- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Our buddy Ralph (Blown 440 Roadrunner).asked if we could take a look at the 426 in this 68 R/T because it had some minor drivability issues. We didn't think much of it until we actually saw the car it was in, and then it was love at first sight!
Here's a quick walk around of the car pointing out some of it's finer features and the details that are unique to the 1968 Dodge B Bodies.

I personally love over-restored cars. And I love when they look stock, but are way faster than they should be, with a FAST series car being the extreme.
I bet that car is screaming to be driven hard and fast.
I agree. Where it looks completely stock from the factory yet it has today's suspension and drivetrain technology hidden under the metal.
And one thing I really like is when it has original gauges, like speedometer, Tach, clock etc.
I never got into those digital dashes that started popping up in the 90s. And I get it, they're much better for something you're taking out on the track and trying to be competitive with, but I just love those old style gauges and dashboards
I don't know how nice that car was before the Resto but somebody did an absolutely beautiful job on it I'd be interested but I'm assuming that cars probably going for six figures
In all honesty I don't care for the driver's door alignment.
@bbb462cid went back to look.. you're right, can't tell if it's not shut/latched completely or what..
That's $130kUSD car.
@@karlchristensen43 could be.
@@bbb462cid You're right, the rear of the door does not line up properly with the body. The body gaps on these cars were never great, but that looks a bit more off than it should be.
I agree with you Tony the burden of ownership of something this perfect wouldn't be worth it. Having to protect it from myself and everyone else would be stressful! I need to drive my cars.
Uncle Tony, my childhood hero STEVE MOYER had one. he was the boyfriend of my older brothers best friends sister! DE JA VU!!! i remember after school and for steve after college, him coming around to see DEBBIE and taking a couple of us local kids for rides! getting pinned in the backseat as that hemi kicked in all 8 barrels! thanks for the memories!
Looks like a minor leak from the transmission cooler. I saw a wet spot on the front valance and I think I saw a drop of red fluid.
Not to nit pick, she’s a beauty! But isn’t there a rubber seal on the hood to the radiator core support?
Ahhh..... That gets a definite YES from me. I can just as easily overlook those later 'upgrades' as they are purposeful. Beautiful car all over. I wouldn't want to own it either, I like to drive mine without worrying too.
She is not telling you to buy the car for you, she is telling you to buy it for her!
That shop he has wouldn't stop the thieves.
Love to see a follow up video on what the problem was and how it was fixed. Great video uncle tony!!
Aw man I wanted to hear it start up and run!
I feel cheated that they didn't.
I'd actually rather have an over restored car, and I don't even care if it is numbers matching. In fact, I wouldn't at all mind having a clone, as long as it was done right. I am not a collector, I want a nice car to drive. I am not a fan of the redline tires, I'd probably put RWL BF Goodrich Radial T/As on it. Not quite period correct, but they look great. I don't mind if a car has been mechanically upgraded parts, as long as they don't ruin the looks. What I DO mind is when somebody puts computerized electronic JUNK on a classic car that is supposed to be all mechanical. So many people have literally destroyed these cars by putting a modern computer Hemi under the hood, and 22" GHETTO REEHUUMS on it. I see undercoating underneath. I have seen undercoating used to cover up all kinds of horrible things. I hope that is not the case with this car.
I appreciate the fact that uncle Kathy says....go buy it!!!!! And uncle Tony says.....nooooo no lol its way to nice and I can't have things this nice 🤣🤣🤣 that's why most mechanics never own anything that's to nice lol
It’s cool just don’t touch the plugs lol.
One of 219 produced.
Anytime you see dog dishes, you probably shouldn't race it.
