My Car, a 1967 Dodge Coronet 440 4 door sedan
But this is:
As you can see the rear of the car is a little low. This pic is from a while ago.
I've installed new leaf springs and the rear of the car is more than an inch higher now.
This is how my car looks nowadays. Maybe it looks better a little lower. But that means new torsionbars (440/426 ones),
if you want the same suspension as with the old ones.
But I leave it like this for now. One advantage is, you can drive a lot faster over speed bumbs, before your exhaust hits the ground ;-).

With such an old car there is always something to do. Renew some wiring, fluids, something broken which has to be fixed. Or simply improve something because there are better parts nowadays. Check " Parts I Use " to see whats new.
