Dodge resurrected the Coronet nameplate in 1965 and applied it to their redesigned mid-size automobiles. As was the case with the Dodge Charger, the Coronet was also available as an R/T (Road/Track), the high-performance model with a standard 440 cubic inch V8. This ’67 edition has been stored inside for more than 40 years but is apparently brought out occasionally as we’re told it runs well. Located in Grand Junction, Colorado, this Mopar project is available here on craigslist for $26,000. Once again, Barn Finder Gunter Kramer comes through with the tips!
The R/T was only offered on the Coronet for four model years (1967-70). Available as either a 2-door hardtop or convertible, the R/T came with either a 4-speed or an automatic transmission. The only engine option was the 426 Hemi which was sparsely ordered. A little more than 10,000 Coronet R/Ts were built in 1967 and only 6% of them were drop-tops. Dodge did some product consolidating in 1971 and the Charger carried the mid-size performance banner by itself.
We gather this ’67 Coronet has been in the same family for more than 40 years. It has only had three owners in total. From this look of things, it was painted white when new but converted to red with some gold accents added. Perhaps when the paint was bright and shiny it worked a lot better than it does now (IMO). The fender tag and Certi-Card have survived the past 56 years. No rust seems to have had its way with this Mopar.
The value of this car is increased by the fact that the engine and transmission are numbers-matching. Though the Dodge looks like it could use a good bath and detailing, we’re told it runs and drives great and is licensed and insured at 68,000 miles. If I were to bring the Mopar home, I’d have to go back to the original color and try to recreate its authenticity where possible.
It’s definitely colorful, the engine looks like a combination of Ford blue and Chevrolet orange, and the white engine compartment doesn’t work with the red exterior, I agree, put it back to the way it was. It does look to be complete, and decent shape, the price isn’t out of the atmosphere
No engine or trans #’s in 1967 so kinda hard to say……….
The third pedal does not take any from the value. Adds to the fun factor also.
Needs an LS motor
Why?????
You’ve obviously never driven a 440 powered Mopar. Leave the LS in your Chevy truck where it belongs.
Amen
you need to go look at something else
I would do a mild restoration to get it cleaned up and road worthy .Then in two years A full restoration.If it was mine..
Sounds like a detailed plan. Care to follow through or just keep dreaming?
3.31 gear ⚙️ boy this would be a blast to wind up, and row thru that 4sp. 🙌
There was no 3.31 gear in a Mopar.
A Big Block Mopar, 4 Speed, 3:31 Gears, OH YEA !!! Youth gone wild ! This would be a fantastic and fun car to bang gears and wake the neighbors with.
There is no such thing as a 3.31 gear in a Mopar…if this car is an original 4-speed, it should have a Dana 60 with 3.54 gears.
It seems that many people do not realize that if your 67-71 Mopar was equipped with a 440HP, 440 six pack or a 426 Hemi and a 4 speed, the 18 spline “Hemi” transmission and Dana 60 rear were standard equipment, not optional equipment. 3.31 gears? That’s Chevy 12 bolt stuff.
It should have a Dana 60 with 3.54 gears if it’s a R/T with a 4 speed. Never seen a 3.31 ratio in any Chrysler car or truck.
My 67 r/t had 3.23 gears but i had a 4.56 set up and could swap it out pretty fast.
Tricky!! You so smart!
Just curious, a Coronet 500 R/T with buckets and no console ? First one I have seen like this.
A Coronet 500 R/T would truly be a first as well. There were none.
No rust… holes in quarter??? Engine does not look original?? if only 68k miles, wrong colors & no dual snorkle? Looks like a total resto project to bring back to glory…
Leave it just like it is! Clean it, lightly polish it and drive it! Sure it could have a $10K paint job, but who cares these days? If you’re driving a nicely patina’d machine, you’re good in my book. At car shows, the faded red ’68 Failrlane 500 with 390 badges, bench seat and a four on the floor, is my kind of car. Or the primered ’66 SS Chevelle, because back in the ’70’s and ’80’s, the real street cars, put the dough under the hood, instead of looking good.
im interested in the car if you dont sell it please call me i will match the price i live in ontairo canada 25,000.00
