1969 DODGE CORONET R/T HARDTOP

With all the hoopla in 1969 surrounding the arrival of the Super Bee Six Pack and the continued popularity of the Charger, a Dodge original -- the Coronet R/T -- seemed lost in the shuffle. The Coronet R/T was the first Dodge to unify traditional muscle car elements under one nameplate back in '67. Sales topped 10,000 for its first two years, but that number dropped to 7,200 for the 1969 Dodge Coronet R/T. Sales then slipped to 2,600 in 1970 -- the car's swan-song season. The 375-bhp 440 Magnum four-barrel was again standard. Just 97 hardtops and 10 convertibles were ordered with the sole engine option, the 425-bhp 426 Hemi. A Ramcharger fresh-air induction package that added two sizable hood scoops was a new option with the 440 and was standard with the Hemi, but it didn't alter power ratings. This like new R/T example is one of the 97 hardtops powered by that 426 Hemi engine. Another outstanding Mopar creation. Thanks for viewing.
