Jeff Clise purchased his ’69 Dodge Coronet just before entering his junior year of high school in 1976. Back in those days, nobody had any idea how valuable the late-’60s Chrysler B-Bodies would become—they were just used cars filtering into the secondary market. But as we know, all that changed. Jeff got married in 1985 after finishing college, then started his business and a family. After 25 years of the car sitting in storage, he finally brought the car to The Hot Rod Garage in Denton, Maryland, for a complete rebuild.
The car is now equipped to perform light-years ahead of its OEM configuration, and takes advantage of a modern-handling Reilly Motorsports front suspension, 13-inch brakes, power rack-and-pinion steering, and custom-built 17-inch Magnum 500 wheels. Jeff hasn’t neglected the engine compartment either: a 472ci Ray Barton Hemi with two four-barrel carbs provides angry quantities of torque to a 518 overdrive transmission and a narrowed Dana 60 rear. Indoors, the attitude is a bit more restrained with a fresh black leather interior, cruise control, and crisp, cool air conditioning. Being a Mopar, it’s only natural that it wear one of Ma Chrysler’s outrageous colors, so a custom pearl version of Sublime Green was laid onto the steel, followed by the Coronet’s trademark Superbee stripes, and six coats of clear.
Jeff’s elated to have the Coronet back on the road after 25 years, and he recently realized his dream by unveiling it at the Goodguys Nationals in Columbus, Ohio. Jeff gives kudos to Ray Bartlett and the rest of the crew at The Hot Rod Garage for helping his fantasy become reality!

I also entered my Junior year in high school. I lived in Forestville, Md. I had a Super Bee then. I could have kicked myself in the butt for selling that car. Your car looks great, love the color on it. That car is 50 years old and looking GOOD!!
