Dodge's response to the musclecar movement in 1967 was the Coronet R/T, a high performance package that included the new 375 horsepower “Wedgehead” 440 cubic inch Magnum V-8 engine. Fed by a four-barrel AFB carburetor, the Magnum engine very effectively reduced the rear wheels to smoke with 480 foot pounds of torque at hand. Standard on the R/T was the TorqueFlite automatic transmission (this one has the optional four-speed manual transmission), special racing stripes (dealer added, if desired) and identification, redline tires, deluxe steering wheel, a beefed-up suspension with heavy-duty shocks, springs, torsion bars and front sway bar, a 70-amp battery and heavy-duty brakes.
This Coronet is finished in Hemi Blue paintwork with a black vinyl top, magnum 500 wheels and redline tires. Inside the car has a center console, black upholstered bucket seats, in-dash radio, Hurst shifter and a console mounted tachometer. Before the professional nut and bolt restoration was completed, the car was a solid rust free example.
