Real R/T! Killer factory born colors! The Burgundy Metallic with pearl white interior is not only gorgeous but extremely rare too. It also has the #'s matching 440 engine and is nicely optioned including factory air conditioning. Finding this rarity is the hard part but making it yours can be simple as pushing a button!

EXTERIOR: Ultra rare, highly desirable colors! The factory Burgundy paint has just enough metallic to make it shimmer. It is beautifully laid out and applied with great attention to detail. It also has a smooth and reflective finish. The rear bumblebee stripe is painted on and smooth to the touch. Looking down the side of the body it is straight as an arrow. The panels are well aligned with good gaps. The doors close easily with minimal effort. The Pearl White vinyl top is also a rare option, and in great condition. The hood bulge really looks tough. The blacked out front grille and headlights are in excellent shape. The blacked out tail panel with triple taillights is iconic. It has the correct R/T emblems. The chrome has a glorious shine. It's rolling on a set of 15" Magnum 500 wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires.

INTERIOR: The Pearl White looks amazing! The seats were recovered both front and back. The headliner, dash pad, and carpet was replaced. The door panels were also replaced plus the upper portion of the door is nicely painted white and has the correct Coronet R/T badging. The driver's door also has the optional remote mirror. The center console with automatic shifter, and steering wheel appear to be good originals. A Sunpro triple gauge monitors the vitals and the factory gauges also have a tachometer included. The thumbwheel a/m radio has a really cool built in 8 track player. All the interior lights are working.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: VIN numbers matching 440 Magnum makes 375hp! Nicely optioned with factory air conditioning, power steering, and power brakes. It is upgraded with a Mopar electronic ignition. All the belts and hoses were replaced. The battery is properly secured, plus the horn and squirters are hooked up. Everything looks proper including the cast iron high performance exhaust manifolds. The original fender tag is in place. The underside of the hood, fender wells and firewall are all painted body color. The engine runs strong and sounds great.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid and jamb are painted slick just like the body. A reproduction jack sticker was added and the weatherstrip was replaced. Inside is all clean and solid metal that was also painted body color. The trunk mat was replaced.

UNDERSIDE: Pretty stock looking and totally fresh! The steering components were rebuilt and everything works like it should. Same for the suspension, front and back shocks were replaced and the correct R/T leaf springs look great. There is a big fat front swaybar with fresh links and bushings. It has power drum brakes at all wheels, the e-brake is hooked up, and all the lines are new. The exhaust system was replaced and now has a crossovers pipe and the correct polished tips exiting under the rear bumper. The gas tank and the fuel lines are also new. Looking up at the #'s matching 440 engine, everything is neatly painted. The 727 Torqueflite transmission looks recently serviced and the linkage was replaced. The 8� rear end looks good and was neatly repainted. The floors appear to be solid and rust free with a black textured undercoating. The frame was also prepped and painted body color.

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you the best cars within reason.

CONCLUSION: This is a rare beauty that will not last long in our showroom. So, what are you waiting for? The "BUY IT NOW" tab is located at the top right of this screen!
