the rarest hemi cars, are the two 1970 Dodge Coronet R/T convertibles and the two 1966 Dodge Coronet four-door sedans. All four cars survive today. Plus there was a 5th that Hagerty didn't learn about, but I already posted about

the 5th was ordered by a service station owner. He didn't wait for delivery, he went and picked it up at the factory... he must have realized that the guys doing delivery and receipt at the dealership would lead foot test his car.

    Same car at Mecum, the ad lists it as both "documented" and a replica. https://www.mecum.com/lots/SC0518-326545/1966-dodge-coronet-deluxe-sedan/?fbclid=IwAR1q-Z91swuLwBUhmnn564YVdV1BhfDpqoCwT8g9yRk52_Wo8fXwmYbrOts

      Don Garlits made the replica as a driver, but keeps the original in his museum.

    There's another story that the two white 66 Coronet 4 doors were originally ordered by the FBI. Don Garlits apparently owns one of them and has it in his museum. https://www.hotrod.com/articles/1966-dodge-hemi-coronet/

      yup, posted about that 13 years ago. Dang, I've been doing this awhile, and covered a hell of a lot! https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2007/01/factory-four-door-hemi-dodge-one-of-5.html
