1967 Dodge Coronet 440 R/T: Regular Car Reviews 

7.2 litres. Holy shit I could melt down my entire engine and fit it inside this ones cylinders

Bias ply tires, drum brakes, a 440 with 480 ft pounds of torque, and lap seat belts. I'll never have balls the size of my father's.

I don't think anyone in the world gets into a '67 Coronet with a 440 and expects it to handle anything like a newer car or have any kind of road feel. Drum brakes, pencil-thin swaybars and torsion bar suspension aren't of this era. That said, these cars are a blast to drive, you just enjoy them for what they are, and not what they can't be.

Thumbs up for Cubic inch to liter conversion

This is the Prius' worst nightmare. A 3-speed automatic on a car powered by an engine that does not have the word "emissions" in it's vocabulary.

Love muscle cars with the dog dish hubcaps.

I own a '66 440 Coronet that I dream of restoring to this level. these cars are like .44 magnum revolvers. everyone loves the idea of being dirty Harry but once you fire it you quickly fine out how much of a wrist breaker it can be. But! once you master it, you feel like king shit lol great review.

Don’t lie, anyone who pulls up at a stoplight in this thing is a badass. End of story.

"Sounds like a Borderlands weapon" I see you're a man of my culture as well.

I can hear the gas gauge moving. You killed it with that one. 😂😂😂😂😂 Great work, Mr.Regular ! Forgot to add: That Coronet is all badass! 😎👍

My '67 was burnt orange with a white top and interior. I got it when a guy took it away from his daughter and I essentially paid off the $1300 remainder of the loan.. The novacane steering was needed with that heavy ass engine. Accurate review. Thanks!

"People say the 20teens are bad, we weren't around for the '60s" 2020s have entered the chat :(

BLACK and LONG

He literally misspelled "Coronet" to bug you all. Don't fall into his trap! XD

I shall now call kids "crotch fruit"

I remember driving my friends '64 Dart back in the illustrious mid 90's. It had that 60's over-boosted steering and I swear I could have guided that thing with two pubes and two pieces of scotch tape.

HAS NO ONE NOTICED HE MISSPELLED CORONET AS CORNET IN THE TITLE OF THE VID AND THE OPENING SONG

God what an absolutely sexy car

I think this car, in that color, with those rims and hubcaps, is among the best looking cars ever made.

Buick and Oldsmobile got up to 455. Cadillac got over 500.

I test drove a 1972 Baracuda 440 4 speed with no power steering. I hardly noticed the steering effort while trying to control the clutch that must have required 100 lb plus to compress. Slowly releasing the clutch required a lot of effort. It was easier to just pop the clutch and let the spinning tires do the slipping.

Honestly I had a 1971 Fury with similar steering (Probably the same) and believe it or not you get used to the limited (or nonexistant) feedback from the steering. You drive the car for a few days and it just feels right like that. So much so that the manual steering on my new 50 shoebox ford feels really wrong even after having it for months.

This the greatest honest car review channel . What makes it so great is that it steps on and crushes the rose tinted spectacles into the dust .

"Sounds like a borderlands weapon" love the originality of this channel hah

"Like driving a 90s arcade game" This is a very accurate description! My first car was a '78 Chevy Impala. Yes, green. Zero feedback, zero road feel. But that road sofa was a great road trip highway car.

"This car sucks and no one would own it." I'd totally take it over most new cars today.

My dad had a Road Runner. The lack of safety features in that vehicle and this one are mind blowing.

I'm 68. My granma had a slant Coronet. Bright red outside and EVERYTHING inside the same bright red. Red seats, red rugs, red headlining, red dash, red steering wheel, red doors, RED! RED! RED! Safety? My 6 yard old sister, like the rest of us, was not wearing a seat belt. She used the door handle to pull herself up around a turn at a traffic light and rolled out through the open door. Hey, she was pudgy, so not even a scratch. So onward to Newberry's 5 and dime we went. Yeh, she shoulda been laying under the back window as she did on longer drives. Safety makes you weak and complacent.

