Vehicle Description
When you want a great all-around classic muscle car, you need to
take a closer look at this 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T HEMI. It has a
premium presentation as a shining hardtop, and it even has good
manners on the road. But once you down shift the four-speed and
really put your foot to the floor, the huge 528ci V8 opens up to
reveal a 650 horsepower street-eating Mopar.
Dodge really got the design right in '67. The vintage machine has a
wide stance that can make this intermediate look full-sized.
There's plenty of style touches like the creases along the sides
that flare out on the quarters, and full-width electric shaver
style grilles for both the front and rear. Of course, the huge hood
scoop and glowing red R/T badges instantly lets everyone know this
is not your average classic coupe. But beyond the aggressive looks,
there is a great vintage style. You see it in the premium black
vinyl roof and iconic Mag wheels. The factory-correct Monotone
Racing Green has a subtle elegance that's amplified by a
professional respray that adds a terrific metallic depth. So this
was born a crisp and dignified muscle machine, and you can
instantly tell there was a solid investment to keep it that
way.
This feeling of vintage premium continues inside, and we love it
when a vinyl roof is a preview of the interior color. This was
ordered directly from Dodge, and someone was careful to craft a
cool machine. That means bucket seats and an artful center console
in-between. Everything is quite clean and correct, so you'll love
rolling down all the windows on this pillarless hardtop so everyone
can get a better look inside. Of course, the best view is from
behind the wheel. You get the classic sports steering wheel with
the vintage Dodge logo in the center, and beyond that is the
ultra-wide speedometer flanked by all the accessory gauges. Even
the original AM radio is still on display! And that cue ball
shifter in the center is your gateway to something very
special.
While this genuine R/T follows its factory specs pretty closely
inside and out, one look under the hood, and you'll see that the
restoration to the engine bay was all about major upgrades. This
was originally a 440 car, but now you're looking at a 528
cubic-inch HEMI stroker beast. More than just a monster
displacement, this performance V8 was enhanced and fortified in all
the right ways. It includes an Eagle rotating assembly, Indy
cylinder heads, MSD ignition, March pulleys and an aluminum
radiator w/dual electric fans to keep it running cool. It inhales
as deeply as it wants thanks to dual Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetors, and exhales with authority as TTI long tube headers
feed a performance X-pipe dual exhaust. The full package is
estimated at 650 horsepower! But don't let the numbers intimidate
you, because this was built to be a great cruiser when driving with
a light foot. It's only when you peg the accelerator that the
secondaries open and you release the beast. That sounds like the
perfect weekend fun where it's easy to show off, and then you leave
them all behind whenever you feel like it! In fact, you really are
in complete control of this classic Mopar monster thanks to the
four-speed manual transmission, limited-slip rear end, and sway
bars front & rear. There's even a SSBC Force 10 Extreme four-wheel
disc brake kit for the ultimate stopping power.
This is the well-presented rare Mopar that also has the heart of a
beast. It's the ideal all-around classic, and it's ready for the
first person to grab it. Call now!
