Overview

This 1968 Dodge Coronet R/T was refurbished under previous ownership, and it was subsequently modified by RK Motors of Charlotte, North Carolina, with the installation of a 451ci V8, a Tremec five-speed manual transmission, a Dana 60 rear axle with a 3.54:1 limited-slip differential, a TTI X-pipe exhaust system with Dynomax mufflers, and staggered-diameter Circle Racing Magnum 500-style wheels. The car is finished in blue with white tail stripes over black vinyl upholstery, and additional equipment includes a Holley four-barrel carburetor, a Be Cool aluminum radiator, power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, a center console, a Hurst pistol-grip shifter, and an AM radio.

Delivered from the factory in Bright Blue Metallic (QQ1), the car was repainted in blue with Super Bee-style white tail stripes under previous ownership. Equipment includes chrome bumpers and trim, R/T badges, circular side-marker lamps, a driver-door mirror, and a black tail panel. A paint crack on the trunk can be seen in the gallery.

The Circle Racing Magnum 500-style wheels measure 17″ up front and 18″ out back, and they are mounted with BFGoodrich g-Force Super Sport tires measuring 225/45 and 275/35, respectively. The car features a torsion bar front suspension, a leaf-sprung live rear axle, and power steering. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel discs with a Master Power brake booster and 11″ rotors at all four corners.

The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in black vinyl along with a color-coordinated headliner, door panels, and carpets. The transmission tunnel was modified by RK Motors to accommodate the replacement transmission, and equipment includes a center console, a White Lightning shifter mechanism, a Hurst pistol-grip shifter, and a Dodge Solid State AM radio.

The three-spoke steering wheel frames an 8k-rpm tachometer with an inset clock, a 150-mph speedometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows under 42k miles, approximately 2k of which were added by the seller. Total mileage is unknown.

The replacement 451ci V8 was built by Indy Cylinder Heads, and it features an Eagle 4340 crankshaft and H-beam connecting rods as well as a COMP Cams camshaft, Wiseco 10.25:1 pistons, Indy 440-EZ cylinder heads, a dual-plane intake manifold, a Holley four-barrel carburetor, aluminum valve covers, and a 440 INDY-branded air cleaner. Additional equipment includes an MSD Pro-Billet distributor and a Be Cool four-row aluminum radiator. Replacement spark plugs were reportedly installed and the oil changed in 2023.

Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Tremec TKO600 five-speed manual transmission, a 3.5″ driveshaft, and a Dana 60 rear axle with a limited-slip differential and 3.54:1 final drive. The TTI exhaust system features an X-pipe and dual Dynomax mufflers.
