For Chrysler/Dodge's first effort at a "themed" Muscle Car - the Coronet R/T was IMO a winner. It had lots of emblems, came standard with Hood Treatment, Redline Tires, Pin Stripes, Bucket Seats and your choice of Auto or 4 speed. When Chrysler saw that GM was limiting their cars to 400 cubic inches and Ford only had the 390, they made an excellent decision: go with the 440 instead of the 383. The only feature lacking (IMO) were Chrome Exhaust Tips which were standard on the 1968. Dodge sold almost 11,000 1967 Coronet R/Ts. Not bad for a car that listed for $3353. But adding things like a radio, power steering and brakes and Magnum 500 wheels put you in the $3750 price range - expensive for a Muscle Car. The convertible was $263 more.
