The Dodge Coronet is an automobile that was marketed by Dodge in seven generations, and shared nameplates with the same bodyshell with varying levels of equipment installed. Introduced as a full-size car in 1949, it was the division's highest trim line and moved to the lowest level starting in 1955 through 1959. The name was reintroduced on intermediate-sized models from the 1965 until 1976 model years.[1] Muscle car versions were available starting in 1965 with the 383 and 426 wedge cu in (7.0 L) Chrysler RB engine, followed in 1966 by the powerful 426 cu in (7.0 L) Chrysler Hemi. Other performance models included the "Superbee", and featured, the 383 cu in (6.3 L) Magnum, among other engine options. The nameplate "coronet" is a type of crown worn by royalty.
In the 1980s, the Coronet was used on Dodge models marketed in Colombia.
The Coronet and similar Plymouth Belvedere received complete redesigns in 1968, as did the Dodge Charger, which shared the B-body platform. There was a mild facelift in 1970. Trim levels initially included the base Coronet, Coronet Deluxe, Coronet 440, Coronet 500, and Coronet R/T. The Coronet Super Bee was introduced in early 1968 as a companion to the Plymouth Road Runner. In keeping with Dodge's position as a step above Plymouth, the Super Bee shared the Charger's Rallye instrument cluster and the Coronet 440's rear finish panel.
As in 1967, the 440ci RB V8 was only available in the Coronet R/T in 1968. The 426ci Hemi V8 was supposed to be limited to the R/T and Super Bee, but two 1968 Coronet 440s are known to have been built with this engine.
The Coronet R/T 2-door hardtop and convertible continued through 1970.
The Super Bee was available as a 2-door coupe or 2-door hardtop. Chrysler displayed a convertible with Super Bee stripes at car shows in 1968, but never offered it as a production model.
The Dodge Super Bee was a limited-production muscle car from 1968 through 1971. The original Super Bee was based on the Dodge Coronet, a 2-door model, and was produced from 1968 until 1970. It was Dodge's low-priced muscle car, the equivalent to Plymouth Road Runner, and was priced at $3,027. Available with the Hemi engine, this option increased the price by 33% thus 125 models were sold with this engine option. The Super Bee included a heavy-duty suspension, an optional Mopar A-833 four-speed manual transmission, high-performance tires, and a stripe (with the bee logo) wrapped around the tail. The name "Super Bee" was derived from the "B" Body designation given Chrysler's mid-size cars which included the Coronet. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Looks amazing, I would buy this, who else would?
I HAVE TO GET ONE OR 2
Yep, it looks like a very nice kit!
I'd buy that for a dollar 💵 😂
I built this kit and the convertible when it first came out back in 1968.Thank you Round 2 for bringing these kits back so us old guys can have the fun of building them again.
Yes, I agree!!!!!!
Awesome build
This is a kit that had been on my « hope to get one day » list for the last 30 years.
The 1st NEW car my dad ever purchased was a blue 2dr '68 Plymouth with a white vinyl top,...BEAUTIFUL CAR!,... and as you said, the fog lights were yellow bulbs with clear plastic covers. He purchased the car from a neighbor's Chry/Plym dealership, and within several months when the yellow bulb died, the dealership replaced the fog light covers with yellow covers and clear bulbs. He asked our neighbor "Why?", and as our neighbor was the head of the service department, he mearly told my dad, "Why do you care?". So now you know why YOU painted the front fog light covers clear/yellow: your Mopar service department head was a smart ass ! 😊😊
Enjoyed the build. I like the trailer included with the kit.
Great build
That's terrific! I'm going to have to get one of those!
A friend of mine found an original release of this kit and built it.. I've been looking forward to this kit being available for years.
Nicely built sharp detailing like the blue color
Looking forward to getting this kit!!! 👍👍
Well goes with out saying that I have to get 3 of them!! What's my name!!... Mopar or no car!
HeII.... I'll buy 4 or 5 of them !!!! 🤪🤪 😊
@@TOOL_MARKSyes sir!
Wow Chris so awesome you knocked it out of the park!!
Great review, build and presentation.
Another fun build to watch, and I always like the extras on these kits.
