Dodge Coronet Wagon 1968

[sportabout]

3D Coronet Wagon 1968 is for sale on ebay www.ebay.com/itm/375528952829?itmmeta=01J2VYVP7TPBKTY9B7MMY15ZD8. There is something wrong here, at least the dashboard is from 1970. What about the interior, body or chassis?

Or is it Rallye dash?

It appears to me that the rear of the roof doesn't go back far enough.

Definitely off kilter!!!

Yeah, rear of the roof does seem "off" a bit - rear axle looks like 9" Ford, and leaf springs look too short, too.
Rallye dash wasn't available for non= R/T or Super Bee, IIRC.
Rear inner wheelhouses also differ IIRC, mine I think had a big "lump" for the spare ?
Ft suspension is interesting, but looks GM, and trans crossmember is odd.

Nevertheless, I have to give them credit for the effort, especially being a niche body style.

I don't think the kit is worth buying, even if the chassis could be taken from the AMT '68 Roadrunner.

That's a nice restoration...

The only modern day SUV that could hope to be that cool is a Dodge Durango!!

[topside]

That's gorgeous, and a base model to boot - those were more likely to lead a hard life.
I had a similar deal many years ago; a '70 Satellite wagon that was basically ordered like a Road Runner.
Not that nice, but similar with 383, HD suspension, 11" brakes, AC, Road Wheels ("Magnums").

Looks like he's just printing 3D files found on the web.

I've looked at some of these before... sometimes the body is passable, but the running gear and chassis are often way wrong or look like complete guesswork. This one definitely falls into the guesswork category.
