If you're in the market for a solid, highly original muscle car that will provide years of great weekend memories, this expertly restored Coronet is the perfect choice. In fact, we would go so far as to say this is the flat out nicest restored 1968 Dodge Coronet R/T we've ever seen and, as the single largest retailer of classic Mopar muscle for six years running, that says a lot!

Fresh out of a full redesign, the 1968 Coronet wore bulging fenders, faux scoops and generally cleaner line work than its predecessor. This R/T wears those design cues well, dressed in an even coat of Burgundy Metallic paint. Underneath that paint, the arrow straight body is 100% Chrysler metal reassembled with considerably more attention to detail than the assembly plant offered.

With a such a great shell, finishing it with anything less than show-quality would have been questionable at best. That's why you'll find a healthy list of original and NOS pieces capping off this slick B-body. From the black-out grille to the segmented taillights, every piece is show quality and better than new.

Under the hood, the original 440 is still in place, cranking out 375hp according to Dodge. The motor starts easily, idles well and sounds great through a factory-style exhaust system. The bay retains an authentic look to go with its original block. From the wrinkle finish air cleaner to the correct ballast resistor, every piece is here and showroom fresh.

Underneath, a nicely detailed undercarriage with glossy Burgundy Metallic floorpans comes into view. In the center, an era-correct Torqueflite three-speed automatic applies power to the ground through an 8 ¾" differential filled with highway-friendly 3.23 gears. The suspension remains in its original configuration with torsion bars up front and leaf springs out back. The chassis connects to the road through a set of fifteen inch Chrysler wheels wrapped in a combination of BF Goodrich rubber.

Open the elongated doors and you'll be greeted by a showroom fresh white vinyl interior. In the 1960s, Chrysler was still in their luxury phase and it shows in the design of this cabin. While the fender tag calls for red vinyl, it's hard to argue with the decision to swap it for a full white interior. The bucket seats are firm and supportive and the AM radio still pulls signal loud and clear.

With a great look, excellent execution and attention to detail, and the original engine between the frame rails, this is one to hold on to, whether you're into cruising or investing. If a Mopar B-body has been on your wishlist, don't miss the chance to take home this awesome '68 Coronet R/T. Call, click or visit: http://rkmotorcharlotte.com for more information!
