I like the green stripe, the 318 not so much

I think I looked at this car for dad several years ago

This car has a lot of "presence". Very nice combination. 318 is fine 17-20 MPG works great for me. It's a drivers car. No mention of A/C though. Non A/C would be a deal killer.

Especially down south! 
Nice looking car...reminds me a lot of the 1970 Chrysler Newport my uncle owned.
Exact same color combo, but his had bench front seat, no console (of course) and was a 383 2bbl. It had factory AC too.

it is funny how we think so different sometimes about details.
My DD is a 1970 Imperial with 440, the gas mileage is terrible (exspecially because I drive it around town a lot caught in traffic jams).
I never cared about MPG in my life yet.
My AC doesn't work and I don't care either. Of course Germany isn't as hot as the southern and western part of the US.
But even in the hot days with temperatures above 90 F I just turn down all windows and I am fine. It is a triple black car so it gets a lot of extra heat from the sun.
So these things don't bother me at all.
But..........despite one all my C-Bodys are 440 cars because I do hate it to have the feeling to be "underpowered".
In traffic I want to have the save feeling that I can quickly accerlate if needed and vanish.

I usually agree with you and respect you for much above except this always gets under my skin

Obviously, youve never driven a 360, a 383-4 or a 340 swapped in. . . . and you have missed out on a lot

Hi Dave,
we are all different with different opinions. That is good !
I have a 71 SF with 383-2. Also had a 69 Mod Top Satellite with 383-2. Combined with 2,76 gears it has a lack of torque IMHO. They also have converters with lower stall than the 383-4 engines.
All my wagons with 383s felt slow. They were 383-4 cars (70 Sport Suburban, 69&70 T&C).
Surprisingly my 72 Sport Suburban with a 360 felt and drove faster than most of my 383 wagons.
Despite my C-bodys I am used to drive B-Body Muscle cars (all 4-speeds), most of them with 4,10/3,54 or 3,91 gears. I like the "kick in" of plenty of torque.
I am missing that power in a C-body due to several reasons.
Unfortunatly no 4-speed fuselage C-Bodys were built, second the gears are longer (3,23 is the shortest gear).
So for a "quick pass" in heavy traffic you need to accelerate fast.
Or if you have to rush to turn over an intersection.

Ok....I never had an issue with my 340 or 360...and the 360 was a 2 barrel

I think I'm about an hour and a half away. If someone was seriously interested, you could pm me. Maybe, we could work out a deal to inspect/buy/store/deliver to car transport company
