They made 9,553 Coronet R/T hardtops and 628 convertibles in 1967, according to the Dodge & Plymouth Muscle Car Red Book.
 
Point is, this is not rare by top-tier muscle car standards. It's rare compared to a Chevelle, of course, but not compared to the really big buck muscle cars.
 
It's only when you start adding the rare engine options that the numbers drop into that delicious arena of mere tens or under 100 of something.
 
I don't think I've ever seen a 1967 R/T Hemi---that would be rare!!

Okay, but 628 is still awfully rare compared to 10,000! As for the Hemi, I doubt if they made more than 70-100 of them with it. And with all the aftermarket conversions, clones, crate Hemis, etc, I'd imagine there are more 426 Hemis running around today than were originally produced!

Rarity alone doesn't count. People have to want the car as well. Some 6 cylinder convertible can be rarer than any Hemi but it won't have much value.
 
Anyway, without documentation one's Hemi-engined car is often regarded as a counterfeit.
 
Burden of proof is on the owner. Even VIN tags and data plates are suspect.
 
Again, muscle car prices are all about the engines, not the cars.
