Wrecked 67 Coronet R/T

[AR67GTX]

I don’t think the wrecked R/T is the same one in the track, near-miss video. No windshield lettering on the one in the video and no apparent wheelie bars on the wrecked one. Looks more like some sort of street accident now.

It's the same one as in the video. Look at the #21 on the windshield and the name in the passenger window.....you can see both are the same in the video and of the front view of the fenderless car in the first picture.

OK, looks like I’m wrong.

Hi, I was digging through my garage, I'm rebuilding a 440, anyway decades ago I bought heads, I have at least 3 set of heads, I just buy stuff, well heads are 1964 426 B-RB 2.08/188 Max wedge, 240856518 well have them wonder if I should use these on my build, for street, Car? I have a 67 charger, car show good, but not restored # match, but I upgrade to car always, owned it for 23 years, latest, I put the biggest torsion bars, rebuilt whole front end, drives so much better, no leaning. I can find something to put new motor in or charger DC

MW heads are great, but you have to figure out an intake plan. The ports are much bigger than little stock intake ports.

Should start a new thread for this.

What is the planned use and driving style for this car?

MW heads are huge ports and valves, made for max power, not so much for drivability. Block needs machined for exhaust valve clearance. Is the engine apart?

you are not going to use just any intake manifold on them, no heat crossover and a choke would be good for your area.

Most of my family lives around Drumheller Alberta, I go up and drag cars to my home area, I live around Tacoma Washington. Have 3 mopars, best one 1967 Charger 383 automatic, in good original condition

Have to look into all of this before any work starts. DC

I bought this rt a few months ago... will be going to get straightened up shortly.. have most everything and a donor car to put back together.. my uncle is a 50 year i. The business of frames and said he have it been in a week nk biggie. ;b

 

[ink440!]

I bought the wrecked race rt and was going to swap all the hp stuff to my 67 rt but it can be straightened and being a true rt i couldn't part it out!! So now i have 2 R/Ts

 

[eldubb440]

nice............. yeah, that car is a fixer for sure

 

[ink440!]

I've collected everything and it will be on a frame rack in the next month or so.. i just not sure about a engine yet but leaning towards a red-eye

Did you get the story about what happened to the car?

I thought the same as others At first ( hit wall at track ) but he told me the throttle cable stuck and the car jumped and hit what im guessing is the building in Picture? First im seeing it. The car has a 4.11.spool and they are really made to go in a straight line .I think not much you can do to get the car to turn at that point I know even just trying to move to around the shop is next to impossible!! Steve ( owner at that time ) said something to that affect? I was surprised to hear he said he drove it often on the street in town ?? He also said he lost some of the turning radius with the HP Tubular suspension and wish he left it stock?? I will be going back to the stock steering .. nice guy.. after i got it home and realized i have to fix it I told him plans changed i didn't think im going to use the parts on my rt and will fix it he was so happy he went up in his garage attic and just gave me everything he had for it and had took out before he raced it! Heater core grill surrounds grill nos stuff boxes and boxes.. two other hoods fenders. He actually gave me most everything needed to repair it after frame straighting ?? He did take the race looms and gages and steering column and wheel ( I still need ) but i got the original dash and looms.. imo it lqqk worse than it really is.. no way im letting a real R/T go to it's grave over this... the way i see it .. it's more work to cut fab tub and section my rt to fit the rear end than fix !

Happy to see you'll be repairing and saving the car.

 

[ink440!]

I picked this car up for half asking price to help with doner parts b block k member .. it actually has great bones !! Its actually turned out much better than I thought to the point i don't want to cut it up ! Lol... but its got to end somewhere... i can't save them all

 

[R413]

Your are like the cat lady down the block, never enough!

Lol.. well like i said i first bought to swap the spool to my rt.. i couldn't bring myself to cut into my frame rails so it just makes more sense..