I wonder how many Mopar kits are left to reissue; Round 2 did a great job to keep Mopar fans happy lately! I think the '69 Charger 500 remains to be seen again, and IIRC there was rumors about the 1972 Charger coming back again soon?
👍👍
This is gonna be popular. Many thanx.
I'm excited about that kit! Yours turned out great Chris! 😎👍
Excellent build Chris! Looks like a great kit. I really love all the options and the trailer.
Turned out really awesome ! I'd Better finish my original before this one hits the shelves .😀 Thanks Round2 and HPI Guys!
Awsome job ..kinda of a Petty Blue!
Got my model ordered today. I'm just as excited to build this model this coming Spring as I was when I 1st built this model in 1968 ! I even remember the 1st real '68 R/T (maroon) I saw out on I-70 in Missouri when it passed us running over 100mph ! Never had seen a car going that fast in Virginia !
Another excellence build and presentation Chris! Great color choices! I have been looking forward to this release !
HEY-DAR 👊😎👍: Nice Unboxing & Build As Usual Cheddar-head 😊 I was just thinking 🤔 this Guys getting pretty good with brushing on his floor polish LOL 🤣 Be Watching You Later, (MODEL CAR)🎭(MAN CAVE)
Looks great Chris!
Great job Criss! I like how you bring out all the details on your models. Also the reviews, you always show what's in the kits and what's not.
Wow I'm absolutely impressed Chris! Great job!
I will put a metal Axil on the front on mine when i get one , Great build
Hi Chris that Turned Out GREAT 👍 👍 Also you haven’t did a weathered kit lately looking forward to one soon.
This looks wicked! Like it's ready to stage. Man, I love your build videos! It's just too bad you have to partially conceal the beautiful interiors! Don't ever stop! You have a perfect presentation style and editing!!!!
Looks awesome!
The silver sharpie looks a lot easier to use than applying the bare metal sheets to trim
This one came together nicely - I like how you've mixed the stock parts with the racing ones, but in all honesty those Round 2 decal sheets are so nice you have to find a way to use them, even if you didn't really want to build a racing car to begin with. As you used the Q-tips, I remembered an ad I used to see as a child that said Q-tips could be used for model car building. What you said about how they could handle the rear end treatment via a decal makes perfect sense; about 30 years ago the AMT 1993 Firebird kit had the taillights as a decal with a clear piece to cover them. Maybe they'll include that the next time this kit comes out?
That's a cool build. By the way, since this product is not imported into Korea, I will have to buy a monogram 1967 model imported into Korea and paint it blue.
Interesting seeing a drop axle on the trailer
Hi Chris, that certainly was a great build, would many law enforcement agencies have used these cars? I would like to build a Police car some day, very bedt regards from Australia
Would have been funny if you painted that trailer orange n white 😂
Plus it would be cool to make a drag version police or fire chief car from this
Beautiful kit, really surprised to see the police and fire equipment. I bet the aftermarket comes up with a 4 door sedan body for this kit.
Awesome job mate👍
I think that’s my next build, I just did a 67 Chevelle😊
Never built a mpc kit and I don’t want to but this one’s intriguing cos it adds details I don’t see in most mpc kids I don’t want them to be complicated I just want them to be worth the money and time I don’t want to spend money a build something I could just buy pre built in a box
Looks good sir!
The more detailed chassis from the 69 Mopar kits fit right underneath this as well as the 90s pro street ones too
came out good as always cant wait too get this one
i want 3 of these to do 3 different versions, unfortunatley i live in Canada so it will be challenging to get them, we dont have modeling stores as our US neibours.
Nice build review Chris. It is great to see this kit available once again.
I will definitely get two
Looks awesome as always Chris. I'm going to have to get myself one.
I love that Pure Blue paint. Love the videos.
That's your sweetest looking build to date
That color is like a more sedate scat pack color and those custom wheels would look tight af on other Mopar kits
nice build, i cant help myself but you know the track wouldn't let you run with the gaping hole in the trunk, they'd make you seal the hole because fire happens. it would have been really cool if you had a street sign covering the hole lol
Excellent build as usual 👍! I have been waiting for this kit to build a replica of the 1:1 that I owned back in the day.
You are the best models channel around, for some reason your channel is the only one i can watch, probably because you are a great presenter and host😊
Wow, thank you!
