Dodge Coronet R/T Hemi – The Heavy Hitter
The 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T Hemi was a heavy hitter in the muscle car world. With a 426 Hemi engine, it packed an incredible punch. Its powerful engine and bold styling made it a force to be reckoned with on the streets. The Hemi V8 engine was the top-of-the-line powerplant at the time, especially in a Mopar. The look and feel of the car was so bold that it became a sales success, rivaling anything that GM or Ford had to offer at the time (via Hemmings).
When they call this car the Heavy Hitter there’s good reason for it. The tough-as-nails styling and its one-of-a-kind performance were something that you didn’t expect in the Coronet. While this wasn’t a Challenger or a Charger it still offered the same performance. Mopar gearheads everywhere remember this car for being something truly special. It had the kind of attention to detail that only Dodge was pumping out around this period.
