Sadly no…

Also, I’ve found that driving it around makes me nervous, I found that I don’t really like the attention it causes, plus, I’m afraid something will happen to it.

Don't let your dads car go,it's a family heirloom! You will always regret it. My parents bought this 70 Charger R/T SE new! I wish it was part of my stable! I have compensated a bit for it. Classic car insurance is cheap enough,insure the car properly and enjoy it! 67 Coronet R/Ts were the first R/T cars built! The very beginning of the R/Ts legacy! They stand the test of time as being very worthy of being the first R/T cars! Welcome to the site!

I hear what everyone is saying, but I’m reasonably sure(95+%) I would be ok with it…
Yup, I’m aware of the R/T history(I am a car guy, just winding down with my involvement)…I know there are many more people that would love(and drive!) this car more than myself though…‍

Thanks for this…

Welcome, and nice car you have there!

I understand that there are realities of storage and maintenance, but please think long and hard before selling the car. There are many folks who have sold their cars and regret doing so. Given your car's history, I think it would be a shame for you to part with it unless you absolutely have to.

May I humbly suggest you find a Mopar or general car club. Then write up stories about the car's history and share it with people. I think you'll be surprised how much people connect with car stories. As @hunt2elk wisely suggests, make sure the car is insured and then drive it and enjoy it routinely. Your dad would absolutely approve, and once you get used to the car I think you'll find it has great character.

Finally, this community is a great resource to keep it running and for any kind of help you may need.

Good Luck!

Thank you…
Yes, I’m pretty familiar with it’s character!

@Tori’s67, I'm sorry for the loss of your father. I understand the constraints of both finances and storage, but if you can solve those issues you should hang onto it. Bought new by your father and 24k miles cannot, I repeat, cannot be reproduced. If you just can't swing it right now, maybe there is a family member who would be the caretaker until your situation changes. Also, it's not about what the car deserves, it's what you deserve. I hope you're able to enjoy having and driving it. Cheers!

Thanks so much for this…I appreciate it.

There isn’t any other family members with a good situation for the car(it would get wrecked), and our finances don’t have a lot of wiggle room looking forward…

I am sorry for your loss. I am also sorry to hear that your situation may prevent you from keeping your dad's treasured R/T. If you have to part with it, I know there are some members here that could give it the home it deserves. Make sure it is going to survive. Pictures of my 1967 R/T.

You have been blessed to have such a wonderful legacy car, but I appreciate your concerns. I'm also current caretaker of one, and like yourself, don't have family in a position to carry the torch when I'm done. I agree with the advice offered by Hawk and Jerry. Personally, I've had some storage situations made available by car friends over the years, at no cost, once they got to know my vehicle. Sure hope it works out for you.

First off, my condolences go out to you and your family. I lost my dad back in 98 and still have his 95 Dakota that he bought new. Thing is he got a V6 and I told him before he bought it that the V8 would be a better choice and the gas mileage wouldn't be much different but he got the 6 anyways and then griped about the mpg lol. Oh well. But the car I sold that I still regret doing was a 71 340 Cuda. Owned it for around 18 years. Never had a Mopar that acted like that car. I get the feelings that you have and had the same too when the prices for certain parts went through the roof.....and now after Covid, it's even crazier. Keep it man if you can. Looks like the pic is in a storage facility? I can understand not wanting to keep on paying the price of storage plus the fact that around here, seems like storage places are a hot item for the aholes to hit. I've used them in the past and got out of a storage place I had down the road after buying a enclosed car hauler for a decent price. It's paid for itself a couple of times over now since I don't have to pay rent anymore. Just glad I have a place to park it.

Nice 67, I am sorry things are such that you have considered selling it.
I hope you find a way to keep it, your dad hung onto it for all these years.
I kid you not, I would work a extra part time job t keep that.
If the day comes you want to list it on here do a ton of research on the value and contact one of the mods for the right way to list it.