Great looking kit. Excellent build. Everything looks great. I will definitely get one to go with the convertible kit I bought last year. Thanks for sharing.
another great build lookin forward to this un. now I am not complaining but wish they would have given a four speed option but I guess thats why you have "parts boxes"
This is the car they borrowed the Charger 500 grille from😊
Outstanding build for an outstanding kit, I'm soooo glad they're reissued some of the old mopar kits, And this kit can be made into a 68 dodge super bee too with some work, but I'm not a fan of the promo style chassis, you can use the 68 Roadrunner or 69 GTX etc, to remedy that, let's keep our fingers crossed for a 71 challenger and a 72 charger rally. Keep up the great work Chris.
Stunning build Chris! I've gotten back into model building since finding your channel. I built a "Smokey and The Bandit" Tribute. The AMT Kenworth 925, Fruehauf 48ft beaded trailer and the 77 Pontiac Firebird (Smokey And the Bandit edition). The truck had it's difficult moments but it turned out really well. I purchased a full decal set online of the Stage Coach robbery and truck stripes. I chose to use Rustoleum Black primer, Gloss Black and clear coat. These were paints I've seen you use before. The gloss black took a very long time to harden and when I did apply the clear coat- disaster stuck and orange peeled it all. I've never used these paints before and don't know what I did wrong. In one of you video's you said you use a dehydrator to speed up the drying time. What can a modeler do if they don't have one? Another thing I need yet to try is the floor polish clear coat. I seen the video that you did on a pickup truck- it still scares the crap out of me to do it.
Awesome stuff
Cheers
Earl
Just finished the convertible, I must say everything went well in construction. Now if they would only release that 71 Demon 340 kit.
I just bought three of them from Walmart tonight.
Has anyone ever told you that you sound like the guy that does the SpaceX vidoes? I hear you talking about MECO, SECO and landing.... Killer looking build. I can't wait to get that kit. I have some HOK Pavo Purple i've been holding on too for a while....it will look good on that car.
That's a new one, haven't been told I sound like that guy yet. Thanks!
The custom wheels are Fenton Super Sharks.
They still do with all the drag and drive events they have nowadays the drag cars all pull trailers
Came out beautiful.
I have a question, What is that marker you used to do the window trim?
a silver sharpie thats what i use now thanks too his videos
@@tonymadia4554 OK sounds good, Thank you, I'll see it I can find it on Amazon
I'm from 🇦🇺 and I have never seen a trailer with a drop axle, here no tow hitch is allowed to pass under a fuel tank it's just illegal everywhere. Small differences between countries can be interesting
Pity they don't do some of the trailers as separate kits.
when does this hit the shelfs Chris ?
I'm looking to buy this one, and but the 70 Dodge Super bee for the chassis,the chassis for the 68 would be good for other Dodge projects, just find the chassis for the 70 Super Bee better is all
When will this be released?
What kind of cement are you using?
Chris uses Plastruct Bondene.
Do you ever paint your models black
Like 1968 all over again...
Did any body have trouble with the kit trailer &truck trailer axles to short
👍👍
So glad you mentioned the torture of doing an accurate Coronet 500 or R/T tail light panel. My TWO niggles are if you are doing an R/T or 500, the side scallops are trimmed in chrome - they easily could make 4 little chrome fingernail scallops on the sprue, and to me the tail light panel should be separate chrome piece allowing you blackwash it like 500 or R/T or paint it body color like lower trim Coronets. Other than that you KILLED it, especially that pesky rear panel!! . '68 500 was my first car at 18 in '71, 2nd was brand new 'Cuda in '74. In NE I had big fat snow tires mounted on Rallye Wheels on the Coronet - looked cool ! LOL 👀
First one to comment
I’ve built 1 off testers kits of cars I though we’re ugly better than amt kits I thought would be coool Amt needs to step up their quality game more so than have built in axels in their chassis if I wanted a shelf car if just buy one I build model cars for the detail and enjoying building them not because I’ll remember them sitting on a shelf actually I give them away and I’ve even took the time to cut out the built in axels to put in something that looks real its 2023 not 1967
Extra value is what you get. When you buy Coronet.
Great build
