When a seller states that a classic must be seen to be appreciated, it typically means that the vehicle in question is something pretty special. Such is the case with this 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T. From its Black-on-Black paint and trim combination to the V8 under the hood, it should be ideal for enthusiasts wishing to combine stunning looks with muscle. I must say a big thank you to Barn Finder Mitchell G. for spotting the Dodge listed here on Craigslist in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania. The seller set their price at $69,995 for a car that appears to need nothing.
The Fifth Generation Coronet formed part of Dodge’s model range from 1965 until 1970. Coke-bottle styling was dominating the market during this period, with Dodge adopting that look to ensure widespread appeal that would translate into sales success. Buyers were spoiled for choice when it came to specifications, although those seeking a genuine high-performance motoring experience gravitated towards the R/T variant. Describing this R/T as stunning would not be an understatement, with its Code B Black paint shining beautifully. It cloaks laser-straight panels, with no evidence of cosmetic shortcomings. While the seller’s underside shots aren’t the best, they seemingly confirm that this Coronet is rust-free. The bright trim contrasts beautifully with the dark paint shade, an impression accentuated by the Magnum 500 wheels that are wrapped in new tires.
The muscle car era was growing from strength to strength by 1967, and Dodge demonstrated this with the Coronet R/T. Buyers could choose between two motors to power their purchase, and while the 440ci V8, as found in this R/T, was the entry-level powerplant, it generated an impressive 375hp and 480 ft/lbs of torque. The 426ci Hemi was more potent, but most buyers couldn’t justify the additional cost when the 440 provided such impressive performance. This Coronet’s 440 is teamed with a three-speed A-727 automatic transmission and power assistance for the steering and brakes. The seller doesn’t confirm whether the car is numbers-matching, but the motor is festooned with cosmetic enhancements that it didn’t feature from the factory. There is no specific information supplied regarding its mechanical health, but I see no reason why the news should be anything but positive.
The theme of tidy presentation continues inside this Coronet, with the interior trimmed in Black vinyl. The front seat center wears a blanket or cover, although I suspect that it is probably there to protect the vinyl from being marked by the aftermarket console/cup holder. There is no visible appreciable wear on the upholstered surfaces or the carpet, and the dash looks excellent. I think that the factory radio may have made way for a retro-style stereo. If so, it joins the wheel and column-mounted tach on the list of aftermarket additions.
This 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T isn’t totally original, but it is a classic that would command respect wherever it went. It hails from an era when muscle cars were kings of the road, and although the new car market has evolved considerably in the fifty-eight years since this beauty left the factory, classics of this type are more popular today than they were in those heady days. The seller’s price is above the market average, and it will be interesting to see whether this car readily finds a new home. Do you think that will happen?
I don’t think it’s a ’67 or an R/T, but yes, it’s black and a Coronet…and wildly overpriced.
Petty sure that the l Cornett RT came with a hood scoop it was just for looks so I’d look a little harder at it
They came with a hood that had a louvre on the center. For $69,995 details matter. There is a lot of competition at this price range, little things make acdifference.

Details like this being a ’66 model and there were no R/Ts until ’67.
Very pretty! At these prices points I need A/C and a 4 speed.
All you have to do is look at the tail panel and lights. The R/T had chrome trim across the back panel with the lights incorporated.
This is a very nice looking Coronet. The seller is trying to smoke us! It’s a 66 Dodge Coronet. Not a 67 and not a RT. He change the front grille from a 67. The tail panel is a 66. The front hood is wrong its flat. Missing the ribs they had in 67. And the tail lamp panel was special. Anyone can Google it for the images. Show us the fender tag and vin number. That will tell the story. Was this a 318 or 383.The price is way too high!!! I don’t trust this seller. Beware….🐻🇺🇸
Definitely a 67, Definitely not an original RT no tail panel, no scoop, center piece in the grill needs to be removed.
All Said, still a stunning car, but the R/Ts got all the premium trim.
The taillights appear (to me) they are the narrower 67s, not the larger 66s. Looks like on a lower model 67 coronet. Just sayin…
Strongly agree with you
Agree with the above comments but in any case it’s a great looking car.
nice heater core
Its not an rt for sure. I ordered one new in 67 and i dont think bench seats were an option. Missing all the parts that make an rt expensive. Hp engine, exhaust manifold dual snorkel breather rt trim on upper doors hood rear tail panel
Its just a nice 66 coronet with a 440 . it does appear to have the 150 mph speedometer
Really nice looking car, but there seems to be a lot of inconsistencies.
Nice, but over priced and not a 67, or a R/T.
This is a Coronet 440 body style which has nothing to do with the engine size. I believe the Coronet 500 was for the R/T model. This is a put together Coronet trying to pretend to be something it’s not. Buyer Beware check the VIN.
Coronet 500 was a trim level. Nothing to do with the R/T
Maybe he thinks it’s an RT? LOL
Simply stunning??? To whom, Ray Charles???
My brother had a 67 Coronet R/T it had the rear panel all the way across and lights incorporated, and he had a center counsel and different hood!
Definitely beautiful…
Definitely NOT an R/T.
For that price needs to be a performance version and all numbers need to match. Aftermarket parts have a negative impact on the value as well
If I had this vehicle I’d be very tempted to graft the tail section of a ’68 Coronet onto it.
Needs a set of red lines!
