1967 Dodge Coronet Hemi R/T

Description

The Coronet nameplate was reintroduced by Dodge in 1965 after a six-year absence as a mid-sized line with a clean, slab-sided appearance. Available with a number of body style and powertrain choices, the Coronet could be had as a two-door sedan, hardtop, convertible, four-door sedan, or station wagon with power ranging from the slant-six engine’s 145-horsepower to a ferocious 425-horsepower from the 426 cu-in Hemi V8. In 1966, Dodge restyled the Coronet to complement its Charger fastback with a shorter and wider profile, following it up in 1967 with more Charger styling cues including a new single-piece grille. The Coronet R/T line was also introduced in 1967, standing for "Road and Track." This sporty trim was available as a two-door hardtop or convertible and featured Chrysler's largest engine, the 440 cu-in V8, or for an additional $908, the 426 cu-in Hemi now in its second year in “Street” trim – equipped with dual four-barrel carburetors and hydraulic lifters. With approximately 340 Hemi Coronets ordered in 1967, this is a rarely-seen alternative to the Charger which played an important role in establishing Dodge as a major player in the 1960s muscle segment.

This car is part of the Retro Motors Collection, which comprises over 30 cars largely from the 1950s through today, with a focus on American muscle and high-powered European sports cars. View the full collection here.
