The Dodge Coronet, initially a full-size car, transitioned to an intermediate in the mid-1960s, birthing iconic muscle cars like the Charger and Super Bee. Despite its versatility in body styles, it excelled as a performer, particularly in its two-door versions with powerful V8 engines, including the 426 HEMI®. The Coronet A990, a limited run of factory Super Stock racers, showcased its performance in 1965. The Coronet R/T package, introduced in 1967, offered top-tier performance with a 440-cubic-inch RB engine as standard and the 426 HEMI engine as an option. Despite selling nearly 185,000 units in 1967, only a small percentage opted for the R/T model, making them rare finds for enthusiasts. A restored Coronet R/T from the Gause Garage collection exemplifies the timeless appeal of the model, boasting a flawless appearance, rare color combination and matching numbers under the hood. Despite its excellence, non-HEMI examples like this one remain relatively affordable for collectors.
