Up for sale is my 1970 Dodge Coronet R/T (True R/T), FK5 burnt orange.
Vehicle went under a full rotisserie restoration. Interior and exterior in fantastic shape.

My Coronet will be displayed at the Mopar Alley Car Show on Sunday June 14, at the De Anza College in Cupertino. Come on by to check it out and say hello!

Engine is a rebuilt 440 Six Pack (3 x 2-barrel carburetors). 1968 Block.
This engine is built and it goes fast. Really fast. Aluminum adjustable rockers, Aluminum crank shaft and rods, Diamond Head pistons...
727 3-speed column automatic Torqueflite transmission.
15" Magnum wheels with 235/60R15 BF Goodrich radio TA tires.
Stunning, iridescent Mopar FK5 paint.
Rebuilt front and rear suspension.
Power brakes, front disc - rear drums.
8 ¾ 3.23 Sure Grip rear end.
Kenwood radio head with AUX and USB ports.
New A/C system is installed, hoses and controls not completed.

A gorgeous clean Coronet R/T inside, outside and under, that drives like a bat out of hell and handles curves like a modern car.
This isn't a garage queen that's rotting sitting inside. The engine runs great and stays cool, and I don't mean taking it out for 6 minutes around the block and drive like grandpa, I mean take this car on the freeway to L.A. and mash the gas pedal. Drive that Six Pack as it was meant to be.

I've had my fun with it, and plan to get another Mopar soon, lack of space in the garage hence the reason for selling.
Asking $39,000. Or shoot your best offer! Call or text at [Three One Zero] 780-7756. Ask questions, I'll be happy to answer them for you.

I have no problems helping with shipping as long as you take care of scheduling and paying the shipping company.

Thank you!

not a factory v-code (440+6) car.
It has a modern AC now but if when you look at the dash you can see it had AC from the factory, too.
No 440+6 had AC from the factory.
He worded carefully around it. True RT but not original 440+6 car

An intelligent, well thought out ad about a beautiful well done car. I don't want it but I want to buy it just as a thank you for not being a moron.
But I won't because he never hooked up the a.c. and heater.
 
He had aluminum head, steel crank,...in his mind and that's how it comes out sometimes. You should see my own edits.
 
never seen a counsul put in those regards.....good point actually...that makes me feel a wholeeee lot beter about my setup hehe:yaayy:
 
Here's how it worked back in the day. One would buy a 440 6BBL so one could go faster. Things like bucket seats, consoles and "fun" goodies added weight, so, you'd go slower. Get it now.....?
Yes sir makes sense but it would be a lot fun with 4 on the floor and a pistol grip.

No doubt about that.......
But trust me, easing into the throttle with a 440 6bbl and automatic, and feeling the smooth torque curve increase as the vacuum secondary carbs come into play ...... Is still a lot of fun.
 
A manual power shift sounds way, way cooler.
I didn't buy this TorqueFlite bullpucky back then either.

I remember the first time I ever saw a TorqueFlite in action. It was in '62 at the old Aquasco drag strip in southern Maryland. At that time, the Chevy 409 with a four-speed was the absolute king of the hill - along with the Pontiac 421 cu. in. four speeds too. But not on that day. . . Two '62 Mopars showed up sporting 413s with staggered four barrel carburetors - a Dodge convertible and a Plymouth Belvedere with automatics. Everyone scoffed at them, saying no way those cars would win against the 409 four-speeds.

Everyone was wrong. They put every one of the Chevys, Fords and Pontiacs "on the trailer." And then raced each other for the final eliminator. I forget whether it was the Dodge convertible or the Plymouth that took the final honors, but I'll never forget how those automatic 413s performed.
