Those Cornets are really just as nice looking as the chargers and road runners. They need more glory.

[@yamahaguy1732]

I saw a clean blue on on the highway yesterday they are eye catchers for sure

Always likes the road runners vs the chargers and the cudas vs the challengers

[@elderbarry3890]

I used to ride around listening to ACDC every morning before school in one of these in blue

Bring on the Mopars! They designed and built some of the greatest muscle cars of the 60’s & 70’s. Can ya tell I’m a fan?

[@chrismc.4437]

So exuberant!!

[@LITTLE1994]

I'd take that as an alternative to the Charger. It resembles a Road Runner, but meaner.

[@vinceruland9236]

The Chrysler B- body platform was used on the Belvedere, Satellite, Road Runner, Charger, and Coronet. Same chassis, and suspension throughout, so they're basically all the same size and similar weight. Probably one of the finest chassis runs in muscle car history.

[@davidcampbell1306]

Mentioning custom wheels and tires brings back some memories. I worked at Super Shops from 85 to 90 over in Hermitage. Jim jr. used to come over with different cars and we would test fit tires and wheel combinations until he found something he liked. He was a good customer and a pleasure to do business with.

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Thats awesome

[@bryanhallman8183]

It would also be another $30K in price.

[@harrykoyl3784]

Doesn't justify half of the 30k....! The motor swap is the first red flag. Some of the gauges not working, and missing/disconnected switches, are another... Billy Bob's Backyard Auto Body, doesn't help either! But, it sounds nice!!!

[@nwesterbeckmaster]

@@harrykoyl3784 what's your concern about the motor swap? Aren't the other electrical and gauge issues easy fixes? What would you value it at then?

[@zackatron925]

@@nwesterbeckmaster Mopar fan boys have this nack for wanting anything of value to be 100% original numbers matching yada yada. Worried about needing to fabricate pieces left off when the engine was out and such. Clearly not worth as much as a real “survivor” but still a nice car

This one does it very well

[@jlaw5462]

I had a 68 Charger in highschool with a 383/727 combo....it had a shift kit in it as well and chirped 2nd gear. Everyone at my School thought it was so fast but it was mostly a sled...but it sounded fast..haha

[@markhamrick9078]

My God, what a nice ride Nick!! Even like the 'old school' placement of the tach!!! Best friend's family had one when I was growing up! Great memories!! 383 replacement is actually a slightly more reliable block than the original 440, so not bad!! One of my favorites.... Oh, if only I had the cash. Serious contender. Will sell fast!!! 👍😎Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 everyone!

[@nwesterbeckmaster]

I still don't understand why someone would take out the 440 and put in a 383. Any ideas? Seems like it's taking away from the performance

[@markhamrick9078]

@@nwesterbeckmaster Definitely a takeaway from a performance aspect!! Personally, I love the 440.... Probably took it out, especially since Coronets don't bring as much dollar as a Road Runner of the same vintage.... OR, it just got trashed and finding 383's are much easier to find!!! Lol!!! Still, it is a nice ride though!! 👍😎

@@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate exactly what I mean. Just my polite way of saying "wtf mean dude go find one!!! Especially in that condition"

[@DanielYahuahYahushaTorah]

I agree but at the same time if it didn't have any of these imperfections it would be at least twice as much, probably more. Upwards of a 100k if it was 100% correct and mint. Maybe even more. But what they advertise and what they take for it might be different.

Nice car Nick, I wish it had a manual transmission. I will say that as you walked around the car though I really just think back to the days when cars were styled so well. These cars were everywhere in the early 70s with 318 V-8s and could be had for $850 in decent shape but this one is sure sweet!

[@toddselph5992]

Nice solid coronet r/t. I had a 68' coronet 2dr when I was 16 back in the 90s. Only gave 1500.00 for it. It just had a 318 but it was a good car.

[@doug_horne]

I'd get a ticket within the hour in that thing. Sweet ride.

[@johntonkinson1175]

Wow that is a nice coronet. Sounds like it runs great. Love the tire chirping with the shift kit. Sounds good, looks good, and love the cam . Looks like a edlebrock intake. Holley carb ? Or edlebrock ( carter). 727 transmission. Love the thigh ing hearing the cam lift. Well worth $30k with just needing headliner and maybe a seat or two reupholstered. Sweet

[@johnwhitcraft-sj7ip]

If the car is in drive and the vehicle is stopped fully and you have it in drive and it's not fully stopped drive or reverse you can damage the transmission and suspension and drive shaft bro so I'm just letting you know about it bro.

[@ta392srtchallenger5]

What I have noticed many of the cars that pass through on this sits are missing their seatbelts. This 1968 is missing the lap belts and the shoulder belts. Why would someone deliberately remove the seat belts. Is this R/T worth 30 grand, a closer look would determine that. It would clearly be a good entry for a start of a driveable project.

[@kqq4970]

There weren't shoulder belts in 68

[@ta392srtchallenger5]

@@kqq4970 FACT: In 1968 - Seat Belts Become Nationally Mandated. FACT: The first federal law mandating all new cars be equipped with both lap and shoulder belts in the front seat is introduced. The three-point seat belt had been around for nearly a decade, the law did not specify the need for any particular design. As a result, many automakers installed separate lap and shoulder belts. Society of Automotive Engineers study at UCLA leads to calls for two-point seat belts, lap and shoulder. U.S. manufacturers provide lap belts at rear outboard positions, NHSB issues initial Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 208, 209, setting standards for lap and shoulder belts in front outboard positions, lap belts in all other positions (to take effect 1/1/68 and 3/67, respectively). The bottom line is many of the older vehicles that go through used car lots, have had headlines replaced. For whatever reason that person did not reinstall the shoulder harness or a previous owner took them out for no good reason. In some cases even the lap belts were removed. The vehicle in question in this case is a 1968 Dodge which was produced with lap and shoulder belts. Don't take my word for it, the information is available if you are inclined to look. Respectfully.
