This 53-year-old Dodge Coronet with a 7.0L V8 could be yours for $155k

A rare, low-mileage 1968 Dodge Coronet Super Bee coupe is looking for a new owner after a full restoration.

The Super Bee specification (see video) debuted in 1968 and packed a rather extreme seven-liter Hemi eight-banger coming in versions rated up to 425 PS (419 hp / 313 kW) and 660 Nm (487 lb-ft) of torque. Only 125 units rolled off the assembly lines in the first year of production, out of which fewer than 100 had the three-speed automatic transmission also found in this example.

The mileage barely exceeds 16,000 miles, or 26,000 kilometers. Its first owner was a drag racing enthusiast from Indianapolis who blew the engine and sent it over for repairs, selling the rest of the car. The new owner kept the car in his garage without the engine until 2017, after which he put its original engine back under the hood and conducted a complete overhaul which reportedly cost him $110,000.

The asking price is $154,995.
