I was not done with my first restoration project when another dropped in my lap. The first is gray rose metallic, so she is name Rose, the second is Deep Ruby metallic, so she is Ruby. I love it.
This one is as nasty as they come I am sure, just look at her. Then look at the brakes, engine and transmission. All renewed very professionally. Of only 1347 Crown Sedans made, I can only find 17 including this one, many of those are in junk yards or overseas. Being good at demo derby contests, it took its toll!

Hello All,
I'm Doug Sako (Sluggo) I live in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, PA. I now have a 67 LeBaron, my 2nd, which I picked up from the Gesswein Auction. I have always liked the forward look years but for some reason have a hang up for the 67s. My dad was a Chrysler mechanic in Detroit for many years and found a way to drive nothing but New Yorkers and Imperials, I've inherited his admiration for all things Pentastar. My 15 yr old son has also caught the bug and works hard on the car for that day when he can drive it. Our family is always up for meeting other Mopar fans, but in particular anyone around PA, OH or MI reply and maybe we can meet to compare notes, stories and admire cars.

Hey Doug - I used to live in Pittsburgh for about a year back in 2001. I make my way over there once in a while to see a friend who's into the radio collecting hobby, so will have to meet up one day when it gets warmer and there's fewer viruses flying about.

Hey Doug, I’m in the Detroit area and have a couple of ‘67 Coupes and am about to pick up a convertible this week but it might end up being just a parts car. That being said I do have lots of parts for these as well. I would love to meet up sometime.
Matt

She is looking better with just wide whitewalls and hub caps!

We, pre-COVID, spent a lot of time in Columbus. When things settle down -springtime? We all need to make up for lost socialization. Looking forward to meeting

I just noticed this post and thought I would give you a shout out. I live in Mt. Pleasant and have a 68 conv. although this year wasn't a good year for going to car cruises but when I do I normally go to the Irwin cruise on Saturday's. Maybe we can meet up some time.
