1969 Dodge Coronet R/T RT 426 Hemi 4 Speed in Bronze & Ride on My Car Story with Lou Costabile

[@audieconrad8995]

Lou, that car is sooo fresh. Perfect. 150 speedo, dog dishes and single stage paint. And ohh..."that thing got a Hemi?" Sheeesh - wow.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Audi, High praise :-) Lou

[@tct9mm151]

What an amazing HEMI Coronet! Imagine buying this beauty with only 35,000 miles. Fantastic! GREAT VIDEO LOU.

Hi TCT9MM, High praise :-) Thank you for the kind words on this video, Lou

[@briansd2772]

Don's car is Sweet! But his throwback Direct Connection t-shirt brings back fond '80s memories of Chrysler factory support for hobbyists with technical support and performance parts that fueled the muscle car boom and restoration of vehicles just like his R/T. You are now our "Direct Connection" with great features like these! Thanks Lou!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Brian SD, Happy to read you enjoy this "sweet" car and the T-Shirt too :-) You're welcome, Lou

[@stvitalkid7981]

In 77 I saw an ad in a Hot Rod magazine offering a free “I get mine from Direct Connection” t-shirt. Of course I clipped the order form and sent it to some PO Box in Detroit. I was very happy to find my free Mopar DC shirt in my mailbox a few weeks later. Even better was the fact I wasn’t charged any duty on it when it entered Canada. Proudly wore the shirt to class in high school. Fellow car guys among my classmates were savvy enough to know the slogan was NOT a drug reference.

[@gzuzsavz]

Good note! Yes, I recall fondly leafing through the DC parts catalogue & ordering a few things as funds allowed and having the calendars, too. Then the Mopar Performance days in the 90's-2000's was it? :) Pre Daimler buyout days were special. ..too bad the company wasn't bought out by the employees or something first. Lee Iacocca later regretted giving Bob 'Sellout' Eaton the reins. ..funny how Fiat of all companies really helped them be a musclecar making company, once more, far better than the toxic buyout atmosphere under Daimler Benz. The future under the mega conglomerate, Stellantis..is unclear, but ok at the moment.

[@Frankinsteinguitar]

We owned a "done up" 69 Super Bee with a healthy 383 and enjoyed it. Our friend had a 66 Coronet two door sedan with a Hemi and torqueflite. The difference was astounding! When he kicked down the throttle, all hell broke loose as it down shifted and the dual carbs came on board....what a ride. I have never ridden in a car with such brutal, neck snapping performance!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Claire, Thank you for sharing your experience in the difference in the two cars (383 vs 426 Hemi), Lou

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

That color is fantastic! Add in the hemi & the 4 speed, and here comes trouble! Don's car looks great. Thanks, Lou!

Unfortunately it will always be a reminder of the one that got away as well. Was buying a 69 R/T Coronet convertible w/440 a/t when I was victim of a guy running a red light in SF in 1989.

Beautiful Coronet R/T. It has to be a blast driving that car with a Hemi and a 4 speed!!! That car is immaculate, looks like you could eat off of the engine it is so clean!!! Fun Fact, when my Grandfather bought his 1968 Dodge D100 truck, the Dodge dealers were giving away "Dodge 3 in 1" slot car sets by Eldon and one of the cars in the set was a 1968 Coronet R/T. I still have that set and the truck!!! They also had a set for 1969 that had a Coronet R/T in it as well. Good one Lou!!!

Everytime I see one of these Mopar muscle car videos I am reminded of the one that got away! I had a chance to buy a 1970 Road Runner, bright green, air grabber hood scoop, pistol grip 4 speed, 440 six pack, dayna posi for $2,200 in 1981. It needed a throw out bearing in the clutch, and a front carburetor that was damaged in a small carb fire. I decided to keep my 1966 Mustang, and my 1966 Pontiac Grand Prix and not buy it. Lou, have you ever came so close to buying a car that you didn't and regretted it later in life? The fish that got away.......

Hi Lou & Don, WOW - thank you so much for sharing this incredible and beautiful rare 1969 Dodge Coronet R/T HEMI car! The color combination is just stunning with the T5 Bronze Metallic exterior paint and beige interior with buckets and even a Tic Toc Clock Tach! :-) Don, the restoration on your car is just incredible and the attention to the small details is second to none, may I inquire, did you do the four year restoration your self or did a restoration shop do it for you and what shop? Thank you.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Jason, Happy to receive a "WOW" :-) I'm not sure who did the restoration. My pleasure sharing with you, and you're welcome, Lou

[@jasonmaxfield3641]

@@loucostabile Hi Lou, thank you for your reply and I must have watched this video on Don's car at least a dozen times! :-) I am hoping that Don may read the comments and reply on who did the restoration on this Diamond! Please stay safe and well!

Top of the heap, these were.

[@loucostabile]

Happy to read this car is at the "Top of the heap".

[@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism]

Nice one. That's the thing though, when you get one too nice like this, you can't drive it and it's not good for them to just sit.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Wabanaki [People Of The Dawnland], Happy to read you think this car is a "Nice one". I'm sure this car gets a ride on nice weather days occasionally, Lou

[@davethompson3140]

I am wondering why the R/T badging is placed on the back fender when on most other 69 Corronet R/T’s it is mote near the door on the back fender. Anyone know why? AND there goes Lucky Lou getting another ride in a beautiful rare car!! You deserve it Lou for bring these cars to us!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Dave, Not sure why the badge placements, and yes I hope a Viewer with knowledge can share :-) My pleasure sharing the ride with you, Lou
