1970 Dodge Coronet 500
Hello everyone.
I have always loved mopars! Had a 68 Super Bee back in the day with a 440 sixpack! They were a dime a dozen back then. Gave it to my dumb brother in law, thinking I would keep it in the family. I graduated to luxury. LOL! He totalled it in one week!
Back in 1987, I saw and bought a 1970 Dodge Coronet 500 for $500 from a guy in Reading PA. Drove it home to Philadelphia and had it in my garage for the next 15 years! Sold that home 4 years ago and had to bring it where I am now. Only a one car garage here, so it sits outside.
Of course it doesn't start now and needs a lot of work.
Just don't know when or how or what to do first!
Help!

Welcome! 
What does it have for a drivetrain? You may want to pull the plugs and squirt some Marvel Mystery Oil into the cylinders and turn the motor by hand. Change all the fluids and then try starting it up. The body doesn't look too bad.

Thanks
Thanks for the advice guys.
I checked the vin years ago WP23G0A215679
So I know it orginally came with a 318 ci.
When I bought it, came with a 383ci.
Looks like the only person that ever rode in it was the driver(s)
That seat is the only one worn. Dash and headliner and all are in great condition. But the shift console was missing.
In fact, I used a vise grip as a shifter to drive it the 35 miles home!
