INTRODUCTION: I purchased this from a very fussy seller- he is so
fussy I'll gladly buy from him but wouldn't want to sell him one...
LOL. That level of pickiness is exactly the kind of owner you want
to buy from, it is detailed and dialed in! This is a #s matching
R/T that received a ground up restoration, with reports that
approximately $100,000 was invested about 10 years ago. Since
completion, only around 500 miles have been put on the car, helping
preserve the outstanding condition it presents in today. It's a
beautifully restored example that has clearly been cared for to a
very high standard
EXTERIOR: This Dodge Coronet R/T has a bold, masculine body style
with fit and finish that is truly outstanding. The body is laser
straight from front to back, and the panels align with the kind of
precision you'd expect from a new car. The R/T hood louvers add
just the right touch of muscle car attitude, perfectly
complementing the car's aggressive lines. Repainted in its original
Spanish Gold, the metallic finish is laid out evenly with
exceptional depth and clarity. The clear coat has been polished to
a brilliant shine and feels slick to the touch. Overall, the chrome
and trim are straight, bright, and sparkle beautifully. The
windshield is brand new, while the remaining glass retains its
original Mopar stampings and remains in good condition. The vinyl
top is in excellent shape, the jambs are clean, and the
weatherstrips have been replaced. Completing the look is a brand
new set of 15-inch Cragar wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich tires,
giving the car the perfect stance.
INTERIOR: The interior is extremely tidy and exceptionally well
presented. Up front is an especially clean dash featuring detailed
trim, shiny bezels, and the original radio still in place with no
broken or drilled surfaces. Mounted to the steering column is a
vintage style tachometer, just like enthusiasts installed back in
the day. The center console is in mint condition and houses the
automatic shifter along with working interior lights, while a
nostalgic 8-track player is mounted just above it. The seats have
been recushioned and reupholstered with a smooth, wrinkle free fit.
The door panels and armrests have been replaced, and it retains a
full set of seat belts front and rear. Fresh looking carpet covers
the floor, while a tight fitting new headliner finishes the cabin
overhead. Interior moldings, emblems, and even the pedals are all
exceptionally clean, reflecting the overall quality and care of
this car.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Lift the hood on this Dodge Coronet R/T and
you'll find a show quality engine compartment that has been
restored to factory condition in looks and function. At its heart
is the legendary 440 Magnum, factory rated at 375 horsepower.
According to the casting codes and stamped numbers, it is the
correct engine for this car. Rebuilt and running strong, it is
equipped with the proper components including factory style exhaust
manifolds, correct ignition system, rechromed valve covers, and a
beautiful air cleaner assembly. Designed to be as enjoyable to
drive as it is to show, it features power steering and power brakes
for effortless cruising. Cooling is handled by the correct Mopar
radiator with the proper shroud, along with reproduction hoses and
clamps. Even the details are exceptional, right down to the
reproduction Mopar battery with proper hold down. Every component
presents clean, correct, and orderly. The horns work, the
windshield washer squirters are hooked up, and the engine bay
itself is beautifully painted with clean metal throughout. For
authenticity, the original fender tag and certicard remains in
place, and the VIN stampings are present on the core support.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid is finished just as nicely
as the rest of the car, with the jamb beautifully painted and
detailed with the correct factory decals and assembly line
markings. Inside, the trunk compartment is rock solid and
exceptionally clean. Lifting the mat reveals a proper redline spare
tire, while the jack is mounted in its correct factory location,
further highlighting the car's authenticity and careful
restoration.
UNDERSIDE: Underneath is as impressive as the top side, showing a
very nicely restored and highly detailed chassis. The steering and
suspension components appear fresh, and even the factory style
assembly line markings have been duplicated for added authenticity.
The brake system has also been restored, and the emergency brake is
properly hooked up and functional. A great sounding dual exhaust
system with crossover pipe and Flowmaster mufflers gives the car
the perfect muscle car tone. The fuel tank and lines have been
replaced. Looking up at the drivetrain, the engine presents very
cleanly, along with the correct 727 TorqueFlite automatic
transmission. A rebuilt driveshaft sends power back to the stout 8�
rear end equipped with 3.73 Sure-Grip gears. The overall structure
appears to be exceptionally clean, rust free metal, including the
frame rails and floor pans.
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 service the essentials on every car
we sell.
CONCLUSION: Here's an opportunity to own a turnkey Dodge Coronet
R/T that's ready to enjoy the moment it arrives. Whether you want
to cruise out for ice cream on a sunny afternoon or pull into a car
show with confidence, this car is prepared to do it all!
