1970 Coronet

0.0 (0)

The Dodge Coronet R/T received all new front sheet metal for 1970 including a smooth split grille which tapered towards the center. Dummy rear fender scoops were now standard and wore R/T badges (repeated on the nose and between the segmented tapering tail lamps). A bumblebee stripe circled the rear. Engines were the same as before with the Hemi an additional $718 more. But low sales made 1970 the last year for the R/T and the convertible. Only 14 Hemi Coronet R/Ts were built 12 hardtops and just two convertibles. From 1971 on the Coronet was only available as a four door sedan or station wagon.
