1968 Dodge Coronet R/T By Troy Montague



1 of roughly 1950 4-spd cars built. original dark green metallic w/black interior. Restored to show quality but not on a concurs level. Car came from California and is very solid. Factory 440 w/ 4-speed and 3.91 gears.

Engine Mods include: Edlebrock 750 carb' Weiand dual plane manifold' Crower 292 dur. 500 lift cam with Rhodes lifters 10.5:1 TRW pistons. larger exhaust valves and cleaned up exhaust ports. Mallory dual point ignition Headman Headers w/ 2 1/2 exhaust and turbo style mufflers.



Car sounds great and is wicked fast. The rear tires are 295/60/15 and dont stand a chance in first gear! Im guessing with the engine mods it probably has 425-450 hp. Excellent driver and head turner. Car was repainted ten years ago and is the original color. It needs a few things here and there but for 35 years old, its great. Besides, fixing it up is half the fun!!!
