Very rare cars, 2 hemi converts, bronze and lime green both known cars, some say there was a 3rd scrapped long ago possibly in Ga. only 14 hemi hard tops and only 16 6 pak coverts, so with those its only 30 cars total. I am aware of only 3 hemi hardtops, 1 dark green and 2 purple, as for 6 pak converts I am not so sure what is left. Any stories on known cars or lost cars, lets find them and discuss.

Hemi console auto.

There were 3 total hemi verts
1 USA spec car ( whereabouts unknown)
1 Canada spec car . Hemi 4spd . Dark tan with tan interior
1 export spec build limelight / white interior. Hemi auto


Ps. There is a limelight 440 4bbl vert in Phoenix. Really high option car.

Any stories on known cars or lost cars, let's find them and discuss how about the 1.5 Millon dollar 70 rt coronet vert.4 sp 1 of two that was featured on graveyard casz . they say the other was crushed in the 70s

This post reminded me of a car I saw in the late 90s that was a "new to them" project: 1970 coronet, lime, at that time I did not see or know the top or interior color, 4 speed 6 pak car. We picked up the numbers engine about 15 or 20 mins away from Lebanon Valley dragstrip during one of their mopar weekends. . I dont know what ever happened to that car, but the owner was a very passionate enthuiast with other nice cars.....

There was a 70 Coronet RT440 6 pack 4 speed purple convert with a functioning Ramcharger hood around here in my town. It was a one owner and got sold several years ago when the original owner found out he had cancer, it sold just before he died.

There was also a burnt orange 70 Coronet Rt 440 6 pack 4 speed car, the last I heard was the owner of the orange car bought the purple car as well, I think I saw a Mopar rag with both cars in the same pic. Time frame maybe 10 or 15 years ago, time flies when your having fun.

So no hurt feelings I won’t say WHY the 70s are rare.

A buddy of mine who I haven't seen in many years - came to my house one day in his red/white interior & top '70 Coronet R/T 440-6 - this was back around 1998-ish. I didn't even realize he owned that car. He worked for years in the parts department of a Chrysler-Plymouth dealership in Plymouth, MI. Last time I talked with him, he got hired by Chrysler doing something in parts. He went through a nasty divorce shortly after all this & he may have turned to s*it & the hogs have ate him for all I know. Damn rare car though!

At Carlisle Scott L. was advertising a 70 Coronet R/T conv 440+6 auto dark blue with tons of paperwork. Years ago at Stafford Springs swap meet 2 guys had a brown R/T Coronet 6pk auto conv. I think there was a B5 auto 6pk Coronet R/T conv for sale in the 90's.

Thanks for sharing. That is the first Six Pack 70 Coronet R/T convertible I think I've ever seen in my life. Very cool. Is it me or does it seem the majority of the 70 R/Ts seem to have the standard bulge hood? I would think the higher class of car over the Bee. That you would see more Ramcharger hoods.