My late father bought a new 1968 R/T with a Hemi. He ordered it. It was yellow, with automatic transmission, power steering (requested by my mother) 3.55 Sure Grip and full wheel covers. The Hemi's got plain 15 inch wheels because those were the heavy duty police wheels, which may have been on the D-100 pick-up's too. They were not standard service 15 inch wheels, but heavy duty wheels. They didn't have the Magnum 500 wheels as an option, because those were not made in a heavy duty version. When the R/T arrived and my father was disappointed by its performance. He pulled the distributor and swapped in a dual point Mallory distributor and all was well. We drove that car all over the country and 10 years later, it was pretty rusty, but I was driving it to high school. Direct Connection recommended that the constant voltage, solid state voltage regulators be used with the Mopar electronic ignition. The two field alternators can be used with the mechanical, points regulators, if one of the alternator fields is grounded. I've done that, just by looping a wire from one field connector to a screw on the alternator.
What are the width of the 15" cop wheels? I'm looking to put those on my Roadrunner. N
@@sjaywjayw70 The wheels are marked 6.0 next to the valve stem hole for 6 inch width. 68 and 69 Hemi's got F70-`15 tires, 69 A12 cars got G70-15 tires. With the valve stem holes at 12 o'clock, there is an H between the lug holes at 8 o'clock, for Heavy Duty.
I know what you mean about not being able to own a car that perfect. If I owned something that perfect it would own me. I prefer cars that I can enjoy and not stress out about.
I have a feeling tony would find something wrong with my all original 70 chevelle except the truck strips were redone in the early 80s and the tires lol
Obviously this car didn't come from Maple Motors , lol 😀
The car is missing the hood to radiator support seal also. The fuel regulator thing is so puzzling.
Upgrades are ok, as long as they’re tasteful and serve a purpose on a car like this. I’m sure a lot of them were done with drivability in mind, and even Jay Leno isn’t above improvements on cars worth more than my house if it means he can drive them anywhere he wants to go with them.
That yellow is a favorite of mine, and it’s a gorgeous car. Without knowing what the issues are with the car, I’m going out on a limb and saying it’s going to be the advance curve in that distributor, it’s going to have too much centrifugal, and those cars like a lot of initial and limited centrifugal. The power brake booster and master cylinder lid should be black.
Love it buddy. But I like your character better.just saying.
I saw something majorly wrong with it….. it’s not in my driveway. Lol
Buy it Uncle Tony!! I wonder if it’s a matching numbers car? Would love to find out what you find with the tuning issue. Awesome car! 🙌
RUclips pays better than I thought if Uncle Tony can go buy this R/T..
$127,995.
Yah, this is the kind of precious metal I want to invest in.
That is one gorgeous 68 Hemi R/T! The 68 Coronet is my favorite of the 68-70 Coronets, and especially an R/T with a Hemi. I wouldn't want to own it either because I would want to hammer it to death and it's too nice for that.
Im with you Tony. It's too nice for me. I need one that's already beat up so i don't feel bad driving it as intended
Absolutely beautiful vehicle, I’ve never seen Tony smile that much in a video before. Thanks so much for this video I love the car
Hard to believe the American automobile went from this to today's crossover, whatever they call them. Crap is what they should be called. Very sad for sure. Who's in on the wager. Is uncle Tony going to end up with this car. I'm betting yes. He's not going to sleep till he gets it. Lol.
They build what makes them money. Mini vans are great all around vehicles in most every way other than being cool. So, they invented the crossover which is basically a less useful but cooler mini van. And people can’t get enough of them for whatever stupid reason. As long as they keep selling they’ll keep making them.
Love it that is a real gem ❤
Oh, go ahead Uncle Tony. Get it for Uncle Kathy... it'd be a great grocery-getter.
That thing would be stolen in no time.
I have a '73 Buick Limited that my Dad bought new. Yeah, kinda afraid to drive it! If, God forbid, someone hits it, where could I get parts for it????? I belong to the Buick Club and they're pretty good, but how many 2dr. hardtop Electras do you think they [GM] made? Fenders and quarters won't line up! Or window glass?? Sorry sir, good luck on your search! But there is another issue. My Buick has 21.5k ALL-ORIGINAL miles that I don't want to run up. Even the brake pads and shoes are factory original! My poor car sits WAY too much and I have considered selling her. But where could I ever find such a pristine car again??? I trust this car because I was involved with the purchase start to finish...had 3.6 miles on her when we picked her up and brought her home. Thanks for letting me vent, Uncle Tony!!
