69 Chrysler 300 back on the road! I should call it the Chrysler $30000. lol
Thanks to all the Forum Members that offered their help and photos to all my questions.
Bought the car this past Dec. (2021), it was drivable with 100,000 miles on it but was in need of some mechanical TLC.
I towed it home, drove it around the block twice and tore it apart.
Body is solid with some surface rust, there is one bad spot around the back window under the vinyl roof. I’m leaving the body as is, scratches, patina, etc.. It’s a very original car, engine, transmission, alternator (still working after 52 years), differential, wheels, wheel covers, interior, etc..
New fuel tank, fuel lines.
New shocks, tires, HD wheels & Poverty Caps.
New Firm Feel Stage II Steering Box.
Original 440ci rebuilt, is now a 505ci with HP exhaust manifolds and TTI 2.5” dual exhaust.
Original radiator overhauled by Glen-Ray Radiators.
Original alternator, rebuilt/overhauled.
Original transmission rebuilt, shift kit, HD internals.
Original 2.76 Open diff. converted to a 3.23 Sure Grip.
Front seat bottoms recovered in original material. Some interior plastic panels replaced or repainted.
New carpet installed.
