In period the Coronet was touted for its ability to carry six full-sized adults, economical pricing, comfort, grace, being available in 17 lively models and possibly the widest selection of powerplants from the entire line. The bottom line was that the Coronet was a lot of car at a very low price point.
This particular car was professionally frame-off restored and fully documented by Don Taylor Restorations in 2014. It is beautifully finished in its original color of Code B3 Light Blue Metallic and also features a black vinyl roof and black bucket seat interior with center console. This is one of the powerful and desirable 440-cid, 375-hp V-8 engine cars that is paired to a console-shift automatic transmission. It has the P6X premium trim package and the original build date is given as September 13 at the Lynch Road assembly plant.
The Coronet R/T also displays white “Bumblebee” stripes at the rear of the car, plus underdash instrumentation, dual rearview mirrors, factory chromed steel Road Wheels, AM radio, BFGoodrich Radial T/A white letter tires; power steering and brakes.
This car was part of the Dodge Scat Pack…the distinctive cars with the Bumblebee stripes.
