For a low mile Florida car it sure has enough rust under the hood and did not maintain the leather drivers seat....what else didn't they do???

I have owned one in the mid to late '80's and I almost purchased one new in 1979. I have also owned a '79 Magnum GT, t-top E-58 (Police pkg.) car in the early '80s. My opinion and the ladies back then that the Magnum was the better car of the two. You could choose from several colors on the Magnum and it looked much sportier of a car. That is why this year I found a Magnum GT, t-top, E-58 car. Time to own a Dodge again for me.

I remember the dealership, where I bought my A12 Road Runner, had three of these 300's left at the end of the 79 model year and wanted to broom them out. Great deal. I looked and walked away because of the poor quality and fit & finish of all three cars. I'm amazed any survived.

I've always wanted to like them and I do because of the lineage and that's probably it

Well then I hope you walk up to '55 300s and tell the owners "nice Windsor bub".

Just kidding, point taken.

I'm a bit surprised... Those were all built in Canada, which was always a better-quality plant vs. the Detroit plants like Lynch or Hamtramck (I'll let others do the math here). Jefferson was better than the latter two, having largely an older, 1st Gen immigrant workforce.

The one I almost bought was a left over and I agree poor build quality. I remember most of the cars chrome was going to be replaced as it was pitting. I signed the papers but backed out after thinking about it.

QC must have gone down the toilet overnight. My '76 build quality was fine (by contemporary stds, anyway).

I think many issues (at least for Canadian-built cars) were more related to material quality because of an emphasis on weight savings. Remember both the B and C bodies went on a diet in '78 and a lot of stainless trim became aluminum, aluminum trim became plastic, carpets got thinner, etc. This probably translated itself to both perception (touch/feel) and actual fit, because the new materials didn't play well with steel bodies.

They lose me at the double stacked rectangular headlights. I dislike them as much as guys dislike the '70 Fury formal roof.
