I kept clicking on "Other Currencies" hoping to see if it was an error...

I'm assuming an Auto? But 600K fora car missing a motor and not restored....Ummm Yeah!

Sounds like the 68 Hemi/auto Coronet R/T Convertible I tried to buy many many years ago. It was silver with red gut, but no motor and tranny...and rusty, rusty, rusty!! Guy want $25K for it! I had a guy go look at it for me and he said that even the Hemi K-frame was rusted out! I offered $10K for it....which was WAY more then it was worth...but he was firm on his price.

Another clueless idiot who thinks he has the rarest thing in history

There was a reason that only 4 were ordered to begin with.

There was a reason that only 4 were ordered to begin with.

I'd like to know what that reason is...

Just like the limited number of Hemi Cuda convertibles in 71.....

I think as far as these 4-door cars are concerned, the Hemi wasn't a suggested engine option so you had to think outside the box to get one. Only 4 people found it necessary to bother. The couple of articles I've read on these it was suggested that they were ordered for towing capacity by older guys. I can't imagine that a Hemi wouldn't be a good engine for towing back in the day but the wedge motors were no slouches and were part of towing packages already.
As far as '71 Hemi verts? I think the mounting insurance costs and rising fuel prices were enough to extinguish those numbers. I mean how many were there in '72???

^^^Actually, five. Three US, two Canadian. But $600K??? No way! I'd go $60K.

The red and white cars that were sold at the Wichita dealership were both ordered by guys that wanted something that would pull a boat or RV without issues. I've laid eyes on both of those while they were still in Kansas in the late '80s. Garlits has one of them in his museum.

 

[polara71]

Obviously none in 72




Interesting that only four people found it necessary. Then again it was a different mindset back then. My 70 was bought for towing and it has a 383-2. I spoke with the original owners they found that sufficient.

With todays excessive behavior I would imagine a whole lot more HEMI 4dr Coronets would be ordered

That option cost/price was around 30% increase in the cost of the car, especially on a fairly low line car. I would think that most dealers did not know to put a 4 door with a hemi and a lot more probably didn't care to even sell hemis because reading bulletins from the era you know you are going to have customers with complaints on that engine and warranty work. Better to sell 318 or 383 2bbl reliable and won't come back over and over.

Yet another crack head with a mopar to unload.

 

[68plymouth383]

600,000 for a car you can't even drive!! Monthly payments if financed are 11,600 a month!! For that kind of money you can buy a mansion.....

 

[68plymouth383]

If its so rare why is the engine missing?

 

[Weaverda]

that's not going to happen.. if it does the buyer is a fool.

 

[70bigblockdodge]

I believe the hood is butchered also, I may be wrong. There were no super stock packages in 66 the scoop in the pic is a WO from 67 and a 65 A990 would have the crease down the center. Don't take that as gospel because anything is possible in mid sixties cars. If someone knows for sure please share or feel free to speculate. My .02 anyway.

Peso's...

Someone get the VIN the engine is probably rolling around in a non original hemi show car that is being pushed in and out of trailers at Carlisle, the Nats, ect..

Doh that won't work no vin on 66 block. Another reason its missing.