Beautiful rolling work of art.
Don't understand the need of a fuel pressure regulator with a stock type Hemi mechanical pump unless it is over 6 PSI. And the pressure gauge...how do you read it down there? Other than that a really nice high end resto. Chrysler threw these cars together back then and not precision assembly like on a resto. Factory cars had paint runs all under the hood. I know....we had a new 1970 Hemicuda and it wasn't that nice under the hood or in trunk. It came with a leaking torque convertor seal and had to go back to the dealer next day!
Lol its fun watching you geek out on this car.... i bet that really doesnt happen often anymore.
"Just buy it"!, you know Uncle Tony probably does have enough cash to afford this car, 😂😂😂 but the problem is that you don't drive this car, you park it in the living room in a glass case and just look at it!
Someone knocked it out of the park on the restoration of a gorgeous 68 R/T Hemi. Thnx for sharing and going over it in precise detail Tony.👍👍
Aw come on UTony 128 G's is a drop in the bucket. I believe the color is Sunfire Yellow.
I have a 69 Coronet 440 with a #'s matching 383 that is the same color.
Never thought I would own a yellow car but there is something about that shade of yellow that sets these cars off and I have found that the lady's love this color !
I agree with you about the caretaker responsibility on a
car like that. I have a 68 Super Bee that is the same color and not nearly as nice as that. Mine is nice enough to get compliments but not too nice to drive
Being top line as opposed to stripper Super Bee I wonder why it didn't get the chrome trim around fender scallops like my '68 Coronet 500 had. It has the other foo foo - fender trim, turn signals on hood, blacked out rear tail light panel w/chrome bezels. I'm starting to think my 500 is more rare than the R/Ts ! It had the split bench with fold-down arm rest, extra lighting - so nice. I miss it more than the 'Cuda. 👀
Uncle Tony is smitten! 😄
Yes, this R/T is much better than anything ever built by Dodge and the UAW in 1968.
That car Beutiful
Too nice for me, love it but I’ll enjoy my collection of drivers aka beaters
That! That is the exact car of my dreams. The one I've always wanted.
It would be great if you could somehow find and interview the person who restored that car.
Wow...that is a real beauty!! Color is awesome as well. Electronic ignition is better; no Dwell problems. Newer alternator is better. There looks to be a slight irregularity in the door gap and rear sheet metal up near window. Who is selling & how much?
Beautiful car. Had a 67 chevelle SS 396 in a very similar colour go past me the other day
Several years back I bought a Trans/Am Indy Pace car from Street Side Classics, it has 34,000 original miles, an 81 model with the 301 Buick turbo, not fast but like brand new! Sure miss that car, had to sell to help pay father in laws med bills cause of the "C" , but they are a very reputable company I recommend!.
Imagine waking up on nice sunny spring day wandering out to the garage after breaking with the keys in your hand and opening the garage door to that thing ooooh the joy !
You blow me away with your depth of knowledge and passion UT and how cool is uncle Kathy she says " just buy it " now that's my kinda woman
Breakfast *
Kathy knows Tony better than anyone, she was just poking the bear.
Wow《☆》👍🏾🍺🍕🤳Immaculate✌😎☯️
really nice coronet. styling was so clean and it's not a decal plastered vehicle like what was to come soon after. It's subtlety is what makes it cool. (not hating on decal cars, I like them too but understated sleepers are my favorites ).
My favorite of all the B body Mopars is the 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner. I much prefer it to the GTX, which cost more new. The Roadrunner just does it for me. I also like the 1969 Coronet Super Bee, but they ruined the front end in 1970.
Gorgeous from every angle. Someone put a pile of work into this beauty!
i have three 69 dodges with black plastic Buttons . early cars
Buy it Tony,have to listen to the Wife whats wrong with you ;) Better have a sweet car thats all done before the feds come and take them away from us!
