With its show quality paint, well-aligned exterior and assembly of
chrome and bright work that are in top form, this 1968 Dodge
Coronet R/T Convertible would stand out in even the most exclusive
automotive company. A thorough restoration has left it in
impeccable condition while retaining a level of factory-correctness
both inside and outside that's truly hard to come by. Even at close
range, you'd be hard-pressed to find any flaws. It's really that
impressive. Factor in its coveted big block power, open-air
configuration and outstanding running condition, and this stellar
Mopar offering represents an opportunity that just doesn't come
around very often.
The factory-correct light blue vinyl interior has been thoroughly
revitalized and, as you climb inside and look around, you'll likely
be impressed with your surroundings. The low-backed buckets show no
wrinkling, or any other marked signs of wear and the carpeting
below is free of any stains and is accompanied by a quartet of
floor mats for additional protection. As this Coronet is a
substantial muscle car, there's plenty of leg and shoulder room in
both front and back and, considering the visual impact it has,
you'll have no shortage of eager passengers. The dash area is
another high point, with a straight uncracked pad across the top
and a full complement of factory style gauges in the instrument
cluster that provide their readings through unusually clear lenses.
The accompanying white vinyl convertible top stands ready to
protect you from the elements and features a clear glass rear
window.
Given the high standards set by the rest of this vintage Dodge, it
should come as no surprise when you see just how clean and
well-ordered the engine compartment is. A factory-correct, and very
likely original, 440-cubic-inch V8, the coveted powerplant most
closely associated with the Dodge muscle cars of its era, holds
court at its center, surrounded by color-matched inner fenders and
firewall. Fed by a four-barrel carburetor, the engine starts
easily, idles smoothly and pulls with plenty of strength, teaming
with a 3-speed automatic A727 Torqueflite transmission to make up a
drivetrain that's in peak form. Add in its precise power steering,
reassuringly solid power brakes and precise alignment, and this
classic is an outstanding driver by any measure.
