Vehicle Detail

Up for your consideration is a beautiful and powerful 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T. I am listing this Coronet R/T for the long time owner who has had restoration work done to the car over the past 14 years. The car has been garaged and covered since purchase and has not seen any inclement weather since. This is a very nice show/cruise car that was built to drive and enjoy. The Coronet was repainted in the correct original QQ1 Dark Red Poly about 7 years ago by a long time local bodyman/painter who laid down the PPG base coat/clear coat paint flawlessly. While the car was apart for refinishing, the minimal rust over the rear wheel wells was replaced with welded in patch panels. The underside of the car is extremely clean with no rust in the floor pans, frame rails or trunk. The bumpers were rechromed and a new set of chrome Magnum 500 14” reproduction wheels and B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A RED LINE tires from Coker Tire (tires only have around 1000 miles) were installed. (A set of 15” cop car wheels, center caps and new tires are available at extra cost if desired.) This Coronet R/T has a NOM 1968 Steel Crank 440 cu. in. engine along with a console shifted 727 Torqueflite automatic transmission. The 440 was treated to a .030" cleanup bore and fitted with 10.5:1 forged pistons and Six Pack connecting rods, and a 590” lift roller camshaft. Oil passages were enlarged and a new oil pump pick up was installed. The 906 heads were rebuilt with hardened valve seats for unleaded gas and contain HUGE (2.02/1.88) valves! After the heads were treated to a three angle valve job, they were ported and polished and the valve train uses Crane Gold Roller rockers. The 727 transmission was rebuilt with a Cheeta valve body and a 2800 (3000-3200 flash) converter ensures the shifts are positive and firm!The motor has less than 5000 miles since being professionally rebuilt approximately 5 years ago. The exhaust system consists of headers with 3” collectors going into 2 ½” aluminized pipes with 2-chamber 30 series Flowmaster mufflers and 2 ½” tailpipes with factory turndown bends under the rear bumper. (There is no better sounding exhaust system than the one on this Coronet R/T!) The 8-¾" rear differential was rebuilt and has a 3.23 ratio ring and pinion with Sure Grip, along with rebuilt factory rear drum brakes. The front suspension and steering box are original and tight. (We believe the car only has around 55-60k original miles, the odometer reads 51,437) Inside, the dash was repainted and detailed while the carpet, package tray and front and rear seat covers along with the door panels front and rear were replaced with Legendary factory reproduction pieces. The original factory headliner and one sun visor both have seams coming loose and will need to be repaired/replaced soon. The factory dash pad is driver quality,it has a few very small splits along the front edge. (see photos) This is an opportunity to own a very well built and maintained first generation R/T that not only sounds good, but will scare the faint of heart and will go about anywhere you set out to go! According to Galen Govier's figures, this Coronet R/T is one of 8,471 built (440 4-barrel Torqueflite) and there are not many that are as nice as this one for anything close to this price on eBay, or anywhere else!!! Bid now and make this turn-key show screamer yours before someone else does! Good Luck and Happy Bidding!
