Vehicle specs:

If you're allegiances align with the decal and High Impact color side of the Mopar world, you won't find any of that here. Like its GTX cousins, this is a gentleman's hot rod. Dressed in a correct coat of code 881 Bright Blue Metallic, the car has a more upscale presence than many high-powered cars of the era. As mentioned, the car features original sheet-metal which has been treated with an expert's hand. The long lines don't waver a bit and the paintwork features a luster that would be impossible with the enamel paint of yesteryear.

Up front, an original grille with a bright red "R/T" emblem carries out a vertical motif between four halogen headlights, a pristine chrome bumper and a familiar "DODGE" hood script. Original glass, multi-faceted body panels, which add an unmistakable vintage flavor to the car's modernist design, are detailed with correct stainless wheel lip moldings and rocker guards. Bold die cast "R/T" fender emblems combine with a stainless antenna to perfectly complement traditional chrome door handles and a stylish driver's mirror. Out back, a black and silver valence hangs a right-justified "R/T" emblem between a second, centered "DODGE" script, and tail lights artfully hidden in trim.

Of course, all those R/T badges are trying to tell you that something serious lives under the hood. In the case of this Coronet, it's a date-code correct 375hp 440 Magnum. The block wears a coat of paint as well as a 2536430-5 casting number and a stamped casting date of June 28, 1966. Of course, stampings aren't the only correct pieces in this bay. Up top, a dual snorkel air cleaner with a bright Magnum pie pan conceals a single four-barrel carburetor bolted to a factory intake below. At either side, correct cast iron heads are topped with chrome valve covers and breathers, while new plug wires snake around the block, originating as the centrally located distributor. The car was ordered with performance in mind, so the belt drive spins little more than the alternator and a single fan that works in harmony with the OEM-style radiator to keep the bay cool. Spent gases are pushed out through unique cast iron exhaust manifolds that flow into a stainless dual exhaust system with an H-pipe. I have to original dual snorkel, original back brake shoes, front brake pads, and air cleaner in a box (all in good shape).

Put this B-body on a lift to admire the remarkably original undercarriage. Thanks to its garage-kept life, the car never saw harsh Ohio winters. In fact, the pans were so solid, they were left untouched. In the center, the A833 4-speed manual transmission makes leisurely work of shifts before channeling 440 power back to a 8 3/4 posi-rear differential packed with versatile 4.10 gears. Around the drivetrain, the R/T utilizes heavy-duty torsion bars, ball joints, one-inch shock absorbers, a front sway bar, and staggered leaf springs to create a classic Mopar driving experience. Straight-line performance was obviously the focus of this R/T power brakes and front wheel disk do a respectable job of bringing the car to a halt. The chassis rides on a set of polished torque thrust 17” wheels wrapped in front Dunlop sp sport 5000 215/50 R17 and rear Dunlop sp sport 5000 255/60 R17.

Inside the Dodge, a sleek black interior offers a great place to enjoy the car from. The Chrysler Corporation was on a roll with interior styling in the 1960s and this Coronet is no exception. Seating for five is provided by a pair of bucket seats up front and a large rear bench in the rear, both of which look practically new. Between the front seats, an attractive center console hosts a chrome shifter and plenty of storage beneath its polished lid. From the driver seat, a horizontal speedometer is the primary focus of the gauge cluster, surrounded by smaller units that monitor fuel, temperature, and amperage. Chrome pulls and switches offer control of items like the washers and lights. To the right, a stock AM radio and heater controls are well within reach. At either side, black door panels combine with fresh carpet for a cohesive look throughout. Behind the seats, the trunk is completed by solid floors. In addition, the steering wheel is the optional wood grain in great condition.

As mentioned earlier, the car includes all the documents. Things get started with the original Certi-Card, while Chrysler historical documents sum up their contents nicely.

With just 9,826 Coronet R/T produced for 1967, it's safe to say the number of survivors is much smaller. Narrow the list down by cars that have their original drivetrain, and watch the number shrink again. This a rare car, but don't let that scare you off. With a fully sorted 440/4-speed combination, it's still a piece you'll have a hard time not driving every weekend. If a big block B-body has been on your list for awhile, step up to this 1967 Coronet R/T. It's an investment you'll be glad you made.

Thank you very much. Whoever is interested, please call me at 516-263-4713 so I can give your further information and answer any questions you may have.

Dodge Charger SRT Widebody spied filming a commercial

Mon, Apr 22 2019

The voice you hear in the video just below appears to be from Instagram user eviil_srt, and as you can tell, he's quite the Mopar superfan. Thing is, the car you see in that video appears worthy of such a fan's adoration. It's clearly a Dodge Charger Widebody, a vehicle that we've been anxiously awaiting ever since it was revealed in prototype form by Mark Trostle, head of design for Dodge and SRT, at Spring Fest 14. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Actually, we've been seeing hints of the wide Charger far longer than that – it was spotted testing on public roads before its officialish debut, and even prior to that, the car's rumored existence had the Internet rumbling with the force of a 700-plus-horsepower supercharged Hemi V8 for months. All that preamble brings us back to the present and the aforementioned Instagram post, in which this upcoming production Widebody was spotted presumably filming for an official television commercial debut. Note the body-color license plate on the Charger Widebody in the video, which indicates it's probably being used for an official purpose by Dodge. It's a short clip, but just long enough that we can clearly make out a big rear wing, vented bumper cover, and deep diffuser punctuated by large dual exhaust tips. We also see some extremely wide tires front and rear, which makes sense considering that there's very likely a whole corral's worth of ponies underhood. The current Dodge Challenger Widebody style is offered on the 485-horsepower R/T Scat Pack trim level, the SRT Hellcat trim level that bumps horsepower all the way to 717, and, for buyers who really hate their rear tires, the 797-hp Hellcat Redeye trim level. Dodge hasn't yet extended the excessively powerful Redeye engine to the Charger line, but the other two levels seem likely. And who knows Â– the Widebody's introduction might be the perfect opportunity to build a Charger Redeye. In any case, the fact that Dodge is filming commercials indicates that we won't have to wait much longer to find out for sure.

MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.

Dodge Viper ACR still can't quite capture Nurburgring record

Mon, Aug 28 2017

Dodge Viper production ended just a few weeks ago. So in an effort to go out with a bang, a crowdfunded effort sent a pair of new Viper ACRs to the Nurburgring in order to reclaim the production-car lap record. Despite its best efforts, the team failed to top the Lamborghini Huracan Performante's time of 6 minutes and 52 seconds. The Viper's best lap was 7 minutes and 3.45 seconds, leaving a seemingly insurmountable gap between it and the Lamborghini. This past week, the Vipers went out again. Unfortunately the new time of 7:3.23 only shaved a few tenths. Road & Track reports that the hot weather played a major factor into the car's performance. August is hot in Germany, and the northern part of the track had a recorded temperature of 111 degrees. This was killing tires and therefore grip. While Kumho has been kind enough to supply the team with tires, an endless supply of rubber doesn't help if they keep getting cooked. In two hours, the team managed just two hot laps, killing 16 tires in the process. It's not over. A return trip is in the works. The team believes it can slide under the 7 minute mark. Still, it looks like it's going to take some really ideal conditions to make it work. Either way, the Viper ACR is and will remain one of the fastest production cars ever built and something of the likes we'll never see again. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
