Vehicle Description
It's no secret that RK Motors has worked extremely hard to become
your headquarters for all kinds of world-class collector cars. But
there are few offerings we love more than numbers-matching MoPars.
You know, the kind of broad-shouldered bruisers that wrap buff,
race-ready drivetrains in outrageous paint and fantastic marketing.
Today, such cars are highly sought prizes for serious Chrysler
collectors, and this national award-winning Coronet certainly
doesn't disappoint. It's built with an original, 440 cubic inch
Magnum V8. It's fitted with an original A833 4-speed transmission.
It's the beneficiary of a professional rotisserie restoration. And
if you're a fan of unique, old school muscle, it's what we would
call a 'must-have classic'!
PLUM CRAZY COOL
The beneficiary of a nut-and-bolt, rotisserie restoration that was
completed by Magnum Auto Restoration of La Salle, Illinois, this
Coronet currently presents much better than anything that left
Chrysler's storied St. Louis assembly line. That ground-up reboot
began when the car's intimidating body was stripped all the way to
bare metal. That fully revealed foundation was strengthened with
new floorpans, a new trunk pan and fresh quarter panels. That solid
fuselage was bathed in glossy two-stage, which reflects correct
code FC7 Plum Crazy Metallic. That timeless pigment was accented
with a correct Black roof and correct Super Bee C-stripes. And
today, fully sorted and ready to roll, this Dodge shines as a
champion of both the 2013 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals and the
2015 Mopar Nationals.
Thanks to a lot of money spent and a lot of bolts turned, this
classic's crisp gaps and excellent panel alignment could make a
modern muscle car blush. At the front of the car's body, a dramatic
'bumble bee wing' grille floats halogen headlights between small
parking lamps and a vivid Super Bee emblem. At the sides of that
grille, a faceted profile founds factory door handles and a chrome
driver's mirror above dent-free wheel frames and a requisite
Chrysler Pentastar. Above those panels, a Ramcharger hood anchors
discreet "440" scripts in front of like-new glass that's traced in
bright stainless. And, opposite that hood, a Dodge-stamped valence
hangs a second Super Bee emblem between traditional taillights, a
broad bumper and polished stainless exhaust tips.
SIX PACK SPEED
Yank this Dodge's correct hood pins and you'll find a 440 cubic
inch RB V8 that was professionally rebuilt by Opel Engineering of
Streamwood, Illinois. At the top of that 390 horsepower monster, a
Hemi Orange air cleaner hides a correct trio of Holley carburetors.
At the base of those carbs, a cast iron intake rides between cast
iron heads and traditional, stamped steel valve covers. At the
front of those covers, a reliable points distributor shoots spark
through Chrysler Electronic Suppression cables. And at the sides of
that distributor, iron exhaust manifolds funnel spent gases in to
great sounding, true-dual tail pipes. Aesthetically, this Coronet's
Plum Crazy engine bay is very impressive, from its correctly placed
decals all the way to its old school washer tank. A great
combination of new and reproduction pieces ensure the car's
operation is both reliable and fun, with items like a correct
radiator, a MoPar red cap battery and a Chrysler-branded voltage
regulator making sure every mile is safely traveled. And, as
expected, a matching 149901 partial VIN joins a correct 2536430
casting number and August 9th, 1969 casting date to verify the
mill's status as original and numbers-matching.
AUTHENTIC MOPAR MUSCLE
Land this Bee on a lift and a correctly textured undercarriage,
complete with primer, undercoating and Plum Crazy overspray, rises
in to view. The car's original engine spins power to an original
A833 4-speed that's authenticated by a matching 149901 partial VIN
and an A833 (PP833) built on October 3rd, 1969 (2989) assembly
stamp. That 18-spline gear slinger, professionally rebuilt by
Passon Performance of Sugarloaf, Pennsylvania, applies power to a
correct Dana 60 axle, which spins a tough Sure Grip differential
around correct 3.54 gears. Below that proven drivetrain, a familiar
Chrysler suspension has been completely rebuilt to include correct
drum brakes. Exhaust is handled by 2.5-inch, free-flowing pipes,
which jettison cooked dinosaurs through an H-shaped crossover and
factory replacement mufflers. And power meets the pavement through
15-inch steelies, which spin 235/60R15 BF Goodrich Radial T/As
around redline center caps.
RESTORED TO RIGHT
Open this coupe's solid doors and experience a cockpit where
legendary MoPar power melds seamlessly with a no frills,
no-nonsense driving environment. At the center of the car's floors,
firm bench seats wear correctly pleated covers. In front of those
seats, an expertly restored dash frames rebuilt Rallye telemetry
and Chrysler Solid State audio. At the sides of that dash, tasteful
door panels hang predictable armrests under bright stainless trim
and glossy black toppers. At the bottom of those panels, tight
carpet frames a Hurst Pistol Grip shifter. In front of the driver,
an ornate Rallye Wheel laps a monochromatic, fratzog-branded horn
button. And behind the passengers, a fully restored trunk is
complete all the way down to its fresh decal, plaid mat, Plum Crazy
Metallic wheel and matching spare tire.