Videos like this are why I love Regular Car Reviews. Videos like this are why I _keep coming back_ to Regular Car Reviews. I own a 1970 Ford Torino GT convertible (Well, I don't _own_ it, I'm more the car's caretaker while my father works out of town every two weeks) and I fully understand the "Ride or Die" mentality that's associated with classic muscle muscle cars. Hearing the 351 under the hood roar to life never ceases - and it will never cease - to bring a big, dumb, goofy grin to my face, knowing that I have a piece of automotive history, however small it may be, sitting in my driveway. Riding in it, you can _feel_ the air of opulence associated with a classic convertible, and you really start to understand the mentality of someone who, out of every car they could've chosen to be their first, went with something as braggadocios, with the bravado, as a car with more power than comfort. The reverence people hold these cars with isn't because they're _nice,_ it isn't because they're _special,_ it's because of the juxtaposition. Seeing an old Mustang, an old Charger, an old Torino, in modern traffic is like seeing an old family friend that you hadn't seen in however many years, even if it's just for a few fleeting moments. These old cars are smiled upon because, no matter how old, or how young, they put a smile on everyone's face. Everyone knows what a '65 Mustang looks like. Everyone knows what a '69 Charger looks like, and almost everyone loves them. Like what Mr. Regular said right at the end - These old cars, with their overbored V8s and overestimated power outputs, irrecoverably shaped car culture, for better or worse. To see them still around is special, even if the cars themselves are not. Fight the Night, Because Tomorrow May Be Futile.

A 1968 Coronet 318 V8 3 speed torque flight was my Drivers Ed car in High School, my 1st introduction to mopar cars, I remember how much better it drove than either my mom's 1960 Falcon or my dad's 1965 F85 Cutlass with 2 speed automatic..

I always enjoy the car history lessons. Very few, if any, other channels bother with this kind of information and, as in so many other areas, context is important.

Years later I heard the band Get Up Kids for the first time, and so now I know Roman’s intro/outro is a great reference. Freaking love this channel

No matter what anyone says. I'm a die hard Mopar guy and i always love the classics over the new shit being built nowadays. Good video though

You can REALLY tell the cut off from the Gen-x'rs here to the Gen-y/Millennials. Gen-X and Boomers know this car is cool and that with some modern bolt ons' like tires, shocks and springs or Torsion bars you could really change the handling of this car. Go a little deeper and put in a O/D trans, maybe some disc brake conversion and different P/S pump and that solves a lot of the modern car issues that the Millennials have with any car built before 2005. I love Mr. Regular and his reviews but man, I was born in 1970 and drove cars of this era as dallies and I did not fear for my life every time I closed the door and hit the starter. Another thing that I don't think gets taken into account is the fact that this car is now 52 model years old. I mean come on when I was 36 in 2006 a car that old was a 1954 model year, and I wouldn't just stand and gasp at how did these Flintstone mobiles get anyone from point A to B without killing them. It's all perspective but come on its not like a model T vs. a Tesla.

YES!!!! This was awesome, we need more car reviews like this!! An absolutely awesome car and awesome review! :)

Oooh, anyone catch the Roman singing the Get-Up Kids at the beginning? That's how you know these guys are good..

Extremely efficient gasoline evaporator machine, or EEGEM. So sixties I love it.

I would like to see a 67 Impala, definitely for comparison sake and not because I am a Supernatural fan or anything.

I had to haul one of these from Dublin Ohio to fort Wayne Indiana one time. The car was an all original true survivor original tires floor mats everything. Every time I stop to get diesel was a half hour to an hour event. Literally every man and woman at the fuel station had to come up and look at the inside and outside of this thing nobody could believe how good a shape it was in. When I finally got it to the guy in fort Wayne, I had him back it off of my trailer and he immediately whips it around takes it out into the street leaves about a 60 ft Black Mark goes to the end of the street does a 360 donut and comes back and drives it into his Warehouse. Only then does he say okay I'm ready to sell this now. LOL. It was one of the more fun cars that I've ever transported.

