Vehicle Description
Big block Dodges are always in-demand. That's why this 1969 Dodge
Coronet 500 built to be a mean R/T tribute is so alluring. With its
big 440 V8, distinctive red interior, and street-eating presence,
it's what Mopar muscle is all about.
The Chrysler B-bodies of this era seemed to follow a variation on
Theodore Roosevelt's adage of, "Speak softly but carry a big
stick." You see it immediately in the way the subtle white paint
hides the body's wide and dominating presence. But it doesn't use
big ornamentation to show its aggression. Instead, it carries a
simple wide chrome bumper that looks like the huge grin of a man
who knows he can beat up every last person in the joint, but he'd
rather just enjoy his beverage... for now. But a car this cool
can't hide all of its street-eating nature. That's why you have the
dual hood scoops, hood pins, rear stripe package, and an R/T badge
in a shade of red that looks ready to draw blood. And no muscle car
appearance is complete without iconic Mag wheels.
That hint of aggressive red in the R/T badge is also a preview of
the interior. There have been nice investments to keep this one
feeling crisp and comfortable, and there's also an extra hint of
uniqueness. This one has a very cool atmosphere that reminds of a
coupe that would have been upgraded back in the day. For example,
you get the premium Coronet 500 pieces like the low-back bucket
seats and wood-like appearance on the dash and door panels. Plus,
there are cool old-school touches like the AM radio and separate
8-track that are still on display. But the upgrades like the
B&M shifter, wood-rimmed three-spoke sports steering wheel,
auxiliary gauges, and large tach mounted next to the original
instruments are all the kinds of upgrades that feel like the Dodge
visited the hot rod shop.
Open the hood, and the bright orange V8 radiates from the clean
white engine bay. And while this looks quite factory-like, you'll
also notice nice upgrades like the Mickey Thompson valve covers and
an electric fan on the radiator. The 440 Magnum V8 is one of the
best powerhouses of its day, and this is further enhanced by an
Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and long-tube headers. Combine
that last feature with the H-pipe dual exhaust, and you've got an
unmistakably mean sounding machine from the moment the big V8 fires
up. But more than just providing some of the best muscle car power
for the streets, the Magnum was known to be one of the easiest to
live with, too. This is backed up by great driving features such as
the Torqueflite three-speed automatic transmission, power steering,
and front disc brakes.
This Coronet is powerful, distinct, and all-out mean. It's the
Mopar muscle package you've been waiting for, so don't let it slip
away. Call today!!!
