Quote: I'm going to look at a car this afternoon that is my buddys, his father died in an accident recently and informed me about this car that his father has owned since new and from what he says is in great original condition. At this time the info is a 68 coronet w/4 speed and a big engine. I was wondering without knowing if its an R/T or 500 was it possible to have a 4 speed behind any type of motor for that year?
Get the VIN and the first two letters will tell you the Model: WH = Coronet 440 WP = Coronet 500 WS = Coronet R/T
The 5th letter will tell you the engine: F = 318 G = 383 K = 440 J = 426 H = 383 hi performance
The R/T came stock with a 440 engine and the only option was the 426 Hemi.
According to my 68 manual the Coronet 500 would be the 318 engine. However as previously stated no 318 engine with the 4 speed.
