Dodge's response to the muscle car movement in 1967 was the Coronet R/T, a high performance package that included the new 375 horsepower Wedgehead 440 cubic inch Magnum V-8 engine. Fed by a four-barrel AFB carburetor, the Magnum engine very effectively reduced the rear wheels to smoke with 480 foot pounds of torque at hand. Standard on the R/T was the TorqueFlite automatic transmission, special racing stripes and identification, red line tires, a beefed up suspension with heavy duty shocks, springs, torsion bars and front sway bar, a 70 amp-hour battery and heavy-duty brakes. Priced at $426 more than the standard Coronet 500, including its comfort and convenience features such as bucket seats, console and full wheel covers, the Coronet R/T proved to be immensely popular with production amounting to over 10,000 units; however, relatively few were sold in convertible form.

The car offered here is a fully restored 440 Magnum Coronet R/T convertible finished with a Code P Bright Red exterior paint and the premium white bucket seat vinyl interior. It is equipped with the basics, such as a three-speed automatic transmission on the console, power steering, power brakes pushbutton radio and a power operated top. The fender tag indicates that it was built on January the 19th and delivered to the dealership with red streak ties, and a Sure Grip 3.23 rear end. Of the 10,737 Coronet R/Ts produced in 1967, 8,471 were 440/4 barrels with an automatic transmission and only 628 were convertibles. A true muscle car in every respect, this Dodge Coronet is also rare and beautifully presented.
