Featured on AutoHunter, the online auction platform driven by ClassicCars.com, is this 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T two-door hardtop. This mighty Mopar is powered by a 440cid V8 backed by a three-speed automatic transmission. Features include bucket seats with center cushion and armrest, power steering and brakes, AM radio, and more. Finished in burgundy over a black vinyl interior, this 1967 Coronet R/T comes with transferrable New Hampshire registration and bill of sale.
The Coronet R/T was introduced in 1967 to do battle with the Pontiac GTO and other performance cars in the market. Dodge had offered 383 and 426 Hemi Coronets before 1967, but they didn’t have the performance image that, say, the GTO had. Dodged solved that problem with the Coronet R/T (Road/Track), plus it introduced the new 375-horsepower 440 Magnum as the standard powerplant. It was an engine much more substantial than the competition’s standard engine and, if a buyer needed more to be King of the Street, there always was the Hemi.
The exterior was refinished in Dark Red metallic in the early 1990s. Features include a non-functional hood scoop, R/T emblems on all four sides, fender-mounted antenna, driver-side mirror with manual remote, and gold accent stripes.
A set of 14-inch chrome Cragar S/S mags is wrapped in 215/60R14 (front) and 225/70R14 (rear) BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires.
The interior is upholstered in black vinyl with matching components. Features include bucket seats with fixed center cushion and armrest, column-mounted automatic transmission shifter, power steering, and AM radio.
The instrument panel consists of a 150-mph speedometer and gauges for the fuel level, coolant temperature, and amperage. An 8,000-rpm Sun Super Tach tachometer is mounted on the steering column, and aftermarket gauges for the oil pressure and water temperature are mounted under the dashboard. The odometer currently reads 19,700 miles, but the true mileage on this vehicle is unknown.
Power is provided by a 440cid V8 backed by a TorqueFlite three-speed automatic, both being replacements installed in the early 1990s.
This Coronet R/T was factory-equipped with an independent front suspension and a solid rear-drive axle. Braking is provided by power four-wheel drums. A dual exhaust system exits at the rear.
