1968 Chrysler 300 hardtop original paint 440 motor air power windows, seats, antenna vach gage etc,.. I even have the build sheet !!! It has a cassette player with a CD changer and newer dual Flowmasters. SOUNDS AND DRIVES GREAT!!! need some work but a great running very solid car it needs a new life. It has very minimal rust. Shifts well and is plenty of power.I was going to restore this car but things come up and I have to move. So it has to go to a new owner to give it care. I do not want to sell it to someone who will pull out the motor and trash the body. it's too nice of a car for that. I will be adding more photos of it soon, please ask me if you want any particular areas sent. Please call Gary @ 443- 59one- six2six4 thank you for looking

Looks like a lot of car for 3k. I hope it gets saved.

 

[polara71]

Looks reasonable.........whats the hitch?

 

[Fratzog]

Why do so many ads have "hp" when there's no sign the 440 is an hp?

 

[polara71]

This one has the hp manifolds but why is it blue.....TNT? Gotta look at the block

 

[Fratzog]

Hmmm....look like regular logs to me?

So this is the one I have to pull the trigger on?

Were all the TNT's in 68 painted orange?

 

[68Nwprt]

In blue, from what looks to be 68 by the shape of the air cleaner. Got me confused.

Bob, pull out your engine paint chart for us will you?
I don't think there were any orange big blocks in '68.

Six paks were. What was their first year? 68 or 69?

I believe 440-6s came out in 69 followed by the 340-6s in 70.

 

[commando1]

I believe you're right.
But as it turns out, 1968 440 hp's and police engines were indeed orange.
Look it up...

440-6 was a mid year in 1969.

I believe 440-6s came out in 69 followed by the 340-6s in 70.

March '69.......440-Six Barrel and Sixpack debuted, T/A 340 6 Pack was indeed '70 and a breed all to their own when talking SB's.

Regular 440


440 HP

 

[detmatt]

I'm going out on a limb and say that no 440s were orange in '68 and I need proof otherwise, and Julian that chart may not be accurate.

 

[Big_John]

Yea, that chart isn't accurate.

1968 383 Roadrunner HP engines were turquoise, not orange. 1969 were orange, except for the A/C cars that had a turquoise engine (and 5 less HP).

 

[vdk2010]

Ok, I had this side in my favourites for a long time, but now I found a lot charts like this, and they are all defferent...

This page writes about a 1968 383S engine in Hemi Street Orange, but I don't know if this is right?!
