Summary:
Used 1968 Dodge Coronet 500, Green
Location:
Lafayette, LA
Description:
This 1968 Dodge Coronet R/T convertible is always going to be desirable for its rarity. So its especially nice to find an example restored with such a stock style everywhere from the spare tire kit to the numbers-matching 440 beast under the hood. The 1968 Coronet will always have appeal because it shares the Chargers good looks but with added rarity and luxury. In fact, the current production figure going around the internet says this is one of less than 530 Coronet R/T drop-tops made in 1968. So how many do you think survived over a half-century to look this good? This quality presentation is the result of a later rotisserie restoration where they took the time to get the vintage details right. The factory-correct Racing Green Metallic is dark and sleek. The sheet metal is straight and in good shape, with doors that you can close with confidence. All the right brightwork is in place, including the extra wide chrome bumpers. And we love the look of the strobe-style rear panel that was exclusive to 1968. As vintage as this is, youll also spot some well-integrated details that add to the attraction while not taking away from the vintage nature. For example, the soft top is now done in leather. And the classic Mag wheels are really 17-inch upgrades that allow you to fit better modern tires. Plus, as a true R/T, this never hides its aggressive nature. The power bulge in the hood, correct R/T badging, and wide dual exhaust tips remind you that this is a true muscle machine. And the added red tail stripes look distinct against the dark green while also coordinating with the redline tires for a nice thoughtful yet sporty touch. Since the black roof looks so good against the deep green paint, youll love to power it down and reveal the full black interior. The door panels, dash, and carpeting have a clean dark style, and the matching seats dont even have a button out of place. Theres plenty of style on the bright center console, three-spoke sports steering wheel, and extra wide dash. Its the kind of stock style that impresses, right down to details, like the center console floor lights that greet you when the door opens. Open the hood, and see one of the best motors of the muscle car era. The 440 Magnum V8 is legendary for providing power and leaving a serious rumble in its wake. This Mopar big block is the confirmed numbers-matching powerhouse, and it looks exceptionally honest, right down to the correct Carter AVS four-barrel carburetor. But more than just providing some of the best muscle car power for the streets, the Magnum was known to be one of the easiest to live with, too. This continues in the modern era with nice supporting features like a Wizard Cooling radiator, electric fans, and an Optima marine battery. The numbers-matching Torqueflite A727 three-speed is a smooth-shifting automatic transmission, and the power steering and overall cleanliness of the undercarriage make for a solid-driving power car experience. Plus, an upgrade to four-wheel disc brakes means you have superior stopping power. The sale comes complete with a reproduction window sticker photo, owners manual packet, and restoration photos. Its all about showcasing a rare and powerful drop-top that celebrates, and so if you love the best of Mopar muscle, call today!
