Newbie in Oregon with ‘68 Coronet R/T

[piver]

Welcome, love the 68 R/T! Great color combo too!

Thanks! Yes, not quite the original Q code on body paint, but not complaining about B5 (I think that’s what it is now).

Beautiful 68 you got there! Welcome from the Canadian North!

Welcome to FBBO from Ontario. Good looking R/T in a marvellous colour. In my area, the '68's seem more uncommon than a '67 or '69. I have a '67 R/T in Daffodil Yellow.

Welcome Pete !!

Good luck with your project and keep posting those PIC's !!

Thanks @Dave6T4! All R/T are great, and so cool how our northern friends are helping keep the dreams alive. I'd love to see more of your R/T.

Thanks @Bob Lynch! I'm overwhelmed already with the supportive collective brain trust here. Will-do...working on cooling related this week w/ re-coring original radiator, getting a shroud to put back on, sourcing a correct fan, etc.

Welcome from Alabama, 68 RT's are beautiful cars. Here's mine with the elusive 4-speed.

Thanks. Nice one you have! A 4-speed on mine would have ideally completed everything. But, can’t complain.

Sharing the love.

Your wish is my command! First photo is some "off-leash" exersize. Last photo is from about 25 years ago. 2nd. place '66-'67 B-body trophy at Carlisle Fun Field. Drove it there and back; 1000 mile round trip from Ontario. Those were the days!

Amazing. Driving long-distance, and winning. Just love that color on Dodges. Personally, I like the former rims. Thanks for sharing!

I had the body colour cop wheels on for 25 years. I decided to change them up for the redlines on Jeg's Sport Torque rims. I found a set of "R/T" stickers that fit the small wheel centre on E-bay.

Definitely works. Figured you wanted a change. I’m torn on redlines, just can’t break away from white letters. Looking now for some new wheels…Magnum 500 from Wheel Vintiques look nice.