I'm still not sure why Mr. Regular dislikes this car. It's so awesome. The late 60s Coronet is one of the classic muscle cars.

Not sure why Regular was losing his load all over the 440, in terms of it being a mahoosive engine. Chevy 454, Buick/Oldsmobile/Pontiac 455, Cadillac 472/500 and that's just General Motors stump-pullers from the era.

I love the game references. It doesn't seem like they would show up on a channel like this, but the occasional borderlands or assassin's creed reference brings a smile to my face.

I love that all the power steering and other classic issues with this car are exactly the same I had with my 91 C1500 lol.

My parents had a '68 Coronet '500' 383, loved that car wish I had it today.

Prefer '68 and '69, but this 1967 440 in black is GORGEOUS... Good stuff guys

Who else noticed he always hates on mopar

Love your reviews but you overlooked my passion car responsible for opening the Pony car war; the Barracuda. It debuted 2 weeks before Mustang and boasted the 273cid V8 or LA engine; and the Mustang didn't even have a V8 upon introduction. To back up further, MOPAR arguably had the first muscle car, which by definition was a small car with powerful V8, and bare creature comforts, ie a seat, a heater, and engine. That car was the 1962 Super Stock Dodge with a 413 cid Max Wedge. I do appreciate your work, and I'm just a guy with a passion who does not want to see history mis-recorded. Thank you and keep up the great work!

Great video man! Good shots of the car, narration was both funny and educational but the cherry on top was that song. You got me singing along.👍

Is Cornet, basically like the Impala but from dodge?

Quality Get Up Kids intro/outro Roman, well done.

When Mr. Regular uploads a review, all is well with the world Just for a little while

Been watching your content for awhile. WOW! love the words you use.

I had a '67 GTX, almost exactly the same car, but much better received by enthusiasts, perhaps because more famous racers like Sox and Martin dominated Super Stock in one. SS was the most talked about class back then. The 440 in these '67 B-bodies was touted by Motor Trend as "The quickest way from 0-100," deliberately dissing the hemi. The 440 was a very torquey motor and very streetable. Most stoplight races were short and the torque/ weight combination of these cars put the power to the pavement well through the limited slip rear. 8-3/4 was the factory choice for these when equipped with an automatic. I ruined mine by doing a poor bearing job and then put a Dana from a '68 Roadrunner that had been wrecked ($125 I paid--it was a lot for me then). I wouldn't say these were bad cars at all. Primitive, yes (I had manual steering) but it handled OK, stopped adequately with drums all around, stayed cool and worked in all weather. Tested top speed was 107 in mine, with 3.55 gears. I never took it to the track, but they were said to run high 13's stock. That was plenty on the street in those days. The stock 1-2 shift produced a reliable tire chirp bone stock. Until the advent of aftermarket heads, the '67 440 head was the prized wedge motor head (Max-wedge heads were rare, different and pretty much only found in track cars).

Dodge Coronet: The official car of the Zodiac Killer

My dad (who is a baby boomer) had a 69 Coronet when he was younger, and this review describes everything about younger him to a T. I love my dad.

I showed your videos to my father. He loved your PT cruiser review.

A "coronet" is a crown. A "cornet" is a brass instrument similar to a trumpet.

Came for a car review. Walked away with life lessons.

Fantastic vid, Mr. Regular. An instant classic.

I really liked what he said of fight the night with the 440 because the next day may never come. I'm building a 440 currently and look at that engine and the Charger it's going to be in as my escape to freedom so the way he described that puts an interesting perspective on these engines along with the cars/people they moved.

You could hear the fuel gauge if it wasn't for *BWAAAAAAAAAAH*

What about the ford 460?

I always admired how badass american cars of this era looked like....Like, This thing is stock, but looks like its a custom build for some horror movie killer...Absolutelly love it

My first car (in 1994) was a 1967 Dodge Coronet 440 two door hardtop. It had a two barrel 383 with 727 automatic with 8 and 3/4 rear end. It was Garnet red with a white top. I was 16, I really miss it.

"This car sucks and no one would own it." Yeah speak for yourself man.

