The 1967 Dodge Charger marked the second year of production for
Dodge's bold fastback performance coupe, a car that blended upscale
interior appointments with aggressive styling and big-block muscle.
Introduced for 1966 as Dodge's answer to the growing personal
luxury performance segment, the Charger distinguished itself with a
dramatic fastback roofline, full-width grille, and innovative
features like a full-length center console and fold-down rear
seating, creating a unique fusion of performance and
practicality.
For 1967, subtle refinements improved drivability and interior
ergonomics, while retaining signature features such as
electroluminescent dash lighting, a futuristic, aircraft-inspired
illumination system, and motorized hideaway headlights, giving the
Charger its unmistakable presence both day and night.
At the top of the performance hierarchy sat the legendary 426 HEMI
V8, one of the most revered powerplants of the muscle car era.
Officially rated at 425 horsepower and 490 lb-ft of torque, the
HEMI was a race-bred engine derived from Chrysler's NASCAR
dominance, featuring hemispherical combustion chambers, forged
internals, dual 4-barrel carburetors, and heavy-duty cooling. In
1967, only a very small number of Chargers were equipped with the
HEMI, and even fewer were paired with the highly desirable 4-speed
manual transmission, making such examples exceptionally rare and
coveted today.
Selecting the HEMI option brought with it a host of
performance-focused upgrades, including:
• Heavy-duty suspension and torsion bars
• Upgraded cooling system with larger radiator
• High-capacity fuel delivery system
• Reinforced drivetrain components to include 18-spline
transmission shaft and the Dana 60 limited-slip rear axle
• Unique badging and trim identifiers
The example offered here is finished in striking RR1 Yellow,
complemented by a Black bucket seat interior (Trim Code S6X),
presenting a classic high-impact color combination. This Charger
retains its numbers-matching drivetrain and shows 93,400 miles,
reflecting a lifetime of careful stewardship.
Factory-equipped options further enhance its desirability and
usability, including:
• Power front disc brakes
• Power steering
• Fender-mounted turn signal indicators
• Redline tires with deluxe wheel covers
• Astrophonic AM radio
• Heat and defrost system
• All tinted glass
• Fold-down rear seats
• Full-length front and rear center console configuration
• 3.54 Sure-Grip rear axle for optimal performance balance
This Charger remains a largely original example, benefiting from
one older exterior repaint while still showcasing exceptionally
well. Its authenticity is further supported by its California
origins, where it was customer-ordered and delivered new through
Bishop Motor Sales in Hollister. Over the years, it would pass
through a respected MOPAR collection in Texas before joining a
Kansas-based collector, where it has resided for the past five
years.
Accompanying documentation is extensive and highly valuable,
including a factory build sheet from FCA Historical Services, along
with a complete decoded VIN and fender tag analysis by noted Mopar
authority David Wise, founder of MMC Detroit.
Recent service ensures the car remains in excellent mechanical
condition, including:
• New rear brake wheel cylinders
• Freshly turned brake drums and new hardware
• Brake fluid flush
• Engine oil and filter service
• New oil pan with gasket
Combining rarity, documentation, and unmistakable presence, this
1967 Dodge Charger HEMI Fastback represents a highly collectible
opportunity to own one of the most iconic and scarce configurations
of the muscle car era, an authentic, numbers-matching example of
Dodge's legendary HEMI performance legacy.
