Coronet R/T is a car that can never be replicated today, that's a
key aspect as to why people still lust after them - HotCars
website, February 2021 Another enthusiast website,
HorsepowerMemories, provided the '67 car's history: The Coronet was
completely restyled in 1966 under the direction of Chrysler's Chief
Stylist Elwood Engel. Engel's designs had remedied the mediocre
styling of previous Chrysler products and the Coronet's design was
no exception. The new R/T was available as a hardtop coupe or a
convertible for those willing to whip out a little extra dough. The
Coronet R/T featured Charger-inspired grille work, nonfunctional
hood scoops, and louvered tail lamps. R/T badging is prominently
displayed on the grille, rear quarters, and tail section. Chrome
bumpers and mirrors along with brightwork on the window trim,
rocker panels, and wheel wells add a little extra flair to this
pavement pounder. Mag-type wheel covers and chrome Magnum 500
wheels were also available as options. Red Streak tires were
standard issue on all... wheel choices. Offered here in dark red
over black, is an exceptionally well-maintained, survivor '67 Dodge
Coronet R/T. Correct down to the red-stripe tires and accompanied
by original documentation, this is a numbers-matching
investment-grade Mopar muscle car in exceptional condition. Showing
just 61,556 miles on its odometer-or just over 1,100 miles per-year
on average-this is a true, very-low-mileage survivor. The exterior
dark-red metallic paint is original and was an excellent choice to
highlight the attractive fastback roofline (preferred by many over
the Charger's extended version) and nicely sculpted flanks. All the
tasteful chrome body work is in near-showroom condition, as are the
bumpers and dual-exhaust outlets. The vertically segmented front
grille is complemented with a similar full-width treatment on the
rear deck (taillights are hidden'). All bespoke R/T badging is
original and in place on both the car's flanks, the rear deck, and
prominently on the driver-side of the front grille. The individual
D-o-d-g-e lettering is centered on the hood. Cabin glass is clear
and undamaged; lighting lenses are free of cracks. The original,
optional, styled-steel wheels wear red-stripe tires as would've
been the case from the factory. Inside, vertically pleated
black-vinyl upholstery on the front bucket and rear bench seat
shows virtually no wear; only the driver seat cushion shows a minor
seam separation. Black carpeting covers the floors with the front
carpeting protected with R/T-embroidered mats. Coronet R/T-badges
are present on the nicely trimmed door panels (also free of damage
or wear indications). The black dash features a 150-mph
speedometer, engine-monitoring gauges, and an analog clock. The
leather-covered steering wheel center-cap shows the Dodge Division
logo of the day. The automatic-transmission shift lever is
column-mounted. A Kenwood audio unit is mounted in the glove
compartment while the factory radio remains in place in the dash.
The car's trunk is pristine with the original jack and the correct
plaid-pattern vinyl floor covering over the spare-tire well (and
the red-stripe spare). The muscle is located under the hood: The
440 Magnum, 375-horsepower V8. How'd it perform?
