The Coronet was Dodge’s mid-size car beginning in 1965, riding on the B-body platform. Four levels of trim were available to buyers in 1967: the Deluxe, 440, 500, and R/T. The seller offers the middle ground 440 model which represented nearly 60% of sales that year. It’s a rust-free car with tired paint that runs well thanks to some performance upgrades. Located in Seattle, Washington (though the seller is in Reno, Nevada), this Mopar is available here on craigslist for $8.900.

This popular nameplate enjoyed two runs at Dodge, from 1949 to 1959 (full-size) and again from 1965 to 1976 (intermediate). So, it was a big part of Dodge’s marketing campaigns for many years. The big news in 1967 was the addition of the R/T model to the Coronet fold with its 440 cubic inch V8 as standard equipment. The 440 series (interesting coincidence) got by on smaller engines of which the 318 cubic inch V8 was popular. The seller doesn’t mention which motor is in this car, but my vote goes to the 318 (any takers?)

We’re told the 727 automatic transmission has been rebuilt (the overall car may have 62,000 miles). The shifter, exhaust, intake manifold, carburetor, valve covers and more have been switched out for more zoom. As a result, this Mopar is said to “run amazing” and has new tires mounted on aftermarket wheels. Corrosion is not a problem though the white over yellow paint seems rather faded but may appeal to those into the patina look.

This seems like a vehicle that you could hop into, fill it up with gas (premium?), and drive moat anywhere you wanted. The interior looks nice enough, so you can ride in vintage style. Chrysler was just about to hit its stride in the muscle car swing with all-new 1968 models that would look good and scorch the earth. But if you like a boxier look in your Dodge, this Coronet might be hard to beat!
