1970 Dodge Coronet R/T Hemi Convertible – 2 examples

1970 was a watershed year for classic muscle car culture. Never before since there were so many cars to choose from. Dodge was at the forefront of the movement with the Charger and Challenger. But the Coronet wasn’t as popular even though it had almost the same options and engine choices. In 1970, you could order a Coronet with the R/T package, optional 426 Hemi, and convertible body style. Apparently, only two customers did so, making this car incredibly rare (via Motor Trend).

With an aggressive front end, great mechanics, and a long list of optional equipment, the 1970 Coronet R/T is considered one of the most interesting classic muscle cars. It’s too bad that the Hemi was in so precious few of them.
