I don;t have the fender tag pic handy, but here are some roof pics. I suck at Bondo, so it looks pretty sad. I think I may have at least slowed or stopped the bleeding with sanding and primer. Body work's not my thing. The rest of the car is solid, just that roof area. the asking price is very...

I've decided to part with my beloved 300. I sadly do not have the resources to giver her a proper restoration. In the interest of transparency, I paid $6,500 for her in 2019 and put in about $1,500, so I'd like to come out even, give or take. But I'll accept any reasonable offer to keep her from...

I'm a total newb on electrical things. A few weeks ago, the 300 wouldn't start (1969 300, 440 K motor). Didn;t leave anything on or open, just turned the key and got two slow turns and that was it. The battery's about four years old, I haven't driven the car but maybe 5,000 miles since I got...

So I pulled the trigger a couple of weeks ago and pulled the vinyl off my roof. It wasn't pretty. Vinyl covers a multitude of sins. I hope I managed to at least stop the spread with some sanding and primer, but obviously gotta patch the holes. I know about as much about body work as any guy...

So I crawled under car and my biggest socket (7/8) wouldn't fit. What size are those things?

Should there be any differential between the front and rear ride height? I have a 69 300 and always noticed a bit of a rake in the car's profile. I remember the revious owner telling me he had planned to make it a low-rider (to each his own...) and may have already begun by lowering the front...

check on those first two, reading up on that. thx

Hello, I'll be the first to admit I only know slightly more than the average bear when it comes to engines and near null on carburetors. Quick backstory: I had a minor engine fire last year that melted some ignition wires and damaged the coil and carb beyond repair. I has the wires and coil...

Greetings everyone. Looking back at my car after I parked it (a rather common occurrence), I noticed just how low the front end it. I'm not scraping speedbumps with it, but I wouldn't mind it sitting a bit higher, especially with 15 inch 235/70s in the near future. The previous owner told me he...

I'm in the process of replacing the rear drums on my '69 Chrysler 300. The only thing I'm stuck on is the horseshoe clip and wave washer for the parking brake lever. It SEEMS pretty straight forward, washer and then the clip, but is there any special procedure or tool I would need to make sure...

Good evening, While spending some quality time underneath my Chrysler today (rear brakes, yay!), I noticed gas leaking from my tank. I've been able to narrow it down to the vent tube where it comes out of the tank. The left hose bends easily whereas the right does not, so I'm wondering if...

I was recently able to locate a hard to find item for my 69 300 by searching for Newport parts (a 300 search always kicks back the new ones, even with the year specified). That noted, I am planning to replace/upgrade the front buckets. They're a little ratty and I wouldn't mind a headrest. Which...

Hello, I have a 1969 Chrysler 300 and am looking for two things mainly. One is front buckets with head rests, preferably white, preferably a pair. Another is heater controls with A/C. I prefer dealing face to face so I can see what I'm getting (so fairly local to me; Carolinas, Southern VA...

I'm really liking the American Racing Outlaw rim, but it's 3.75. Will that still work? There's a similar one from US Wheel with 4.5, but never heard of that brand.

Thuinking about going with this set up. What width rims are you using; I'm thinking 7" all around. Also, how well do they do on wet pavement? I rarely take it out in the rain, but we get these pop-up storms so can't always be helped.

I got those numbers off a website, can't remember which. It recommended 6 to 8 for 235s and 6.5 to 8.5 for 255s. Of course, my tire knowledge is negligible, so I'm at google's mercy ;-)

Hello, I recently posted a question about putting some slightly wider tires (and ergo, wider rims) on my 1969 300. I'm leaning heavily towards 235/70/15s up front and 255/70/15s on the back, running on seven or eight inch wide rims. I know it may depend on what brand/type I get, but will I need...

I'm thinking about putting some wider tires on my 1969 Chrysler 300. Right now, it's running 225 75's on 15 inch rims. Whitewall looks pretty sharp, but they look like bicycle tires. I did some figuring and looks like 255 60s or 235 70s are pretty close to outer tire diameter to maintain the...

Well, I took it apart and when I turned the wheel, I could see the worm gear turning, but not the gear itself. I don't remember the part number, E-something. I'll have to check again tonight. It's an off-white color, plastic (nylon?) maybe an inch in diameter. Looks like some of the teeth were...

Thanks. I know it's not necessarily a high speed motor, but does it need grease or oil?