My car looks like new after 20 years and 70,000 miles of driving it,1970 Charger 500 restored and still people think its a year old restoration.I drive in rain and got caught in snow once! Even parked outside for 1 year while I was building my new house and garage,car had frost and rain,wind blowing on it and it looks like a show car still. I did add factory style undercoat but still zero rust or bubbles on the paint.A few rock chips nothing major! The 383 Magnum still runs strong and its done up a little,bullet proof reliable and 12 second 1/4 mile capable with 3.23 gears,but its a sweet driver that sends me back in my seat and chirps 2nd its all I need,plus can smoke them at will on a roll with no brake holding! I dont bag on my keeper cars,dont buy the ones I am selling those get the whole 1970's type movie driving style treatment lol
Listen to the Wife and buy it! Life is short!
I want it but i would drive the shit out of it that car was built to run and when she needs it it can be restored again but to cool to sit in a garage
That's Daffodil yellow
Wow! Beautiful Hemi car. I love these types of educational walk around videos. These details that you are pointing out are the best, thank you. How about doing something similar for a Cuda, Road Runner, Challenger, Dart GTS, etc. Whenever you see a suitable example of course. Thanks again. 👍
This is the 5th Dodge Coronet that I've seen this week. I believe it's time for me to own one for myself 🏁 Thanks for sharing Tony!
My friend added an electric fuel pump near the tank and kept the mechanical pump because the stock pump couldn’t keep up at full throttle.
Looks like every inch of that car has been restored. It’s about as perfect as they come!
Look closer. It's an incredibly nice car however. There's things on this car the factory didn't offer.
Cars like this . command top dollar .
Wow. Absolutely beautiful
Absolutely beautiful R/T! I had to chuckle when uncle Tony mentioned it had the later style voltage regulator but made no mention of the aftermarket ballast resister right next to it.
Beautiful car...If it's number matching, the value $$ would be unbelievable. Regardless, this car's worth a lot of $$ and worth every penny.
Spectacular is right! Well done. Beautiful car
Thank You to feature this car. Fantastic video.
Wow! Beautiful car!
Do you rebuilt 70 challenger hemi engines
Absolute beauty. That's what I strive to do with my '71.
That car is truly a thing of beauty !!
Not true on the black push buttons. I have a 69 Charger built 1-14-69 and it has black push buttons.
Ok, Uncle, please tell us about the magic behind timing these distributors. 🎉
Very nice , thanks for sharing this spectacular Mopar
Bought a 1968 Coronet Super Bee from a guy in 1969 used with 8K miles four speed 383 Magnum. Same color, I believe it was called Sunflower Yellow. Sure wish I still had it. 😎
One of the coolest and funnest cars I had was a 69 Coronet 500 👍🇺🇸😁
I loved .y 68 coronet 500
I was a kid when cars like this were just used. They were on their 2nd or third owner. None of them had those skinny tires or factory hubcaps. I’d have to change them out. 😁
No under hood pad for Hemis?
Uncle Tony
Isn’t “obey” in the wedding vows somewhere…….
Buy the car……..!!!!
I know I am going to be getting a lot of hate for saying this, but as beautiful and over restored as that Coronet RT is, if I had it, while it would still be beautiful, it would not remain quite as perfect as it currently is because it would have a few small flaws in various areas of the car. The reason why it would soon have a few minor flaws is because it would be doing exactly what it was meant to be doing from the moment it was first assembled by the guys at Dodge. THAT CAR WOULD BE DRIVEN ON A REGULAR BASIS. It would not be a trailer queen or a pampered princess that lives it's entire life in a climate controlled carpet floored garage. It would still be garaged at night and during the winter but during the spring, summer, and fall, it would be on the road and if it were to get rained on, OHH WELL. I would keep an eye on the weather for things like hail or extremely high winds that could knock branches out of trees or even topple entire trees... you know... the things that would have me headed for a place to get it out of the danger zone. I don't care if a car is a $1,000,000+ 32 Duesenberg SJ, a 48 Tucker, a 71 HEMI CUDA, or an authentic original 65 Shelby 427 AC Cobra. THEY WERE BUILT TO BE DRIVEN, not to be some museum piece that is kept hidden away from the world under full security and surveillance and is considered to be too valuable to ever truly be enjoyed. If you want to own a museum piece, buy a Van Gogh painting or an original Wanted Poster for Jessie Jane or Al Capone.
Wow talk about eye candy total eye candy Time Machine 😳🤯I have owned my 1967 impala ss 427 rag top , 4spd in console black Nagahide buckets , super think power top , tuxedo black , my joy . Total 1967 Time Machine 😊
Beautiful ride! My neighbor had a '68 RT coronet back in the 80's, 440 auto gold with a black top and pristine. Traded a 72 black lacquer with gold stripes duster for it at a used muscle car lot. Was just another used car back then and became his daily driver. Only had 30k miles on it and he traded it for a month old fj 1100 Yamaha crotch rocket... I could have kicked his ass haha I gave him a hard time about that until he passed a few years ago. 68 has always been the best looking year IMO
Friend had a 68/69 (was the 70s man) roadrunner. Black, bench seat, column shift, rubber floor covering. It was loud & terrifying. Yet a 454 chevelle always beat him.
Buy it Tony drive it like it's 1980 it'll be restored again. It was born to drive hard only difference time make is now we know when to fixem up before they turn to 💩
Thats my favorite body style. My favorite car ever is a 1968 dodge coronet 500 383 magnum 4 speed.
Did the numbers match with the trunk lip serial number stamp? Old elephantology 101 tip.
In a week I’m going to look at a 1968 ss 427 impala th400 , an l72 survivor, red with white rag and interior, if all goes well I’ll have two imps , oh happy days 😊🎉
I appreciate and love it too, but like you, I wouldn't want to own it, it's too pretty to drive! I do all the work I do for the pleasure of the DRIVING experience, anything else is secondary, my cars aren't silver hunters, I like to keep them tidy, but that's all!
Under the hood: stock hood hinges should be black, yes? Serial plate black/silver?
I remember asking about ralf glad to see him seems like a good dude
Yes, that's a museum piece, show stopping trailer queen, absolutely should never be driven, kept in an environmentally controlled and sealed environment, and kept out of the direct sunlight.
What a gorgeous car. Lou had a black one his My Car Story channel by coincidence. Survivor to boot. Love your channel man! From 🇨🇦
"Just go buy it" its listed for $128,000 how much do make off youtube gotdamn.
Uncle Tony, love your channel but what is it with you guys that review pristine cars…everything has to touched repeatedly leaving a conscientious owner with the task of walking around and cleaning all the skin oil and salts off pristine surfaces?!? Don’t mean to sound anal retentive but this stuff collects dirt and impurities that can lead to deterioration. Spoke my peace…keep up the great work!
For a $127.995 i would want all small flaws to be corrected. Crazy amount of money for a budget muscle car back in the day.
I remember Ralph...was a few doors down from you when you were working out of the storage facility, right?
That car is gorgeous and those taillights are sexy AF...Dodge needs to bring those back somehow
He should buy that 🔥👌😉😊
He wouldn't know him self
Yea wow amazing what a huge amount of money can do huh. Whats the big deal. Something you're viewers can't buy. Losing some of us diy guys
I'd buy a lift for this car just to show off that belly! JFC what a BEAST ... but just like Tony, this is way too nice for me!
Tony' get the mellow yellow you only live 1 time treat you self you got green light mom's said my brother had 1970 TA challenger and it was pink it got oem restoration and red it stared evey 2 weeks and driven in and out long drive way i said dee how bouts you drive the car to shows nana i good the car stayed in 4 walled basement cave it was .he driven to work and sons working too they one at time taken it to get lunch this guys are 35 37 evey time they got pulled over speeding dad laffed both atsame day great fun brother is restoration on 1968 dart 340.all most i pulled glass in mopar or my be ford
That's MY car!!! I want it back. If you look close you'll see my name all over it.
Yous have such nice looking car's and so much variety, here in Australia, there isn't half as much variety, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
