Vehicle Description
History
The Coronet is an automobile that was marketed by Dodge as a
full-size car in the 1950s, initially the division's highest trim
line but, starting in 1955, the lowest trim line. From the 1965 to
1975 model years the name was on intermediate-sized models. A
coronet is a small crown consisting of ornaments fixed on a metal
ring.
The Fifth generation Coronet R/T, (R/T, standing for "Road and
Track") was introduced in 1967. It was available as a two-door
hardtop or convertible. Standard engine was Chrysler's largest, the
440-cid V-8, it was tweaked to 375 bhp and christened the
Magnum.
Transmission choices were Mopar's excellent heavy-duty three-speed
TorqueFlite automatic or a four-speed manual. Many Mopar fans were
weekend racers in the 1960's and the Coronet R/T was a popular
choice both on the road and track.
The project 1967 Dodge RT we have at Skyway Classics could well be
your dream weekend racer that you can finish to your own tastes as
you restore it.
Features & Parts
The R/T package from the factory included non-functional hood
scoops and simulated rear fender air vents, stiffer suspension,
heavy duty brakes, and red streak tires. The standard engine option
was the Magnum 440 w/ 375 horsepower that was hooked to a
four-speed transmission. Those parts are included in this RT we
have.
According to the owner, it has almost 98% of the parts need to
finish it including the above mentioned engine with valve covers,
crankshaft, valve train, bell housing, transmission, seats,
bumpers, trim, headlights, new floor in the trunk, gas tank and
sending units, and more.
