1970 Dodge Coronet RT R/T in Black & 440 Engine Sound on My Car Story with Lou Costabile

[@rusty3831]

What an awesome MOPAR! MOPARs have always had a special place in my heart, especially since my family had a 1966 Dodge Coronet 440, albeit the typical family 4 door sedan in beige. I am so glad this R/T has the MOPAR rally wheels, my absolute favorite wheels. These wheels were on my black 1973 Dodge Charger SE Brougham...excellent combination! While I totally understand that it’s a show car, the owner should drive this bad boy. Cars are meant to be driven!! Thanks Lou...what a great find!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Rusty, High praise for this car :-) You're welcome, Lou

[@Moparmaga-1]

I'd trailer it to nice big parking lots & or the drag strip. There's way way way to many horrible drivers & haters out nowadays that just don't care or hate this car because they're looking for "climate justice". I had a 73 charger se brougham also when I was in high school & man do I wish I still had her. It was originally gold with white buckets & black carpet, slap stick w/ black console. No a/c & a 400 4 bbl.

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

Very nice! I'd be tempted too, to drive this beast. It looks & sounds great! Thanks for finding & sharing Jerry & his Coronet w/us, Lou!

[@loucostabile]

Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Glad you enjoy this car. I'd like to take this car for a spin too :-) Lou

[@686Snub_NoDash]

Ok Lou ... now you posted my favorite coronet ! Something about that split front end that I've always loved and 440 six pack makes this a BIG WINNER !!!! Thanks for reading my mind again Lou !

[@loucostabile]

Hi Fred Naught, "BIG WINNER" :-) You're welcome, Lou

[@20alphabet]

Very nice! This model didn't enjoy the popularity of previous and subsequent years, but I always liked it

[@loucostabile]

Hi 20alphabet, Glad you enjoy this car. Cars have an amazing way of looking better with time, Lou

[@jcnme27]

If I could travel back in time to 1970 and had to choose between the Challenger, Cuda or Coronet. For me, it would be the Coronet hands down. Of Mopars muscle offerings for 1970 the Coronet was and still is underappreciated. Absolutely gorgeous!!! Two thumbs up and...my left kidney!! :)

[@loucostabile]

Hi jcnme27, High praise & a kidney too :-) Lou

[@686Snub_NoDash]

I have to agree with you ! I would take the coronet over a charger or a roadrunner also !

The grilles on those '70 Coronets are so evil looking.

@@thehuntx Well, that car is certainly the bee's knees.

[@oliasofsunhillow7116]

Throughout the fifties and then more into the late sixties, they were making cars more aggressive looking for the muscle car crowd! They designed this front end to resemble bee wings, as well as the Coronet and Super Bee taillights!

I drove a 70 Coronet 500 all through college in the early 80s. Same rear panel but a 383 4 727 and every option except electric windows. Fast, fun and reliable.

In September of 68 I was on my way to school and saw a new 68 Coronet that was white with nice rear lights , but later on there was also a yellow 68 Charger with black roof and interrior . Dodge had some really nice designs where most of us kids too young to drive.... did know that if we couldn't ID the car it must be a dodge . FORD and Chevrolet played it safe with minor changes ... but Dodge took the risks and i always remember the details on the dash for the luxury up scale cars.

Though, I did switch to electronic Ignition,did fouls spark plugs sometimes quickly, and to Monroe Overload shocks last couple years as : suspension wore loose too. Worked a lot on that car, as my first new one after Pharmacy School, etc.. Interestingly, I did not buy a new 1970 Challenger 4SPD/383 Magnum etc from same Dealer adjacent to Thornburg Drug Store in Syracuse , IN : Was also an AMC DEALER FOR several years...

Hi Ray S, Glad to read you learned something (I find when I'm learning it's so FUN). Regarding the video, you're welcome, Lou

[@markg7030]

The Charger was based on the Coronet from 66-70. The first time Dodge used the R/T emblem on a car was the 67 Coronet R/T followed by the Charger in 68. Cornets came in convertibles, 2 door, 4 door and station wagons. Starting in 71 the Charger replaced the 2 door coronet.

[@rays7437]

@@markg7030 Interesting. I wonder why they had 2 different models of essentially the same car. Maybe the Charger was the more "luxury" model. I have always wanted to collect the 66 - 74 model Chargers. The 68 is my favorite because of the round tail lights and also I'm a 68 model myself
