Vehicle Description
Often imitated but rarely seen, they only made 10,900 1968 Dodge
Coronet R/Ts (hardtops and convertibles total.) That makes any real
R/T a cherished classic today. So you know it's something truly
special to find an preserved example that is correct right down to
the vinyl roof, A/C interior, and numbers-matching 440 V8. And yes,
it has all the right paperwork to back it up!
This car is celebrating the half-century mark, and so you might
never find one in such a nice survivor-grade condition. The
Metallic Turquoise paint is believed to be the original application
from the St. Louis factory. It shows a few age spots, but it still
has a wonderful luster in the sunshine. So it has that ideal
presentation that lets people know its original while still having
a wow factor - exactly what wins at survivor car shows these days.
But it takes more than the paintwork to be this nice. The
sheetmetal is straight and in good shape, with doors that you can
close with confidence. All the right brightwork is in place,
including the extra wide chrome bumpers. And while the black vinyl
roof gives this plenty of sophistication, it also can't hide its
aggressive nature. The power bulge in the hood, correct R/T
badging, and Mag wheels with redline tires remind you that this is
a true muscle machine.
The upscale bucket seat interior looks great, and the included
window sticker will tell you this is a loaded machine that retains
all its best original features. The door panels and headliner
maintain a bright white, and the matching seats don't even have a
button out of place. This coupe has averaged less than 1,600 miles
annually, so this low usage helps explain why something so nice can
be believed to be original to the car. There's plenty of style on
the bright center console, three-spoke sports steering wheel, and
extra wide dash. Plus, all the best features are still in working
order - from the AM radio to the cold-blowing air conditioning.
Open the hood, and see one of the best motors of the muscle car
era. The 440 Magnum V8 is a legendary for providing power and
leaving a serious rumble in its wake. The partial VIN stamp on the
rear of the block is visible to confirm this to be a
numbers-matching 440. This Mopar big block looks exceptionally
honest, right down to the correct Carter AVS four-barrel
carburetor. 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 original Torqueflite A727 three-speed
automatic transmission and power steering.
Not only do you get the original window sticker, but also the sale
comes with the factory buildsheet, owner's manual, and original
warranty card. So this is one powerful Mopar that has serious
pedigree, too. Something this special won't stay here long, so
don't miss out. Call today!!!
