The 1967 Dodge Charger marked the second year of production for Dodge's bold fastback performance coupe, a car that blended upscale interior appointments with aggressive styling and big-block muscle. Introduced for 1966 as Dodge's answer to the growing personal luxury performance segment, the Charger distinguished itself with a dramatic fastback roofline, full-width grille, and innovative features like a full-length center console and fold-down rear seating, creating a unique fusion of performance and practicality.
For 1967, subtle refinements improved drivability and interior ergonomics, while retaining signature features such as electroluminescent dash lighting, a futuristic, aircraft-inspired illumination system, and motorized hideaway headlights, giving the Charger its unmistakable presence both day and night.
At the top of the performance hierarchy sat the legendary 426 HEMI V8, one of the most revered powerplants of the muscle car era. Officially rated at 425 horsepower and 490 lb-ft of torque, the HEMI was a race-bred engine derived from Chrysler's NASCAR dominance, featuring hemispherical combustion chambers, forged internals, dual 4-barrel carburetors, and heavy-duty cooling. In 1967, only a very small number of Chargers were equipped with the HEMI, and even fewer were paired with the highly desirable 4-speed manual transmission, making such examples exceptionally rare and coveted today.
Selecting the HEMI option brought with it a host of performance-focused upgrades, including:
Heavy-duty suspension and torsion bars
Upgraded cooling system with larger radiator
High-capacity fuel delivery system
Reinforced drivetrain components to include 18-spline transmission shaft and the Dana 60 limited-slip rear axle
Unique badging and trim identifiers
The example offered here is finished in striking RR1 Yellow, complemented by a Black bucket seat interior (Trim Code S6X), presenting a classic high-impact color combination. This Charger retains its numbers-matching drivetrain and shows 93,400 miles, reflecting a lifetime of careful stewardship.
Factory-equipped options further enhance its desirability and usability, including:
Power front disc brakes
Power steering
Fender-mounted turn signal indicators
Redline tires with deluxe wheel covers
Astrophonic AM radio
Heat and defrost system
All tinted glass
Fold-down rear seats
Full-length front and rear center console configuration
3.54 Sure-Grip rear axle for optimal performance balance
This Charger remains a largely original example, benefiting from one older exterior repaint while still showcasing exceptionally well. Its authenticity is further supported by its California origins, where it was customer-ordered and delivered new through Bishop Motor Sales in Hollister. Over the years, it would pass through a respected MOPAR collection in Texas before joining a Kansas-based collector, where it has resided for the past five years.
Accompanying documentation is extensive and highly valuable, including a factory build sheet from FCA Historical Services, along with a complete decoded VIN and fender tag analysis by noted Mopar authority David Wise, founder of MMC Detroit.
Recent service ensures the car remains in excellent mechanical condition, including:
New rear brake wheel cylinders
Freshly turned brake drums and new hardware
Brake fluid flush
Engine oil and filter service
New oil pan with gasket
Combining rarity, documentation, and unmistakable presence, this 1967 Dodge Charger HEMI Fastback represents a highly collectible opportunity to own one of the most iconic and scarce configurations of the muscle car era, an authentic, numbers-matching example of Dodge's legendary HEMI performance legacy.
