NOT MINE 1970 Chrysler 300 , Red Deer Alberta $ 26,500
- Thread starter Welder guy
- Start date
@marko @boostedvan @c-barge -- do we know this car? It strongly reminds me of the red U-code 300 'vert shown below, that one of you knows -- could it be the same car? (front plates are the same style but have different nbrs, and yet...):

Not the speedometer from this car.
Wasn't this car in an estate sale? Then maybe flipped?? I remember it as being north of the border or close to it.
I have four ER6 red U-code 300 'verts in my little dataset. I don't have records of any one of them being flipped, so would be grateful if you could find the link to the car that you have in mind?
Note that this is not CM27UOC102170 -- different engine bay look and this one has a RHS rearview mirror. @antonellomopar can confirm
This is not the TNT that @boostedvan owns either -- that one is missing her tag, and the search continues for a build sheet.
The third one I know is in the States. I have been sworn to secrecy about that car, till it is ready to get back in the limelight.
The fourth is the one that I showed in the two pics above (kindly sent to me by a member two years ago, when I started the directory of 1970 TNT 'verts).
BUT...
This one for sale in Red Deer is NOT red -- the seller just shared the tag with me, and CM27U0C205952 was born EB3 blue. Some of the original color can be seen at the edges in the photo below:

--> the VIN is CM27U0C205952
EB3 = Paint Code: Light Blue Metallic

M = Medium
6 = Vinyl Bucket Seats
XW = White Vinyl / Black Dash & Floors
EW1 = Upper Door Frame Color: White

Beautiful car. The paint on the engine looks fresh enough that the engine probably has been out of the car at some time. Also the firewall is painted black. Shouldn’t it be red? A very tempting machine, nevertheless.
the fact that the seller is using a pic of another car's odometer makes me lose interest in dealing with the guy
I reached out to the seller. He checked right away and said that he'd mistakenly copied the pic from another vehicle he sold in the past instead of the proper odometer. The mileage on the Chrysler is 45,274 and not 30 something.
Looks like a honest mistake to me -- I've seen that happen before.
I looked and can't find it.
A lot of these are blurring together... So I could be mistaken. Possibly not a convertible, but I seem to remember there was an appraiser involved that didn't do his job.

What is intriguing, is that this car is very similar to CM27T0C247921, which was also from Red Deer (not originally, but of late). Seems to be a lot of nice, well optioned C-bodies around there. Any explanation as to why this would be?
Best part its not an AC car! Lovely to get a full few of that beautiful orange 440!
Interestingly it has a 26" radiator. Tow package car possibly?
Interestingly it has a 26" radiator. Tow package car possibly?
its a U code TNT so i believe it would have had the increased cooling capacity, all the TNTs ive seen had the 26"
But by that logic the V-code 6bbl cars should have a 26" rad as well but they all have 22".
as i said " all the TNTs i have seen" and thats in Chryslers, i havent seen enough 6bbl GTs to comment on their rads
Mine has gone missing Peter. I currently don't know where it is...... @Tobias74 has it hidden somewhere so if you know where let me know

Alberta (the province Red Deer is in) has always had a lot of oil money and the 70's where a boom. Crosstown Motors in Edmonton which is a few hours north of Red Deer sold a lot of high dollar Mopar products back in the day even more so considering the population at the time.