You forgot the GTO. Pontiac Started the Muscle car era. 389 and 400ci engines available beginning in 1964.

hey! don't dis the '67 Coronet! I learned to drive on that car......and blame all future speeding tickets Ive received on that fact. Ours was dark green, and my brother & I called it our BatMobile (yes, we were very 60's children). Our parents were depression era kids, so I dont think they were looking for muscle car glam. We went on a lot of road trips -- from Florida to Maryland to Ohio to Boston, and all up and down the east coast. I never heard my father complain about its performance, and he a NASA engineer. It was definitely a fun car to drive, right up to the day my brother totaled it at 20plus years old..... I still miss it

You got me into Hardcore History, thanks man.

i have never clicked on something so fast

I know this video is about the 440 so thats where you stopped in the litre count but you totally left out the chevy 454 (7.4 litres) and the buick and olds 455 (7.5). Not to mention the caddilac 472 (7.7).

I fuckin' love that the dude has the 12v defroster you buy at truck stops because the thing never gets warm in the winter. And I love that the speedo doesn't work. This car is pure balls. The guys that used to beat me up high school always drove cars like this.

just for the heck of it, whats the mpg on this thing?

This is not a real R/T it has a 110 mph speedometer the actual R/T like mine has a 150 mph speedo

i've been waiting for this ever since i seen it in the background of the subie vid

Bonus points for the Hardcore History callout! Love that podcast.

so it's geared like a Honda

damn beautiful car

You should have a car podcast. I can just tune in and listen all day and work on improving my use of metaphors

My grandpa's first high school car. Brand new in the 4th of July.

It looks like a Scooby-Doo bad guy car

440 cubic inches of BROWN

My dad bought a 66 Dodge Polara with a 440 back in the late 70s from his boss for $125. It was during the time of odd and even gas days at stations in NY state(the last digit of your license plate corresponded to which day you could buy gas). It was in great shape and was the meanest looking grill on a car I ever saw. The trunk was so big that when my dad bought my sister and I 10 speed bicycles they both fit in the trunk with the lid closed. It also hauled ass for such a giant beast. And it was that ugly, dark, pea green color so popular back then.

In the late 40's when the name was launched Big Band/Swing music was in vogue and a Coronet was one among the musical instruments many such bands used...It wouldn't be a stretch to say a large portion of the populous at the time hearing Coronet would have visualized a musical instrument rather than a 'bejeweled crown'.

3:33 you just described me...

I can't wait for boarderlands 3

Roman, I dig the Get up Kids inspiration on this tune. Well done.

A new RCR review, not surprisingly my favorite part about 4 am on Monday mornings

the "so fawwwnnncy" voice returns

I wish you would've mentioned the Chevy 502 😉

The way you described the power steering really reminds me of late 70s Cadillacs

Mr. Regular, a car review for a Jeep Wrangler YJ would be extremely appreciated by many. Like who doesn't love the red headed step child of the jeep world.

oh god the baby boomers manifested themselves into a car

its not a Coronet 440. it is a Coronet R/T. A Coronet 440 was the luxury trim of the Coronet and had nothing to do with the engine displacement. Coronet 440s were not available with a 440ci Wedge engine.

"Oh, you have a Coronet? Then by all means, take my wife to BROWN UNIVERSITY."

Love the vid. I thoroughly enjoyed the ending song a bit too much in this one and am currently drunkenly singing it. Played it five times and sang it ten. It's also 11:16a.m. What is my life!? lol -- Oh and if you're curious, the original song is Valentine by The Get Up Kids.

Why has no one mentioned this car only has one rear view side mirror

This car looks so awesome , if I were rich I would own one of these not a Ferrari or a Lamborghini .

There is only now, there is only NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN. Brian's finest work.

The Coronet has a feel of a huge family car but all the traits of a muscle car. I love my Coronet 500. Glad he reviewed one even if I don't agree completely. Mr. Regular, you're the shit, love your videos.

this car sucks and no one would want to own it... amazing, that wasn't how you felt about your Falcon
