It's a Dodge, whatever it is. The rear fenders look like a Charger. Might try one of their groups, but I believe that hood was offered on a few Challenger convertibles, and didn't come with that car. Normally, the Challenger had scoops like the car in the foreground. I'm really just guessing. I was into Mustang's and Chevelle's back in the day.

I think it is a Dodge Coronet. Check out the various years at:

I think it's a Dodge Coronet... maybe 1970 or so.

It's appears to be either a 1968 or 1969 Dodge Coronet

1970 Dodge Coronet or Superbee. MOPAR B-body. The hood is from a Superbee. Who knows if it came on this car originally.

It's a Chrysler or Plymouth, maybe a Barracuda or perhaps a Challenger R/T

suggest you try to get the vin off it... if not take a look around / inside it .. there should be some sign of what it is...

It's a Mopar B body, which was shared between Dodge and Plymouth. It could have been a Road Runner, a Coronet, a Satellite, or several other models, depending on what bumpers, hood, and tailend were installed.

This was truly a generic automobile and typical of Mopar in the day, when there was no difference at all between Dodges and Plymouths except cosmetics.

This car could have had any engine from a slant six to a 440 6 pack under the hood.

68 or 69 Coronet RT or Charger with an AMX hood on it. Looks like the front fenders are modified to the profile of the AMX hood.

Actually, I diid more looking - that hood profile, except for the scoops, is unique to the 1970 Coronet R/T and Super Bee. (split grille) Front fenders and rear quarters also seem to match. Rear quarters could also be '69 Coronet. (if the :gills" are double scallops. The hood scoops are NOT standard Super Bee They are strangely remeniscent of a 71 Buick GS Stage 1. Actually - I just found a picture of a 1970 Coronet R/T convert with that hood - so I'd make it a '70 Coronet RT (440 or Hemi were the only engine offered in this guise) with the rear fender scoops missing.

-- It looks like a late 60's early 70's Dodge/Plymouth/Chrysler, but the hood scoops don't look like factory.

Every day is a good day- it's just that some are better than others.
