The car is a very rare test and evaluation unit and at one time was sitting next to the Diplomat before he pulled it out of there.

How we got the Coronet? My dad never knew about it and then one of the times he went down to motor transport he bought the wrecked 92 Mustang and he found out about the 74 Coronet when he asked about the white one. They were selling the 74 in a salvage sale. So my dad bought the Mustang and the Coronet. Pretty much the same condition as the white one.
It went to Long Beach PD car when it was new, but had slight roof damage(some one walked on it?) and the LBPD rejected the car. Dodge sold it to the CHP. This 74 (my dads) was the only Coronet the CHP had that year. The car still looks just like the 73, only blue.

Someone did a nice job on putting current decals on the Diplomat...:rolleyes:

Went out and snapped a couple pics of the Coronet today :D

It is in sad shape, but it isn't much worse than it was when my dad got it. You can see it was originally black and white, and it has 12k original miles.
Excuse the dirty-ness lol
