Super Rare Hemi R/T Hits The Streets

[@BrandonLeeBrown]

My father worked at a Dodge dealer and ordered a new 1968 R/T with a Hemi. It had a 3.55 Sure Grip rear, with automatic transmission. It had almost no other options. My father was disappointed with the throttle response and he rejetted the carbs according to Mopar Performance recommended carb jetting and changed to the distributor to a Mallory dual point, instead of recurving the stock one. The 1968 Coronet would hold water under the trunk lid edges, against the trunk seal and rust out. Dodge fixed that in the 1969 Coronet.

Always loved the Coronet over the roadrunner/gtx because of the beautiful lines. The turquoise and white interior puts this one over the top.

[@andylappin4801]

100% the color combo on this car is stunning.. love it

[@michaelkehm3663]

[@voodootrucker]

Great car Campy!

[@antoniotutt4894]

I'm a Pontiac man but I also like my Mopars as well. That's a beautiful car!

[@musclecarcampy9922]

I think the color is very Pontiac-like.

[@richarddevoe5871]

Had the chance to buy a 69 R/T with the 440, a/t, a/c… same color combo with a white convertible top for $2200 in 1988 California. I had just gotten into a bad car accident in SF and was all banged up and I couldn’t swing it under the circumstances. Had a 69 Coronet 440 hardtop, white w/318 at the time and will always regret not buying it. My favorite car…period. That 68 brings back the memories and is an amazing Mopar… great video 👍🏼 Campy… it’s a Hemi R/T not 500 😮 (we know what you meant)

[@sergioleone3583]

Such a great looking car.

[@twagn]

So pretty and "yeah it's got a Hemi"

[@jason-hy8ci]

That's like the Cadillac of "68 Muscle Cars.

[@matrox]

My 69' Road Runner had the same exact roofline and rear glass.

[@andylappin4801]

That’s one sexy ass muscle car..love these coronet rt cars. Great job

[@andyfoley6906]

Awesome!

[@dogdoc1]

Like the blue and white. Same color combo, but different shade of blue, as my Roadrunner. 👍

[@musclecarcampy9922]

Technically, this was turquoise, but the sun was really playing tricks on us that day. Sometimes it looked blue sometimes it looked turquoise.

[@stanlee399]

Glorious Mopar 😎 What was the ring and pinion ⚙️ on this Campy ?

[@musclecarcampy9922]

Owner said he was not sure, but I think it was a 3.55.

[@stanlee399]

@musclecarcampy9922 Ideal. Just like the rest of that beauty.

[@bobdavis3357]

VERY NIIIICE!!

[@caspar0777]

wonderfull car !

[@TerryWeinhold-z7j]

He is correct about the Hemi having close to 500 hp

[@musclecarcampy9922]

Hey, I do my research.

[@matrox]

my 69 RR had that same plaid trunk liner.

[@poisedforduty]

Didn't i see this one for sale on RK Motors?

[@musclecarcampy9922]

Possibly a while back.

[@robertfinkelman549]

Mopar or no car 🤟🏻

[@DavidHaft1970]

I love these old cars, but what concerns me is modern unleaded gas. The lead in fuel was for lubrication, and does ethanol pose a danger?

[@musclecarcampy9922]

At this point, most of the cylinder heads have been upgraded with hardened valve seats. If not, there are lead additives or substitutes to use. Race gas, too. Ethanol can eat up a fuel system, too

[@matrox]

My 69 RR had black door buttons.

[@jason-hy8ci]

Many MOPARS have it.

[@matrox]

Add a modern 6 spd man. or 8 spd Auto trans with racing slicks will be low 12s easy.

[@WayneBaka-lj8qy]

I had one in forest green. No strip. Paid 13 hundred in 72. 😢

[@71three5ohscrambler8]

Seems to me that the Hemi could not reach max horse power having only travel a quarter of a mile. That's why it was a NASCAR motor. I think in most situations, the 440 Six Pack would win the 1/4 mile.

[@musclecarcampy9922]

You are incorrect. You could reach peak horsepower in first gear.

[@71three5ohscrambler8]

@musclecarcampy9922 I know, but can you run the 1/4 mile in first gear?

[@musclecarcampy9922]

@@71three5ohscrambler8No, but every race starts in first and if you have proper gearing you finish at redline in high gear.

[@71three5ohscrambler8]

@musclecarcampy9922 ur right. In the end it is about the gearing, the weight, and the driver. Rock on brother.😊

[@rebeccajohnson1407]

i had a 68 R/T 440 4 speed very nice car. this one wow i see it has a 69 shift nob other than that nice
