's been too long since I've had the time to just look through fun 60s race car photos
