Automotive Lust of the Day, Yeah, It’s Got a Hemi Edition: 1967 Dodge Coronet 500 Hemi Swap

This Dodge caught my eye because it is the spitting image of a car that I passed on in the late ’80s. That car was also a 1967 Coronet 500 in light blue with Cragar rims but it deviated in three specific ways.

Other than the painted bumpers and wheel covers, I really like this car. I’d throw on a set of Magnum 500s, switch out a set of mint chrome bumpers, and start looking for a ’70 Superlight grille. I think it is going to be on the lot for a while at the asking price.

Published by Marty Milligan on November 10, 2014

This Dodge Challenger is one of two that were prepared by Autodynamics for Chrysler Corporation for competition in the 1970 Trans-Am series. Sam Posey drove number 76 to a fourth-place finish at Mont-Tremblant and a third-place finish at Kent. The car still retains its original Kieth Black de-stroked 340 small block, four-speed transmission, and Minilite wheels. Resources:
