sounds great......looks like its close........

 

[dutchrunner]

Thanks George .

Is't from a friend . The 68 coronet R/T that Mike Landy raced was damaged beyond repair during transport of charger and coronet between 2 race events.
The Charger was fixed but the coronet not.
That's why there are only a few photos of the 68.
So is was hard to get all the detail right.

I would like to see more of your car, as I remember the original go across the block at Barrett Jackson shortly before you started the project :cheers: It was yours that is the clone of the race car right

 

[dutchrunner]

That's right. Wish it was the other way around.

that's gonna be sweet! there's a guy on moparts that has a '69 Sox & Martin road runner, and his buddy has a '68 Landy Coronet (both tributes) wonder just how bad the original Landy car was hurt. what wasn't considered fixable, or worth bothering with would/could probably be taken care of today, if for no other reason because it's a Landy car.

 

[roadrunnerh]

Very cool Dodge!

 

[dutchrunner]

When I did my resto I wanted to make it a S&M clone .
The guy where I was working on my car said it was not a good idea.
He said : "You can never sell a car like that".

Boy , am I sorry I never did that .
But the Ted Struse is nice alternative.

Hey guys I was searching for Landy 1968 Coronet and came acroos this thread. I am curious about the comment that the 68 Coronet was destroyed - perhaps it was the 1969 that was destroyed. I have pretty clear evidence of the 1968 Coronet that Mike Landy campaigned being turned in to and re-sold by White Bear Dodge in White Bear Lake MN as I have a copy of a newspaper ad listing this car for sale as well as the 1967 Landy Coronet. The guy that ended up with the 1967 gave me the ad at the Mopar Show in Farmington MN last year. I also have strong evidence that my Dad (who has passed away) ended up with the car as when we stripped away the silver paint White Bear Dodge applied there was the red panel on the side and the blue and red panel on the hood and trunk as well as the white bumblebee stripe around the back. The car was repainted and campaigned in Super Stock around the midwest in the 70's as Alley Oop and sold in the early 80's when he built a Challenger of the same name. I will try to post pics of the ad as well as the repainted car. Thanks.
