There were only 10 1969 Hemi Coronet convertibles built by Dodge in 1969; this is one of four optioned with a 4-speed, and it stickered out at a healthy $4,892.90.

Of those four, this Bright Green Metallic J-Code convertible is the only documented example in existence, today showing just 18,400 miles since new.

Yowza.

I still remember the first (and last) time I got my doors blown off by a Cornet 440. I was driving solo and he had a carload of guys. Flew by me like I was tied to a tree.
 
One day we’ll live in a world where cars can look this cool, have no emissions, and don’t mash the driver into a pulp during a 25 mph collision.

I have two friends with Coronet R/T drop tops.
Not put HEMIs, but still rare cars and so beautiful.

One is a survivor he's had since new.
The other is a project that the guy found in a barn near his house. It was there for years and he didn't know. He's known around his area as the biggest MOPAR nut. How it stayed hidden from him for so long is crazy. He even knew the previous owner. He just didn't mention it. It's a 68. Lots of one-year only parts.

i'm not a big rag top guy, but i would rock the frack out of that.

and also.....3.54 gears AND a Hemi AND a four speed ?

can you say 150 mph+ ?
 
Love the color.

I'd imagine that keeping that running would be a full-time job...

Just driving it regularly would go a long way in keeping it in tip top condition. Problem is owners/collectors don't like to rack up the miles on the odometer.

If it was mine, I'd drive that thang. To hell with depreciation :messedup:
