Found me a new Coronet 1967 440 convertible.All number matching and in excellent shape.70000 original miles truly a survivor.

Great find. It looks solid as a rock. 66-67's don't rust nearly as bad as 68-70's, but its getting harder and harder to find examples like this. Especially convertibles. Enjoy.

Ha ha...There was no VIN on the block in 1967! You can have a date coded 1967 car but there is no way to prove it is the original engine unless you have been the only owner since it was new. 1968 was the first year that engines were stamped with the "partial" VIN.
 
Very nice car!
How bout some more pics.
Whats she got under the hood? You cant tease us Dodge boys like that. Auto?

When did they start stamping numbers on the radiator support & trunk lip? Just curious, personally those are the numbers Id care most about, unless its a Hemi or something.

My 66 is supposed to have one on the Radiator Support, and MAY have one behind the Rear Bumper. I've read that not all had the rear number.

It's not a VIN# behind rear bumper, it's the SO number that appears on the fender tag. The VIN # should be on the back of the core support. With the build sheet you can verify options for a little more on originality.
 
Does the VIN tag indicate 318? Fifth digit would be F. Does it have headers? Did 318's come with dual exhaust?
Just askin'. Nothing takes away from the fact it is a beautiful ragtop.
