1971 Chrysler T&C 440

[71TC440]

Well, went and picked up the T&C... someone attempted to pull it from the front valance at some point Lol! There is one small rust hole in bottom driver's door, worst I have seen so far. The wagon has been sitting here for 12 years or so and who knows how long before that... severely cracked bias plys and receipts from 1986 on the floor of the interior.

Nice trailer. Room to spare even with that yacht docked on it.

Has served me well... 20' dove tail... has room for dually pictured... bad subject lol

Dang, I love that car.

 

[polara71]

Yeah, I think most of us would like to have it

Affirmative on that.

It looks good just sitting on the trailer. Almost every fuselage car I see needs one or two pieces of the trim that is affixed around the front grill (looks like yours is missing the top piece). Those pieces are a total ***** to reinstall while trying not to damage them at the same time. Very delicate, easy to bend out of shape. Overall looks like the car is in pretty good shape, it's going to be a cool ride. I could've bagged a wagon myself put passed on it. Now I'm jealous as hell,lol!

Even in its present condition, I like it too... does look good on the trailer lol. I got the 440 to turn without too much effort, then it stopped after half rotation... will soak cylinders, pull rockers and check valves. I am guessing she may need to come out. Time to get out the pressure washer and to see which wiring harness I need off parts wagon. The yard owner is a nice guy, included carb, dist, roof rack, and is locating radiator from friends shop...basically anything that is missing.

Not so fast.......maybe the starter gave out.

I have never seen wood grain so fried in my life.
Now's a good time to go full steel.

Darn, I am envious. Nice score!

I was cranking over by hand... lots of wires cut. The '69 harnesses look identical? Could go no trim, smooth roof or back to original. This color, I believe, looks good with woodgrain.... just glad it's not one of the greens or browns with matching interior.

Thanks! I believe this one is for sale... the 383 4V is long gone.

How many Chrysler wagons does this guy have?? Not surprised the motor is gone. Probably pushing somebody's resto'd Cuda around.

My thoughts exactly, a little concerned as to why the 440 was not plucked from the 71. So... There are three 69s and the 71 I bought. The green car is in the best shape and most complete. The beige parts car was yellow/black 440 car, not much left. It has front valance and roof rack I need. There is another beige wagon 383-2V that supposedly runs, only one that has 3rd seat. All the side trim was stolen.

The delicate trim missing on my around top of my grill... is 69 the same? Yeah, gotta love those little white clips that secure the trim as well Lol

 

[71TC440]

Cleaned her up a bit... would look better with tail light lenses lol

 

[mopar383]

where can you get those little white clips? nice ride- i have a 73

 

[71TC440]

Don't know if they repop the clips, may get them off another parts car?

 

[mopar383]

yeah- they usualy break or turn to dust- been making mine for years-not happy with the ones i make

 

[71TC440]

Owner of yard said I could take any thing off the 69 parts wagon. If you need some clips PM me and let me know... Rick

Could go no trim, smooth roof .

That would ruin the car in my opinion. The T&C was not a stripper Satellite.
