For Sale 77 t&c

[300rag]

Here's a wagon offered by the guy from BC that is also putting a 72 front clip on a 69 Monaco

I have owned this beautiful 1977 Chrysler Town & Country wagon since 2009 when I imported the car to Canada from Washington state.Ive owned many 74-78 New Yorkers, Imperials & Town & Country wagons and I always wanted to create the wagon that Chrysler should have built. The car is currently registered in British Columbia; it had Washington title/registraton; it is a simple matter to re-register/title it in the US. I can deliver it to Seattle or Tacoma shipping depot for expenses and will handle the paperwork at the border. It drives beautifully and i wouldn't hesitate driving it anywhere; I have done several roadtrips in it this summer with no issues. It has a strong 440 motor with RV cam, Edelbrock intake and carb, the front end has been completely rebuilt, many many new parts have been installed inc motor & trans mounts, U-joints,belts, Power Steering box, brakes, belts, hoses, oil pump, fuel pump, gas tank cleaned out etc etc. It has cold R134 a/c which was recharged in August 500 miles on new Hankook tires, just installed full dual exhaust with Thrush mufflers and MagnaFlow tips that sounds nice and throaty without being too much. Everything works except the gas gauge which has begun to work intermittently. All power window motors were replaced, the left rear is abit slow. Driver's door needs a power lock solenoid so it can't lock until a new one is installed. There is a Blaupunkt Venture CD in dash radio (wth manual) and a Cobra CB radio. A 78 New Yorker/Imperial hidden headlight nose, hood and bumper were installed and the car was repainted the original Jasmine Yellow in Feb of 2015. Refinished Chrysler chrome road wheels have just been put on with 2 NOS center caps & domes ( the other 2 are very good) All glass is good, trim & moldings are very good; some NOS trim pieces were used. The bumpers and all side trim was removed for painting. The interior is in very good condition, both front power seats work properly, the door panels are in very good condition, the solid molded headliner is very good with a little bit of staining that should clean up, The upholstery inc the 3rd seat was redone in the past and looks good. The carpet was also replaced before I got the car and it is in good condition with not tears or worn spots. It needs rear carpet for the 3rd row seat foot well which has no rust and has been rustproofed, and the weatherstrip at the bottom of the rear window needs replacing. This is a very solid car, no sign of rust in the floors, 1/4s or underneath, the spare tire well had some rust but this was removed. The right rear rocker has a bump that was overlooked when the car was painted. there are some paint runs in the door jambs and a small 1 on the nose, I planned on dealing with them when the paint job was older. There is a spot on the passenger side headlight door and 1 on the bottom right of the tailgate that also could be touched up if you want to be picky. I have set the reserve far less than what i have into the car. Any questions please call me. Mark 250-881-0149

Impressive.
Yet again, the age old problem of how to merge the T&C trim with the Imp/NYB nose.

I like it, but that engine bay looks really rough.

The color is gorgeous on this one. Definitely the way Chrysler should've built the car in the first place. That Imperial/New Yorker doghouse makes these look downright elegant.

Looks like Golden Fawn paint......nice!

So, how are we going to handle that trim problem?..

Easy...line up the end to the Imperial marker so that it looks proper. Use spare trim and cut/ extend the upper trim piece. Once you have it correct, TIG, grind/ sand and polish the "new" longer upper piece. The piece around the bumper fill would be harder and I haven't cooked up anything for that yet that I'm happy with.

And it's that easy, huh?

True enough, I haven't done it...the trim is aluminum, so TIG is the only way to go without winding up with a seam in the trim.

Just remove all the damn stuff...

ABSOULUTLY Stunning.. Great job.
