440ci Overhead Valve V8 Engine Single 4-Barrel Carburetor 375hp at 4,600rpm 3-Speed TorqueFlite Automatic Transmission Independent Front with Live Rear Axle Suspension 4-Wheel Drum Brakes *Top Specification R/T Trim *Magnum 440ci power *Wonderfully restored *Ready to use To view a YouTube walkaround of this lot please click here THE DODGE CORONET A long running staple of the post-war dodge lineup, the Coronet served as the full-size offering up until 1965 when it was downsized to a 117 inch wheelbase and fit amongst the rest of Chrysler Corporations B-Bodies. Available in just about every conceivable permutation, Coronet buyers had quite a few choices to make when going down the specification sheet. Wagons, convertibles, and coupes could be had with everything from a frugal inline six cylinder all the way up to the legendary 426ci Hemi V8. THE MOTORCAR OFFERED The 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T presented here is a truly superlative example. Purchased out of a private collection located in Connecticut roughly 5 years ago, the vehicle had been restored in the early part of the decade. A well optioned example, the car features front bucket seats, air conditioning, and a column shifted automatic transmission. The crown jewel of the experience, however, is Chrysler Corporation's largest motor of the day- the venerable 440ci V8. In R/T specification, the big bloc was christened 'magnum' and was fitted with a single 4-barrel carburetor. All together 375hp was output from this glorious creation and fed into a 3-speed TorqueFlite transmission. As a result of the aforementioned restoration, the Coronet presents today in wonderful condition. The exterior's blue paint shows with a nice gloss, and the brightwork shines with equal luster. Inside, the interior appears to have seen careful use since the completion of the project as the surfaces show little in the way of wear. More recently, the vehicle received a new exhaust system. In addition, simple maintenance was preformed prior to the sale in order to ensure turnkey readiness to its next owner. This work included installing new belts, filters, and changing the lubricants where necessary. Receipts for this are on file to those that are interested. It is reported that even the air conditioning blows cold, making this a fine car for a summer cruise. A Coronet fit for the road and drag strip, this R/T 440 is truly deserving of this designation. We will likely never see naturally aspirated engines of this size ever again in ever the most sporting contemporary cars. To have such displacement in a humble mid-size coupe is an experience that one can only find in the 1960s and as such will continue to be cherished by enthusiasts for decades to come. Do not miss this wonderful opportunity to get behind the wheel of one of Mopar's outstanding creations.
