1969 Dodge Coronet 500 Wagon

Description

This 1969 Dodge Coronet 500 Wagon needs all that cargo space just to carry all of its awesomeness. Not only is this one of the coolest years for Dodge designs, but this one also has its numbers-matching big block. Plus, it's quite a survivor-style unique classic, and there's a ton of paperwork to back it all up. Oh yes, time to dig into the details of a truly unique grocery-getter.

You know this is something special because Mopars seem to be the rarest of The Big Three, and wagons are expensive (you could have had a Super Bee and change leftover instead of a premium Coronet 500-series wagon.) In fact, this is believed to be one of only about 1700 and we doubt you'll find one with this level of originality ever again. The black paint is not only factory-correct, but it also shows the right signs of being the factory application. And we love how the full trim package outlines the wood paneling decals. The full presentation is not perfect, but that's not what you want in a survivor. This is meant to be a classic that proudly wears its history, and the way the panels continue to line up so nicely, this one does it with an honored distinction. Another reason why this is so desirable is that the 1969 Coronet had one of the meanest faces around. So even the wagon looked like a muscle car. That's why this looks great with a few sporty touches like the upgraded headlights, dual exhaust tips, the roof spoiler without a luggage rack, and Mopar Road wheels. So it's a total package that feels like the family wagon nostalgia with the right amount of muscle car flair for modern fun.

The black interior keeps the survivor style going. Also, we just love the idea that this wagon is a black-on-black V8 Mopar (the ideal setup we want on an R/T hardtop!) This has a clean and complete look on the upholstery, headliner, carpeting, and door panels. It really is wonderfully detailed with the working courtesy lights, Coronet 500 floor mats, premium wood-like trim, and insignia trim in the seatbacks. This is loaded for its era with the working AM radio and a power rear window. This is even a factory air conditioning car (it will need servicing to blow cold again.) There's a huge amount of cargo space, especially with the rear seats folded. And so we bet you can think of all sorts of uses for everything from the ultimate tailgater to a terrific way to promote a business product.

Under the hood is the numbers-matching 383 cubic-inch V8. This was originally intended just as a big torque powerhouse to haul kids and cargo. But this wagon has survived to be something special So they let the big block inhale deeper with a Holley double-pumper four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with a sweet tune as the dual exhaust feeds the Dynomax mufflers. But this wagon is really just about being a fine cruiser thanks to features like power steering, power brakes, front discs, and the numbers-matching A727 three-speed automatic transmission.

A story like this needs the right paperwork to back it all up. That's why you get the original window sticker, dealer invoice, factory buildsheet, maintenance records, and other historical docs. You're looking at a desirable Mopar that may be as unique as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So don't miss your chance, call today!
