Hi there! For sale is a HIGHLY optioned 1968 Dodge Coronet R/T 440 HP convertible! There were only 528 Coronet R/T WS27 convertibles made in 1968, and even fewer with these factory options! This car is the REAL DEAL and has been sitting in a climate controlled garage since 1991 in Avondale, Arizona. This a true garage find waiting to be back on the road again! Perfect restoration project.
Car is taken apart but nearly 90-95% of the original parts are still there. The original engine is gone and now the car has a 440 with a 1969 RB2 casting in it. The transmission, driveshaft, and gas tank are out of the car, but included in the sale. Car also comes with an extra trunk lid, radiator core support, center console, and 440 heads. The owner since 1988 was attempting to restore the car, but had neck surgery in 2016, and thus was unable to complete the restoration.
Car was parked in 1991, since the owner accidentally advanced the timing too far, and a ticking noise started in the engine. Motor is most likely seized from sitting for so long. It is missing the back glass for the convertible top and probably some other minor parts. The cars drivers side quarter panel was hit by a motorcycle and has bondo in it. The trunk lid also has rust around the key tumbler as well. Other than that, the car just has some minor surface rust.
