Can It Be Saved Or Should It Be Parted? You Decide The Fate Of This 1967 Dodge Coronet


Can It Be Saved Or Should It Be Parted? You Decide The Fate Of This 1967 Dodge Coronet

Ron Ward sends Brian the most killer Ranchero on Planet Earth and he sends me a flat-black 1967 Dodge Coronet 440 crew cab. Ok, I’m sure he’s trying to tell me something, but after looking this Dodge over, I’m not quite sure what the message is supposed to be.

There actually is quite a bit going for the Coronet: Think of it as a four-door 1967 Charger. The running gear is dead-nuts reliable, if not basic: a 318 and a 727 automatic keep the sedan rolling. It’s equipped with a second 12v battery hooked to a solar panel in the back window to distribute electrical load better and to have plenty of juice. The car has airbag suspension, and…

…ok, screw this. Let’s go with the modifications. Start on the outside: that’s not a spray-bomb job, but is “holographic flake” black. The wheel and tire combination is stock, and those two are the least offensive mods. The car has ground effect lights that change color, an interior straight from an Ely, Nevada whorehouse (complete with similar color-change glow lighting), a chain steering wheel, carpeting that would probably glow bright enough under black light to be seen from space, and for some reason that we’re probably sure we don’t want the answer to, it has an ICOP DVR recording system jammed into the dash that can record from two different cameras in the car. Yikes.

The seller claims to have invested $10,000 in this build (and that DVR thingy is worth $5K alone!) but he is willing to sell the whole thing for $3,000. I wouldn’t go near the house this car is parked at without two officers and an independent film crew to verify that I’m not the guilty party. But that’s me…what about you?

    I think this is an example of over accessorizing. All the extra fluff is devaluing the car. I payed less money for my 67 Belvedere Sedan. And mine has original paint and interior. Although i dont have the airbag suspension. I have the same motor and tranny. My car also does not have “Holographic” paint, fluffly interior, chain steering wheel, the dvr thing, or the fast and furious lights. If thats what your into thats fine but you can get this car for a lot cheaper without it looking like a “Nevada Whorehouse”

    What is this? A rolling porn set?

    That thing needs a crime scene clean-up crew’s attention before getting within 25ft of it.

    Then have the owner take off ALL the funky lights AND the video system, then consider $2000 as a top price.

        I was thinking much the same thing myself.

        Still, nothing you can’t fix in a few hours… it’s not like biohazard gear is particularly expensive.

    This could be used in the sequel to “Up in Smoke”. Cheech could be picking up his grandkids in this Coronet.

    It should be saved, a few hours of removing the doo dads, of course wearing gloves, and alot of disifectent and it should be good to go, For the love of God what were they trying to do with that weird stuff.

    That’s below the belt Bryan! Ely gets new whores every three months, that thing will be ugly for years to come.
